# 12 is great.  #11 is pretty good. There are several that are great to group together for a few families or group.  Gateway to many hikes -short drive on scenic hwy.  and lakes.  Cheap and reservable.  

Lovely, cozy campgroud

Limberlost campground is a smaller campground with about 12 sites set on a McKenzie river feeder stream. Some of the spots are right on the river so you can fish right from your firepit. Others are right on the hwy 242 side, but since this is not a super busy hwy, the noise doesn't get too bad. The hwy is a popular ride for long distance road bikers so be prepared when driving to the close by hikes, and if you are going up to the pass. If you do head all the way up you will passby a short 2 or so mile hike to Proxy falls. There is a parking fee, but well worth it for the two beautiful falls and the walk through the lava beds. Keep going up and you will find "Dee wright Observatory" and spectacular views of the central Oregon cascades. This is an Oregon must see for out of towners and LImberlost provides a nice jumping off point to see them. If you decide to wander east up hwy 126 instead, you will find Tamolich Blue Pool falls trail,Sahalie and Koosah falls trail, and you can take a dip at Belknap hot springs when your done hiking.

Limberlost campground is kind of primitive, offering only one pair of gender specific pit toilets, that were decently clean, and trash service. No power, wood sales, water, showers or water disposal of any kind. They do have standard fire pits and tables at the sites. Each spot is quite unique and offer a decent amount of privacy and aren't right on top of each other.

You can reserve spots online or by phone, but they do also accept walk ups. I imagine this place fills quickly in the summer with bicyclists on their way down from over the pass from Sisters, Or. Lots to do around the campground, but also a great place to just sit and relax and listen to the small river flow by.

Stop off on the way up old McKenzie hwy

Limberlost is a great alternative if you can’t get into Paradise Campground. Limberlost is small but clean having all the basics you need. No cell service with Verizon and this campground is super close to Proxy Falls trailhead that has a beautiful waterfall.
