The reviewer prefers the flexibility of arriving and leaving without a schedule.

Our favorite spot. I only wish people would not use generators🙄😬. We go to this spot to listen to the River, wind and wildlife. A generator spoils it for those seeking solitude.

A dusty version of heaven. Nicely spaced sites and beautiful view of the confluence of Canyon Creek and the Metolius. Bathroom was well maintained and cleaned every day but only concern is the dispersed campers from around that also use the toilet make for a lot of people and one vault.

The only bummer about camping at Lower Canyon Creek was that no maps were available online to determine which sites are closest to the river. I took a shot in the dark and booked #2 and it turned out to be the best spot at the campground complete with direct river access and a mellow swimming hole. I would go back for sure.

We had a very nice stay with some friends at this well kept campground. We reserved two sites. The spots are well spread, for the most part. It's at the head of a trail down the Metolius, so you do get some daytrippers coming in and wandering through some of/near the sites. They have sufficiently blocked some spots with big rocks from being able to position an RV or trailer.
