Gorgeous part of the river at the far end of FR14, nearly to Lower Bridge. Small and quiet campground, lots of shade, the best spring water ever on tap. Standard vault toilet smells, try to avoid #16. Host was responsible for 5 campgrounds (?), so don't rely on the reservation tags being updated, just go find them @ site #17 and ask what's available.

Wonderful, quiet campground! We were there mid-week and the campground was half full, mostly with older people who were there for fly fishing. The water was working just fine when we were there. Lovely hiking trails along the river. The sites were generally good sized but not a ton of privacy with many sites. We were in site 4, and the adjacent site (6?) would have been ideal to reserve together with a larger group.

We love the Camp Sherman and Metolius River area. This camp is quite a distance from Camp Sherman. It was quiet and the host was great in helping us make some changes.
