Very quiet location, with a few sites with nice views of the Metolius River. Easy access to the trail alongside the river. Friendly, helpful campground host.

First time at Gorge Campground after walking through it for years on the Metolius River trail. Quiet and so close to the river.
Best smelling outhouses! Thanks to the campground host.

We had a nice time camping at the Gorge, sites are clean, the camp bathroom was clean and kept stocked. The bathroom gets 5/5 stars. I gave this review 4 stars because the camp host had a party and the language was horrific. We brought our granddaughter and she didn’t need that.( they did quiet down around 10 pm) Beyond that it was a great time! Bi-Mart has firewood for 5.00 a bundle or the camp store has the same for 10.00 per.

Great campground!
Our camp host, Andi, was excellent. She was professional, helpful and kind. The bathrooms and sites were very clean, and the reserved/open signs on the sites were kept up to date, which is really helpful.
Wonderful experience…

Policies & Rules

Arrival & departure

Check out time

12PM

  • 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.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.

Utilities

  • Campers must bring their own water supply as there is no water facility available.

Wildlife & food storage

  • Inspect and clean your packs, equipment, and tires to prevent invasive species before using the lake or trails.
