"Just outside of Sweet Home Oregon (by 6 miles). Nice facilities with toilets and showers, close to South Santiam river. Great place to come for the Oregon Jamboree."
"Lots of trees all around, good shade for those hot August days.
The bathrooms for the loop were a nice walk but not too far and they were cleaned 2x per day."
"This is a great weekend location with Sweet Home and Green Peter nearby. This is also a great “first park.”"
"This is a Linn County park located just a few miles southeast of Lebanon and northwest of Sweet Home off the Santiam Highway. "
"The sites are nice and have a great little gravel square behind the trailer spot with a picnic table and fire ring. It definitely gets crowded on nice weekends so be prepared."
"It is right on Foster Lake and not to far up the road is less crowded Green Peter lake. If you want to go boating go to Green Peter!"
$23 / night
"Bathrooms are located at the parking lot.
The yurt village is a ways from the RV/Tent sites. Not a quick or easy walk.
Parking at the yurt village is a little walk from #2 and #3."
"For trailer camping I would recommend loop A as it is newest and has 4 drive through spots. Overall, would definitely come back."
"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."
"The campsites here are not as private as some of Oregon’s other campgrounds. That being said, it is a well maintained site that won’t disappoint!"
"This is the best place on the lake to stay. The host/est are awesome. Showers clean and the park quiet. We loved our stay. Also check if they have extended stay still."
"Just steps away from Foster Lake. Edgewater is super clean, tidy, and has nice RV spots. Located just outside the cute little town of Sweet Home. Close to some great hikes, including McDowell Falls."
"They also do guided hikes check out recreation.gov Sweet Home nature and Heritage tours, Or"
"All areas are secluded, you can choose any place to camp at many options, no phone service but great area to fish and explore the forests, it’s a bit of a ways in but the drive is quite nice."
"Mallard Creek Golf and RV Resort is located about 3 miles from Waterloo (or 8 miles from Lebanon, Oregon and 11 miles from Sweet Home, Oregon)."
"Our GPS gave us good instructions to the adjacent golf course. There wasn’t any signage until we got to the golf course."
$22 - $63 / night
"If you want to camp in Oregon this is the place to go. There are several waterfalls and hiking trails. You can see wildlife and you can't beat the beauty. You can tent camp and they also have yurts."
"Probably the easiest accessibility to the most awesome waterfalls per few square miles in Oregon. Ample Parking and many different falls and trails to choose from"
LegendWe were in spot 16 right next to the river. The rushing water was very soothing and loud by the way but no problem for us. The camp host came to our site and greeted us. This is a beautiful Park under the trees and next to the river. Great little walking trails and scenery. Several ponds and Creeks are nearby. The town of Lyons is not even a quarter mile away with a couple small grocery markets. There's about 32 campsites including group sites. The park is wonderful with picnic tables campfire rings horseshoe pits showers which are free with your reservation.
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.
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!
LegendThis review is for the park itself and the cabins, as the campground area was closed for upgrades when we stayed there while we were there in November.
This is a beautiful park, it's huge, of course the main attraction are the many waterfalls and the hike that takes you through all the falls, and even behind several of them. Heads up that dogs are not allowed on this hike, and it's a fairly long hike, so plan what you need to for your dogs. There are other hikes that dogs are allowed on, however.
In the day use area: There's a big beautiful lodge with a nice roaring fire in the cold months. A nice gift shop and store. The day use area really is beautiful and so well maintained. There is a cool open large off leash dog area, it's not fenced so be sure your dog isn't a runner. For summer months there is a swimming area too.
Cabins are nice, new-ish, comfortable but basic. They have heaters and a big porch.
Showers and flush toilets are available here too. Ok cell reception throughout the park.
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.
ScoutHave been living here about a month in a travel trailer. Appreciate the amenities of small gym, hot tub, and showers. Excited for the outdoor pool to open. Staff is friendly and grounds are well maintained. There is areas for pets. We have our own wifi so can’t comment on that. Seems like a popular weekend spot for rvs and trailers.
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.
