Metolius River trail is awesome. also many surrounding trails to choose.
Not so thrilled with policing tactics of campground staff.
Overzealous with power.

We enjoy this campground since it provides the opportunity to do day hikes in different directions without having to move our vehicle. Many sites have a view of the Metolius River.

We were in campsite #7. In the evening we could smell fumes from the toilets.

We love this place! It's quiet and out of the way. However, the amenities are limited to outhouses and water spigots so it's not for everyone.

Great quiet campground along the Metolius River. Nice hiker trail heading downstream for about 1 1/2 mi. Pit toilets were pretty ripe.

Campground well maintained. Campers quiet. But there is no underbrush, so little privacy between campsites. And more importantly, it was mid August and the water was turned off for some reason.

No shows are an ongoing problem in many campsites.
Making reservations is one thing, but real time information is absent when it comes to occupying campsites. We are extremely frustrated with seeing so many sites not being used and left unoccupied during the dates present. We are retired and miss being able to pull up and camp.
The rules need to change. These programs are run like a hotel until you arrive and then its like OH Well, sorry, no first come serve sites available although 25% of the sites are empty.
I strongly suggest that 25% of the sites remain FF all year with physical presence a requirement.
Willamette forest is a much better option at this point.
