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.

- Reserved sites must be occupied by checkout time the day after arrival to avoid forfeiture of the reservation.
Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
