Great campsite! Absolutely beautiful and so serene. My SIL and her husband found this spot for a surprise camping trip we planned for my MIL. After checking out the campground we booked a site. Spots fill up so fast here and from my photos you can see why. The upkeep and maintence of this campsite is amazing. Restrooms are always clean and stocked with tp and there are garbages throughout as well as recycle bins. The locals and camp hosts really take pride in making sure this campground is clean and ran smoothly. There are numerous trails for hikes, the river/lake is vast as there are so many spots for one to sit and relax or swim. There is a sandy beach and boat ramp and then a more rocky side of the beach. There is also an amphitheater for any entertainment you and your family or friends would like to have. Also a great campground for rock hounding. I found quite a few treasures from my time here. Definitely a campground I would recommend to anyone. It's about 35 minutes or less out from Eugene and Oakridge is about 5-10 minutes away, they have a Ray's grocery store and few other spots. Campsites are pretty private and spread out and are all different in size and space. I had a great time with my family and I highly recommend for all to enjoy this beautiful campground in Oregon. I can't wait to return!
Great place, close to towns, clean outhouses, amazing photo opps, giant trees & river swimming. Super nice camp hosts. The best thing about this campground is, that a bunch of the spaces are far apart & secluded. We loved the quiet peace at night & no critters got into our stuff. We put all our food, inside the cars at night, so I am certain that helped. Tons of walking trails & if you're a patient rockhound, there are treasures to be found. The water is clear & cool & there is a sandy beach to hang out on. There is also an amphitheater. I adore this campground & will return.
It has a freshly repaired water system.
The camp hosts are wonderful. They keep the camp sites and restrooms clean. The sound of the Willamette River is very soothing.
Where's the website had better info on camp-style this campground was bathrooms very clean campsites well are four tents I wish the website would have said that the sites are nicely spaced out but the highway and the train track so close makes it extremely noisy site 72 was supposed to be double parking as you can see in the photo there is no room to park a second vehicle side-by-side the lake was still drained could not use any boat launches again not enough info on the website
So beautiful 😍
Giant trees and bushes preserved between campsites for alot of privacy. Tons of spaces to choose from and several grey water dumps and spigots between campsites. The river is really cold, but if you're bold you can get to it near the boat launch.
The camp hosts are lovely and available if you need their help.
Definitely recommend!
