Really nice spacing and greenery between campsites, only about 10min East of Idanha, fresh water spigots throughout campground, nice fly fishing opportunities for native trout

Great campground. Stayed on site 30 next to the river and that makes a difference with the noise from the road. Place was clean and bathrooms too. Had great experience and not our first stay there. Some sites are hard to get to the water from especially on the east loop. Overall a great campground. Recommended.

Had a nice stay here. Getting to the river is tough on the east loop. Host was friendly and available. The vault toilets were pretty clean for vault toilets. They are very dark inside even during the day. Fire rings were in great shape, sites were clean. The site we stayed in had many tripping hazards like tree roots, rocks, and stumps(bring a head lamp). The water spigots were clean and the water was very fresh and cold. Waste water and periodic dumpsters. Like other reviews, there is the noise from the highway. We didn't think it was too bad and could hear the river over it most of the time. We will definitely return and try for a different site.

Awesome great camping spot!!

Campground is right beside the highway and I could hear traffic all night. There was also no river access for folks camped across the campground from the river. Bathrooms were clean and there was potable water and a place to dispose of kitchen sink water. It was extremely frustrating that the campground host’s rules are different than what is stated on Recreation.gov. We were told by the campground host that we could not have more than two tents. I’ve never heard of this. We had two 2 person tents and one 3 person tent for six people. How was this not allowed but we could have had two 10 people tents with 10 people total? These completely arbitrary rules either need to be on Recreation.gov or need to be standardized across campgrounds. What were we supposed to do when we had driven two hours with each group having a tent and then we find out about the tent limit? Drive back to a store to buy a tent? Cram four adults into a two person tent? Then the website says that each car beyond one is $8, however the campground host was telling us that we couldn’t even have more than two cars. And then our payment for one of the cars was questioned on day 2 of being there (this was beginning to feel a bit like harassment at this point). We also

OK campground. A lot of road noise from the highway. The campground host was very nice.

Larry the camp host made us feel right at home. Place is so well maintained and is the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle. The river is crystal clear and offers great fishing.

This is a very shady, old growth forest campground about 10 to 30 feet off HWY 22. VERY LOUD! The camphosts this year are keeping the toilets immaculate. Also selling very pricey green firewood, so do not buy. Get your firewood in Sisters. Cheaper and twice as much for the same price. We had to leave the wood, to wet to burn. If you get a spot next to creek, it will block some of the highway noise.

Things I loved: 1.Tom (?) Or John(?) The camp host. He was extremely helpful and very welcoming of our hippy band of rogues from PDX. 2. That it's a small campground with a lot of trees and river. 3. CLEAN VAULT TOILETS. (not kidding. Clean. No flies. And didn't stink) 4. The new fire rings are superb and the grates move. 5. That most of the campsites have a reasonable amount of privacy. Especially in the 30's. 6. Limited but workable river acess. 7. There wasn't 855 unruly, unsupervised kids running around. We also didn't have to deal with people setting up camp at midnight. 8. Most of the campsites are a pretty good size, Although ours (31) was smaller, but had plenty of privacy. **Be aware that river access is limited in this camp. At one end there is a fence because there's no safe way to get to it** Things that weren't my favourite: 1. It's yards from the highway State 22. If you have a campsite on the roadside (as we did) during the day it was so loud my wife and I couldn't talk. At night it was much quieter. 2. Water spigots are kinda sparse. Overall I will be going back and mapped out my favorite campsites. You have to reserve them way ahead of time. There's fun stuff all around you.

This is a decent campground right off the highway. You will incur noise from the cars on the highway, even on the sites closer to the river. There are some sweet sites to the right as you enter the CG with nice river access. The sites to the left offer little access due to the high embankment on the river. We stayed at site 15 and climbed down to the river. The sites are nice, you might be able to see your neighbors on some, others are secluded. If you have a big RV this might not be the place for you. There are a couple sites that might accommodate 18+ feet but it will be tough. This CG is very clean. The 3 pit toilets are kept very clean, at least while we were there. We gave this CG 4 stars because of Tom the campground host. This guy works hard, is super cool and very friendly. We got there around 12 on a Friday and Tom really squared us away, showed us the open sites and was very pleasant. Its a good place to crash for the night in between Central Oregon and the Valley or Coast. There are 37 sites here and you can reserve them on recreation.gov.
