There was a very full pest trap setup on a tree near our site which gave off a smell of something dead … at least that’s all we could find that would give off that bad a smell. It attracted flys or wasps which got very angry and active as the day heated up which Made it necessary to leave our site around lunch time. Other than that, the place is beautiful

The beauty and spaciousness of the campsite was an unexpected pleasure! It was clean, well maintained and private right along the river. Great for those who love the quiet of the forest and the soothing sounds of the river.

We had a beautiful spot on the river for 3 nights. Campground was very quiet and only a few other campsites occupied. We arrived on Monday. Left on Thursday after lunch. The bathroom was never attended to during that entire time. Only other negative was there seemed to be a lot of loud trucks going up the hill across the river. Including at 4:30 in the morning.

Love Lower Bridge. Ideally, it would have a little more ranger support, but I know you are short staffed. I'm advocating for more support for our park service and our public lands overall. Thank you to those who are still working to make our forests a good experience for everyone!

We love our time on the Metolious! Our camp site at Lower Bridge was in great shape. We experienced weather different than previous years. It stormed! My husband said we 10 days too early for the Green Drake hatch. ( late due to weather) The only complaint is the water spigot near us was not working. The rest in the CG worked.

I anticipated the campground might not be well-tended due to NFS staff cuts, but it was very clean and toilet paper was plentiful in the toilets. Kudos to the wonderful people doing this work in tough times! I always enjoy visiting Wizard Falls, and did again this trip. The store at Camp Sherman was very stocked, and we were grateful to find firewood as well as gluten-free food products. The campground was quiet at night, and people at other sites were friendly. It got down to the 30's at night, but daytime temperatures were pleasant. Just a few minutes of light sprinkling, no rain.
