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.

Policies & Rules
Arrival & departure
- Reserved sites must be occupied by noon the day after arrival to avoid forfeiture.
Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
