There were a lot of no shows due to the onset of cold and wet weather that week.

The campground was mostly quiet and for the most part fellow campers were respectful. Being next the river was wonderful.

The Gorge campground is awesome. All the campgrounds we have visited on the Metolius River are: Big- compared to Detroit Lake where sites are barely big enough for a small tent and sites are very, very close to eachother. Clean- we have “leave it cleaner than we found it” rule and we hardly even needed a rake. Sites here are clean. NO FLUSH TOILETS, not a deal breaker for us. Close to the water- while the Metolius River is very cold, it’s easy to get to the water from literally any campsite. Campgrounds are separate but small enough to let the little kids ride bikes. I have been coming here for 40 plus years and the changes are noticeable but nothing negative for us.

We stayed at the Gorge Campground during the fourth of July. The campground was quiet and peaceful. We went to the fish hatchery and Sisters for some shopping. We had a great trip.

This is a small, lovely campground, right next to the Metolius River. There are 18 campsites and most are large. A river-side trail is mostly separated from the campsites, but the trail does cut along the edge of several sites. There is one outhouse with two all-gender toilet rooms. The outhouse is clean and well stocked with toilet paper. In late June there was a camp host who had firewood for sale - $8 per bundle.
