This is for short term camping for self contained vehicles... no services are offered. But there is a dump station and water available to dry campers who may also use the public restrooms and showers over by the office.

This is a nice, small, well maintained RV park near town. Foster Lake is just across the road and is beautiful with a decent trail along the lake. The road can get very noisy as it’s popular with motorcycles.
We stayed at what is now Cascadia County Park (per signage at the park) at the beginning of September. Monday and Tuesday night there were only a couple of other campers in the park. Needless to say it was very quiet.
Our first day we noticed a man without a shirt sitting, leaning against the bathroom exterior wall for a least an hour or so. Later that day we saw a couple who appeared to be homeless using the shower on the premises. Neither of these people caused any problems nor interacted with any camper as far as I could tell. Near the entrance at the picnic area there is a sign warning visitors to lock their cars.
This is a beautiful park, densely forested, bordered by the Santiam River. We stayed in one of the pull though sites, number 4. It was more private than most sites. We were happy to stay here to escape the smoke in Central Oregon were we live. We had reservations at Little Crater Campground, but choose not to stay there as the there were fires nearby and the area had an Evacuation Advisory - Level one and there is only one way out of the area.
Great place to be. Close enough to a lot of hiking trails, waterfalls and crater lake itself. Structure is good and the staff is super welcoming.
Great location and beautiful view. Great for families. Not the most quiet spot but the view makes up for it. Restrooms were under construction but they provided single vault toilets.
Ice cold McKenzie River water to watch & listen, lull you to sleep, with old growth forest & trails to walk/bike.
It's a few miles from Tamolitch, Clear Lake, Blue River Reservoir and a lot of trails.
This campground is quiet, has no electricity or showers (fine by me) and is just pristine. The fires didn't touch it, the river is beautiful and it's well-maintained.
Verizon & AT&T had 2 bars LTE - enough to text, call & upload photos.
This is our second time staying at Armitage. We usually only stay one night as we are passing through Eugene, but it's a fantastic campground and we would love to stay longer sometime. Site 30 was especially lovely. It is a full hook-up site surrounded by shrubs and trees. There is ample space between sites and we could not even see the site on our right. The pads are paved and pretty level, plenty long and wide for our 32ft 5th wheel and truck. Hopefully next time, we can stay longer and actually explore the park.
Bathrooms were close, also water between every two camp sites. Showers were pretty nice. The lake is absolutely amazing! Really was worth money. It also wasn’t to expensive at all.
Nice pull off dispersed place to camp. Some sketchy people around but availability to get away from people up the road
Really awesome facility. Every site is big-rig friendly and almost perfectly level. Minimum work getting setup. The river is just feet away. Dog friendly. We especially liked the trains that occasionally tooted and roared down the opposite side on the river canyon.
Gated off due to a recent fire
So, we followed a young family in a Jeep Cherokee pulling an audacious 12 foot camping trailer, circa 1972. Yes,it was52 years old. When we all arrived at the end of the 3 mile dirt road I was immediately attacked by mosquitoes. They were not after anyone else, so I was doing some good keeping the little monsters off of the others. We told the family that “skookum “ was the Indian name for Bigfoot, and that this was prime country for a sighting.
There was a marvelous little wooden bridge there. A hiking trail heading deep into the bush. Mostly set up for tent camping. A vault toilet. A big flat graveled parking area where perhaps a dozen RVs could set up.
It's really a beautiful area a nice place to stay people are awesome really pretty the got everything,
Clean showers, private, lots of trees, clean site, hiking, swimmable water (3 seconds was freezing but easily adjusted), inner tubing, agate hunting in the river, 9 miles away from Safeway. If you have Verizon, you will likely have WiFi Connect. AT&T had poor connection. Super beautiful site.
BLM land that has out house and water. Beautiful views from level camps parking. Need to book on line or be on the land line paying an extra $9 for booking fee.
Wonderfully quiet campground on Lake Odele. Great pathway with a short walk along the lake to the resort store and restaurant next door.
This campsite is the same as "Hi-Way Haven RV Park". Privicy fence/board between the sites.
Staff was friendly and helpfull. Easy to position the RV on the site. Full hook-up. Condition for your sewer connection is that it has to be on a support. (Available in the shop) Although the campground is not far from the I-5, the traffic noise is hardly heard.
This is a HUGE campground. Every site is gorgeous, lots of forest in between so you have privacy. All of the best spots along the river with a view are first come first serve.
It's not the same as Blue pool
We arrived and were shocked by the facility. Our site was in the center of this small park and we were surrounded by full time residents. No privacy and we felt like fish in a fish bowl. We left almost immediately and were fortunate to find an opening at Armitage. I would rather stay in a Walmart lot then this place.
Dry Camping
Upside - Right on the lake and lots of spots with shade which would be good for summer heat.
Downside - no alcohol permitted (loosely enforced it seems). And the restrooms and dump station are being rebuilt as of May 2024 and it will likely take a year or more. There are porta-potties. You are allowed to dump at the facility up the road for no cost.
Very nice grounds. One star off for highway noise. Looks like many longer term campers here - flower pots, table cloths, decorations, mostly 5th wheelers. Sites near the entrance get the morning sun, sites along the highway are loudest as you might expect. Facilities are excellent. Didn’t try WiFi here, ATT 5G works. Although noisy, the campers aren’t, it’s very quiet here. We would return.
Catherine Thagard is downright racist. She is claims policies that are not written. They threaten you, and are horifically aggressive. They bend their "rules" and policies dependent on "who" you are. Most importantly, they treat their employees horribly. Only stay here if you want to fund a racist, masaginistic company that willingly abuses their staff.
I really wanted to give this park 5 stars. It is beautiful and very well cared for. Bathrooms are super clean, but…… I had a lake site and the wind howled all weekend. It’s May so might play a roll. It’s dry camping so all the RV’s had generators and not the quiet Hondas. All promptly started at 6am. The site next to me had a baby that howled all night and the guy across from me kept turning his vehicle headlamps on well past midnight lighting up my tent trailer. Zero sleep the first night. Second night was better. If I stayed again, I’d take my hard sided trailer and generator. If you can’t beat em……
great swimming holes!
Ive been here throughout the year at different times for many years and experienced a lot of mosquitoes and interesting transient people. Bring spray and long sleeves. They are worse near the water but spray keeps them away. :) You will meet some good people and not so good. Most will drive in after dark waking you up in the middle of the night then leave before light without paying but the few that stay have a story. A few incidents experienced would be Domestic violence, (that was scary) cats let out of trailers to hunt all over the park where you wake up with dead mice all over your camp site. Car alarms that wont stop and people walking through sites when residence are not present. Women changing in the open completely naked. (Cool but I have young kids 😱) Feels safe during the day and is beautiful but at night keep your stuff locked up and be open minded 😂 Worth it if your a people person and love nature.
Small 9 site campground just off of OR-126, little bit of road noise during the day, not noticable to us at night. Camp is along Knowels Creek. Sites 7 & 8 are "premium" for an extra two dollars, you have a better view of the creek and can look down stream a ways.
We camped in a 26' travel trailer, worked well for us. Filled out water tank on sight at one for the water spots before parking. Host was nice, firewood was available
About 20 min from Florence, which is on the Oregon Coast. Better spot for fuel and groceries if needed. Cp is just outside of Mapleton, a cute little town.
About 15 mins away is the Sweet Creek Falls trail, a fairly easy out and back hike.
If you happen to be heading home through Eugene, don't forget the free dump at Eugene waste water treatment plant
