Sacandaga Campground sits within Willamette National Forest along the Middle Fork of the Willamette River, accessible by unpaved gravel road. The 17 sites are flat and back-in only, with a 25-foot RV length limit. One hand pump at the east end of the camp provides drinking water. No cell service is available for any carrier. The terrain drops steeply to the river, so swimming is not accessible from camp, though anglers can fish for rainbow and brook trout along the Middle Fork trail. Bear and cougar sightings have been reported. The camp closes in mid-October. Indigo Springs Campground is a few miles east for campers wanting a comparison before committing to a site.
Description
Overview
This location has seven reservable sites and the rest are available on a first-come, first-served basis only. Sites must be reserved online five days before the start of the reservation. Any sites that have not been reserved can be used as first-come, first-serve, but users must be prepared to move sites within the campground if a reservation holder arrives and to claim the site. Visitors are required to physically arrive at the campground to purchase and claim a first-come, first-serve site. Once on-site, you may be able to pay for your campsite(s) using cash or by scanning a QR code using the Recreation.gov mobile app, and the Scan and Pay feature. If this option is available, you will need to first download the free Recreation.gov mobile app https://www.recreation.gov/mobile-app prior to your arrival as some remote areas have limited or no cellular service.
