- We could leave our kayaks on the shore and just hop right in and paddle if we wanted.
- Our dog loves to swim, so having"

GuideThis spot was actually an accidental find but worked out great because we were not able to turn around on the tight road we found ourselves on. It opened up tremendously and gave us great grounds to camp on for a few nights. Close enough to a river that requires hiking if you’re up for that kind of adventure. There was little to no traffic noise from the hwy and no other campers around for days. Clear starts for start gazing at night.
GuideWe actually pulled in this part of the forest wanting to park at the “hideaway” spot but someone was already posted up there. That would have been a really cute place to camp BUT we drove farther. I really don’t recommend this spot for bigger rigs but we were able to get ours back here (40 ft total) Kind of no turn around options and driving forward was all our only choice at that point…to be honest the drive made me nervous. It was a tight dirt road but once we found a spot it was cleared pretty good. Had plenty of room and someone was back here not too long ago…they had a little campfire setup with log stumps. Probably wouldn’t come back unless I had to but we did stay tucked away back here for a few days.
GuideWe needed a spot to stay for the night and after driving to a few others that were (reserve online only) closed we rolled the dice and headed towards this one. It was late and dark but we pulled in in hopes that they had some openings. THEY DID!! We didn’t do much driving around before pulling into a spot but I with we had. We pulled into #4, one of the first available and I DONT recommend any of the first few slots because they sit right next to the highway and that was annoying but our own fault. If I had to redo I’d stay in the 20’s or 30’s because they are closer in where it’s much quieter and those spots back up to a river…super cute! The restrooms were very clean and I’m a bit of a snob when it comes to public restrooms…it was good. All in all the park is very maintained, clean and the staff is great!! Would definitely stay again!
GuideGreat campground with nicely spaced and well maintained sites. Clean restrooms, laundry and pool on site. There is a small playground too. Close to Corvalis but you do get a lot of road noise. Would come back if passing through the area.
ScoutBeautiful stop for dispersed camping someone built benches road is not too rough for most cars but it feels very much like your in the middle of no where but only really about 5 miles off shoestring rd on blm rd lot's of space for big group with multiple cars
TravelerNice pond to camp near, several campsites to choose from and trails to explore
TravelerGood camp location, easy to find. Paved most of the way up.
ScoutLarge spaces, great staff, no WiFi but decent cell service.
ScoutAlmost every camping space has an electric outlet, water hookup and its own septic hookup if you an rv camper. Tent campers can use the hookups as well if you want to. Sites are clean and well managed and within walking distance to the river. Tho tent camping is aloud the host seems to dislike tent campers and talked to me like I was trash very disrespectful.
