The host is very diligent at keeping the campground & vaults super neat, tidy, and clean. He is also very personable. My stay was relaxing & pleasant. "I'll be back."

Love camping on the river. Campground was very quiet and everyone was pleasant.
Too many flies in the vault toilet along with being smelly. Need to check the toilet paper more often on busy weekend.

We always love it here! The campground is clean and well kept. We've been camping here for over 45 years. Wouldn't be summer without a trip to the Metolious!
