Beautiful park

I really wanted to give this park 5 stars. It is beautiful and very well cared for. Bathrooms are super clean, but…… I had a lake site and the wind howled all weekend. It’s May so might play a roll. It’s dry camping so all the RV’s had generators and not the quiet Hondas. All promptly started at 6am. The site next to me had a baby that howled all night and the guy across from me kept turning his vehicle headlamps on well past midnight lighting up my tent trailer. Zero sleep the first night. Second night was better. If I stayed again, I’d take my hard sided trailer and generator. If you can’t beat em……

Never again

This place has an incredibly rude employee that made our camping trip very uncomfortable. They were rude and we saw this person argue with 3 other campers about trivial things such as 3 cars (all with parking passes) being parked on 1 site (and they all fit! They banged loudly on the person next to us doors at 10:05 about their generator being on. The campsite itself it well maintained, but if you are going to let loose and enjoy yourself. This is not the place.

Crowded, not private, overused

I wouldn’t really recommend this campground. Drive slightly farther and stay in a more private better campground.

Pros: Close to Eugene Waterfront sites Nice facilities and bathrooms

Cons: Very little room between spots Not very woodsy Feels like RV park SO MANY barking dogs
Lots of other people around Nice fire pits and tables at each site Farm across the street has 05:30 am rooster Busy road a few feet from edge of campground.

If you’re looking for a nice private get away don’t stay here. If you want to feel like you’re in the woods don’t stay here. If you want peace and quiet don’t stay here. If you like staying at an RV park style sight. Stay here.

Decent site

The road into the campground was narrow and winding. The swimming area was closed due to low water level, but there were other spots to access the lake. No alcohol allowed. The turn around would be difficult for larger trailers.

Fun lake camping

Fun lake camping with shaded campsites that are cool in the summer. You can rent lake boats, paddle boards and other swim type toys and their facilities include summer type treats as well. Campsites are near the lake and great for larger parties or private events.

Outside of Cottage Grove

This is a nice enough campground. Our camping spot had a direct path to the water but unfortunately, due to algae levels, we couldn’t go in. There is a small play structure for kids and tons of bats to watch at night. No alcohol as the campground is run by the Army Corp of Engineers.

Great Primitive Spots

This campground is run by the Army Core of Engineers, so if you have the Federal Access Pass enjoy half off your stay :)

Several campsites right along the lake. The playground is nice and right next to the beach. However before getting in the water, look for signs for swimmers itch or blue/green algae :( Restrooms with showers were pretty clean.

The campsites are pretty spacious which is really nice!

Overall a nice place to camp with views if you don't mind not getting into the water.
