The Metolius River is absolutely pristine, the sound of the River at night, well that’s just priceless. We saw all kinds of wildlife, including flower's and a bunny visited us every morning. We 100% will return.

The river is gorgeous, the campsites clean. People were respectful about keeping dogs on leash.
I hope to go back next year!

I was pleasantly surprised by how quiet and peaceful this CG was. But the real surprise was the available water. Everything I read online said there was no potable water available but instead of having to rely on my 3 gal water container, I had fresh water.

Quiet campsite #8. The tent only sites could use a little more screening from each other. We pulled out early due to the crying babies in the middle of the night next door and the joggers running through our campsite during the day and evening.
