Camp Sherman Campground

Adorable camping spot. The river was beautiful and the camping is right by the water. There was a walking trail to a little nearby convenience store. 

The spots don’t offer really any privacy between you and your neighbors - you’re all very close together. The bathrooms smelled horrible. Kinda pricy

The campground is very small and all of the campsites are very close together. So close that the site number 7 that I am in almost shares the site with site 8. If you camp here you should bring several tarps to block out your neighbors.

I had a great time here. Most everyone was friendly… there was a generator running all day… but it was a pretty quiet one. Pick a site along the river if possible. 

Great camp ground! Love the sound of the Metolius river

Camp Sherman, named for the Sherman County residents that built this mountain retreat in the late 19th century, continues to offer a riparian pine forest getaway with a bygone era feel to it. The sites themselves are fairly Spartan, but the nearby camp store and post office provide sundries, a deli, some contact with the outside world and WiFi, coin op laundry, and showers. Sites are near the water... but many are also near the roadway. This is a heavily visited area in the summer, and reservations can go quickly. Season May-September updated to reflect water availability, which is shut off on closures to avoid freezing pipes. Fly fishing anglers wanting to try for rainbow trout, whitefish, bull trout and kokanee salmon should check online for licenses prior to arrival, as the store no longer sells these and online services are hit and miss. Hikers have a mix of riparian and subalpine forest trails to checkout the heavy influence of the Cascade Volcanic Arc. The Metolius itself rises from Springs at the foot of Black Butte, traveling North and East to join the Deschutes. Horseback riders can take advantage of the Metolius-Windigo trail, which winds 100 miles from the Mt. Jefferson Wilderness to Windigo pass near Crescent Lake, roughly paralleling the PCT, which is 12 miles west of here.

This CG is one of our favorites. There are only a few sites and only a couple that have privacy the location is great. It sits right on the Metolius River and is idyllic scenery.

vault toilet only, no WiFi or cell service. Trail follows the river, CG host maintains the sites well. 12 mins off the main Hwy 22, 20 min drive to hiking near 3 Fingered Jack, 10 min drive to hike Black Butte. Natural springs close by, store close, gas 12 miles.

There are 15 campsites, and they’re all easily within 100 feet of the Metolius River- which is a world renowned spot for fly-fishing. Metolius River Trails runs on either side of the river for at least 6 miles, which makes for some beautiful views. The Camp Sherman General Store is about a quarter-mile down the road. Fire rules in the area are pretty strict, so throughout most of the summer campfires are out of the question. Some of the campsites are pretty loud because they’re right next to the highway. Near the beginning of the summer, the mosquitoes are unbearable, especially right after the sun goes down. Remember to bring lots of bug spray. The campsites are big enough for RV’s, but it’s dry camping(there are no electrical or water hookups).

Pretty, and very well taken care of campground. Had a little restaurant, and you can also rent boats to fish!

We found this spot coming the back way from Lake Billy Chinook. It is a nice camping spot. We just had our tent and it was perfect! We could hear the wildlife hustle and bustle as we were tucked away in our tent. We will definitely make this a regular spot for us! And next time we will bring our fishing poles!!

Right next to hatchery, so you can see every step of a fish! Baby until they take them to stock other ponds/reservoirs etc. So interesting for.kids to show them each growing stage for the fish!!

Fairly open grassy sites. Very stinky vault toilets. Great river walk. Many nearby attractions. Camp Sherman store .8 Miles from campground. Good all around campstore and deli. River is fly fishing only.

Beautiful weather! Great trails for hiking along the river banks. Nice and quiet. Campsites are spread out and quite large. We had a site on the river's edge with easy access to the trails and a short walk to the Camp Sherman store where we shopped for souvenirs. It was great to go back and visit where I had spent so much time camping as a child!

The Metolius itself is beautiful. At this viewing Bridge by the Hatchery, you can see very small baby fish all the way up to full size before they stock the lakes with them.
