What Guests Are Saying

Pine Rest Campground offers a beautiful setting by the Metolius River, with spacious sites and easy access to hiking and fishing opportunities. Many visitors appreciate the peaceful atmosphere and proximity to the Camp Sherman store. However, some concerns include a lack of privacy between campsites and the need for better trail markings to avoid foot traffic through occupied sites.

Beautiful spot by the river, but zero privacy from other campsites. You can hear every conversation in the sites next to you. I had a rooftop tent but my parking spot was shared with another campsite, so my tent was right next to their truck and there was constant activity. If sites were spaced out with some vegetation in between it would be a lot better, but I won’t return here.

It was the 3rd time I have stayed at that campground. Absolutely love it there. It's at a georgous bend in the river, great fishing spot, and close enough you can walk right up to Camp Sherman store! Lots of hiking,
lots of, lots of fishing.

This was a beautiful, quiet, tent-only campground situated right on the Metolius River. Large ponderosa pines surround the campsites which are very spacious. There is easy access to the hiking trail along the river with a distance of 1.7 miles to the Camp Sherman store and (in the opposite direction) 3.5 miles to the Wizard Falls Fish Hatchery (although the trail goes quite some distance beyond either of these points. Unfortunately, the trail is not well-marked through the Pine Rest campground, so that hikers tend to walk right through any campsite, occupied or not. It would be useful if hikers could be circumvented through the parking area with clear marking that would avoid walking through campsites.

Lovely view of the Metolius. Nice large campground. Drawbacks we have are the fire pit is not very deep. Would love to have the old type of pit.

And no running water. Why did they remove the water spout?

Small campground, lovely access to the water from site 4, perfect jumping off spot for hiking, fly fishing, and stand-up paddle boarding at Suttle Lake. The hiking trail does go right through the riverfront sites, but people are respectful and it was not a problem. Don't miss going to the Camp Sherman store for delicious coffee and sandwiches and other accoutrements.
