Got to love the McKenzie River Valley!

This is a simple group stop that is super private, clean, and right on the river. We have been coming here for years. The camp host is in a nearby campground (French Pete) if you need them but overall, no one is near. There is a swimming hole/fishing spot along a private trail. Plenty of parking and spots to share. This is where we camp with our large breed dogs as they get to roam and play in the river as well.

If you are lucky, in August you will witness a salmon drop as this campground is one of the salmon spots where they release the salmon after retrieving them from the Cougar Dam.

Hard to get this spot as we tend to book a year in advance.

My Husband rented this secluded campsite for my birthday and it was perfect. All the benefits of Car Camping with the seclusion of backpacking.
