Enjoyed our camping. Nice sites with good spacing between camps. Beautiful Metolius river location. Worthy of a visit

Ponderosa pine forest next to a pristine river- what could be better? Clean, large site with partial view of the river. Walking trail passes thru riverside sites so expect hikers to pass by. We walked the trail downstream to the hatchery bridge. It’s scenic but doesn’t offer many places to stop, sit and relax or picnic along the way.

Very nice campground; be prepared for RV's which can be noisy because they have generators.

The site wasn't as close to the river as we expected from the map. It was next to the entrance to the campground but also next to the forest upstream without other campsites, so pretty private on one side.

This is a very peaceful campground and the camp host, Helene, is wonderful. Helene and her husband ,Russ, are very friendly and do everything they can to help folks enjoy their stay, including keeping the restrooms super clean and even stocked with little bottles of hand sanitizer. Thank you!

We loved this weekend Get-away! The Camp Hosts - Russ & Helene - were super kind and personable. The entire Metolious area is so beautiful —there are no words to describe it. Fishing was fabulous as well!
