"Easy to find from I-5 and very close to Costco. Quiet location away from the road noise and has nice walking path along the McKenzie River."

"We stayed at Black Canyon Campground for one night en route to Crater Lake. "

"About 30 min away from groceries and stores. Came in late to this campround. No reservation needed. Lucky they had a couple of tent sites open. We ended up staying an extra day."

- 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"

GuideWe were at site 15 which was all the way at the end and was nicely secluded from the rest of the sites. We had direct access to the lake, but it looks like if the lake was low it would be a climb to get down to the water. No electricity or water so bring all that. Enough parking for 2-3 vehicles and a couple of tents or an RV. We had amazing views!
GuideStayed here in Sept 2022. Awesome Campsite overlooking the south end of the lake. It was a steep trek down to the lake, especially toting Kayaks, but worth it.
The morning kayak was on an absolutely flat glass lake. The lake is super clean, but a frigid 38 (they tell me) degrees. Swimming is not permitted for this reason.
There is a petrified forest under the water from the way the lake was formed by a volcanic eruption. Quite a trail thru the lava field (Not for bikes, we say - but some do). We ended up pushing and carrying the bikes a bit.
Sweet and peaceful campsite.
GuideWe spent several nights in Aug 2022. Weather was war, the Kayaking on the Lake and Marshes was very fun. Hosner Lake is super clear. There was however NO drinking water in the campground. We had to go to a nearby campground to fill our water containers.
GuideAbsolutely a beautiful spot tucked away! Off the main road with a few dispersed spots spaced out very nicely. Not the easiest access to the river but if able easy enough. Spots are large and the stars are amazing!
TravelerI went during my spring break and I was lucky that it was too cold for most people to camp there. It was beautiful and quiet (other than the 9pm daily goose choir). The pond was great for kayaking and there is plenty to explore if you aren’t worried about a little elevation in your hike.
ScoutBeautiful forest camp near a lake.
LegendStopped in for a night and ended up spending 4 nights here. Cute little RV park very close to town. You can walk or bike into town for food.
This is the first RV park I've ever stayed in where the Wifi was actually decent. Was a little under the weather, so watched some march madness in my RV on the park Wifi.
the sites are not very private, but it's right on the river with great views. A colony of feral cats lives near the railroad bridge. The hosts were great. Even invited me out to a show with them.
Showers were good. I've stayed here twice on trips up to Portland.
ScoutWe arrived late on a Monday - our site was reserved with our names. We had to take our 5th wheel in for unexpected service. The staff was very accommodating and booked us for another night without an issue. We would stay here again.
TravelerThe marker on the map is where the information kiosk is. If you follow the road to the right of the reservoir there are some developed campsites/boat launches with a fee (and composting toilets). Keep driving. This area is freshly burned, but there are still very treed dispersed sites past the more developed ones. Pass the sign for Mona campground but before the bridge and signs that warn about falling rocks. On the left side there are five dispersed sites along the river. There is a small marker "180" at the entry to the turnoff. Beautiful and quiet. Minimal trash that we cleaned up, steep routes to the river. We were there early March, no snow.
