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.
GuideWe lost cell service about an hour before we even got there, and didn’t have any the whole time there. There are some really cool spots that were taken. We ended up finding a decent spot. Would come again, but there’s no cell service at all so I’d plan accordingly.
RangerNeeded hookups for this trip and Holiday Farm had them. Though it’s a HOA, the lot owners rent out vacant lots and it’s a really nice location. Nice, small dog park. Nice people. Great hosts. Very pleasant stay.
GuideIt’s a cute campground with spots right in the water. They are fairly close together and TIGHT. I didn’t get to stay because there was a family party or something that reserved all the sites. Ended up at sunset cove which suited me better anyway.
