This was one of the most beautiful campgrounds I’ve visited. My site was quite secluded, I could only occasionally see people walking along the camp road. Vault toilets were kept clean and a well water pump was available for clean drinking water.

The best part was the South Santiam River running along the campground, providing a relaxing ambiance. A 2-mile trail loop will take you from the canpgeiund to House Rock Falls, then up along historic Santiam Wagon Road Trail. The water is crystal clear and nice to wade in, but when I was there it was really cold. I’m excited to return to explore the area again.
