Such a wonderful spot. Only 5 sites and they are spread out to maximize privacy. We will be back!

basically, I don't like it, I like to show up when I want and leave when I want, without being on a schedule.

The only problem we had was finding the campground. From the tiny online map, we couldn't see that it was on the opposite side of the river from the other campgrounds. Fortunately, an employee at the fish hatchery gave us directions.

Been here before, love the peace and quiet as well as the quick access to Camp Sherman and Hola! for a supper.

In late August, a quiet, clean campground on the Metolius River. Catch the West Metolius River trail at the campground and finish at the Wizard Falls Fish Hatchery, 5 mi round-trip. Water is clear, cold and often a lovely aqua marine color, with several "beaches" for dogs to drink, and for dogs and people to cool off.
