Beautiful USFS campground

This campground is $27-$30/night, and is really nice and peaceful as are all the other USFS campgrounds along this road. A little pricey for what you get, but the location is amazing, the river is beautiful.

Almost no cell reception here. ATT seemed to have some, but Verizon didn't. Pit toilets and dumpsters here, RVs ok, no water. Great river access, and the roads coming in are nice and smooth and freshly paved.  Some pull through sites available. Heavy tree coverage in this area, but some open spots that might work for some solar or starlink.

Large Campsites

We were able to get one night here last minute as it is usually reserved. Sites are drive through and quite large. River runs along one side of campground. Beautiful area!

Great!

Wonderful, peaceful spot. Not far from amenities, but remote enough. Spots are nicely spaced out.

Beautiful river - great fishing - not so great mosquitoes...

A lot of the campsites are right on the Metolius River, which is a great spot for fly-fishing. The views are amazing. There have been logs submerged in the river to assist with fish habitats, which can cause some nasty accidents if you’re rafting or canoeing down the river. There is also usually a fire ban due to a lot of past wildfires, so you can’t use the fire pit in your campsite. The Camp Sherman General Store is about 2 miles down the road from the front entrance. It’s worth paying a visit, because they have donuts. And other stuff. But mainly donuts. Around the beginning of summer, the mosquitoes start coming out, and thy are unbearable. Bring lots of bug spray, or maybe bathe in it. You’re gonna need it.
