Very pretty, close to river

Really nice loop with nice secluded sites, some more secluded than others. It’s very close to the Deschutes river and there is a small boat launch area as well. Lots of mosquitos as you’d expect from a heavily wooded area near a river, but overall it was really pretty and the river access was really nice. Easy dirt/gravel road entry.
