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.
