QUALITY CAMPGROUND
Thank you PGE and their wonderful campground hosts for having a well-maintained clean campground for my family of four to use on our trip to recreate at Lake Billy Chinook in August 2023. The sites had established fire rings, a bench, and freshly raked tent spots. Very little trash was around and our particular site in the upper section had ample space for multiple tents. These pit toilets were the cleanest and best smelling I’ve ever encountered in my time camping as an adult.
You can reserve a boat slip to leave your watercraft for $10 a night and this may be the BEST reason to camp here.
Unfortunately, the water int the campground arm was very green with floating algae and not swimmable at all. We drove to Suttle Lake on the forest roads for Saturday so we could kayak and enjoy swimming with our dog in a beautiful cold clear lake.
Water pump at lower CG is MUCH easier to use than the upper CG pump pictured here.
PSA that NF 64 was gated and locked just passed Monty Campground so we could not drive up the Metolius as planned.
