Great place

Beautiful. About 30 min away from groceries and stores. Came in late to this campround. No reservation needed. Lucky they had a couple of tent sites open. We ended up staying an extra day. About $21 for a night with a car. Extra vehicle extra $7.

Decent Choice for a Family to Camp/Swim

Came here with family and friends, and we were all able to fit into one spot! We had two tents and a travel trailer between us. Plenty of room and its a great setting. There's a dock and swimming area, as you can imagine it was packed with kids. We chose to go down the road and explore other watering holes. Nice that Cascara is close to so much to explore.  Found a place to dip into the water, to shoot, and exploring the forest roads was a fun afternoon in general. Lots of places to pull off to chill out.

Sites are decently taken care of, pretty basic setup. Not much privacy at all between spots, though there were a couple larger ones on the edge of the loop that were tucked in away from others. The vault toilets on a busy weekend are a nightmare. If there's one group that's loud, the whole camp will be victim to their conversations all night, sound carries.

Great Verizon service, and bathrooms

About 40+ spots, fire ring and picnic tables in each. Clean bathrooms. Fee is $19/night (Park Rangers check). It was empty when I went. No problems finding spots.

First come-first served

Decent spot to get away from Eugene for a night. We went on a weekday in June and had no issue getting a nice campsite. Not a lot of privacy, and the dock/swimming area can be kind of noisy and crowded. Love these little-known, little trafficked forest service campgrounds.

Vault toilets only.

Miss being able to swim here!

This used to be one of my favorite spots, and it's still a great little campground, but you used to be able to jump off the dock right into the reservoir, and now the level is kept so low that much of the recreation is no longer accessible. I do appreciate that they have group sites available!

Campground

Nice campground and great swimming, but there is no drinking water and very little parking. If you have more than 2 vehicles you have to park outside the camp ground and walk back in...I had to park a mile away, and this was after paying the $7 parking fee
