Secluded - worth the drive

While there were some harrowing moments getting to this campground with our 16' pull-behind toy hauler(last mile or so is dirt road with a couple of knarly soft sand areas that you have to plow through quickly or risk getting stuck), upon arrival the site was amazing. HUGE sites(we could have had 6 more people with us each in their own tent), right on the rushing whitewater of the Metolius. The river is loud.:) Clear, dusty sites. Little to no stargazing due to lots of tree cover. No host, no potable water. Situated right between the Metolius and Candle Creek (which is really a small river), so all sites are essentially waterfront.

Trail runs right through the campground, but we saw no one.  Good hike along the river.

Really great secluded campground- which is saying a lot for Central Oregon in the summer!
