Dolly Varden was beautiful as usual. Definitely a favorite spot and a nice trip out there.

This is a small campground. Only 5 spots. But, they are next to an amazing swimming hole. The camp itself is pretty primitive but if you're an outdoorsy type you're going to love it.

Nice little spot with water access to the creek. Deep enough to swim & float on tubes or boards a little & set up a tent, etc. wasn’t crowded in August. Not much parking (10 cars?) has an outhouse situation, pretty funky but there!

It was amazing, water was alittle low but not enough that would couldn't swim and float. Campers where very nice with sharing swim area. Over all great time.

It was ok. Lot of trash in our camp from last people. Good access to the river. Friendly people who work the fee area.

This is one of my very favorite campgrounds!!! I started camping here decades ago when ot was free to camp there! It's not free anymore, but it's still a nice spot to camp. Offers good fishing, great swimming, great camping as there are only 5 campsites, 3 on one side of the road and 2 on the other. The small amount of campspots makes it a jewel for campers who dont want to be over-run by other campers, or are in a tiny slot of a camping space, with people right next to you with no privacy. These spots offer enough room in between where you have the feeling of privacy and room to BREATHE!!! It's one of the closest "on the river" camping spots to Eugene/Springfield. I've spent many years and many camping trips right here at Dolly Varden. It's a great place to go camping or just for a drive on a day road-trip ride with a picnic lunch. I give it 4 out of 5 stars. The missing star is only for the management company that services the campgrounds, they could do a little better JOB at their JOB...other than that I would give it 5 stars!!! Happy camping!!! 🏕

Perfect spot if you have a group. Small campground with no frills outhouse. Sites 1,2&3 on one side of the road, 4&5 on the other. Grab 1,2&3 if possible for better river access and proximity to the restroom (blessing and a curse).

Always a great camp area! The spots to the left are very nice. 3 in a row. Right next to calm water in the forest. Lots of sun and shade . Although not allowed, its fun to watch families/youngsters jump off the bridge. The 3 spots on the right are nice too but harder to get to the water but not terrible at all. I live camping here.
