Like a dream! Cold Aqua water, amazing sites

If you want to have epic pristine cool dips in the summer and waterfalls around- access to a great English style brew pub down the road in town, and always helpful camp host- snag one of these first come first serve sites. Well worth it. No water here but clean pit toilets.

Gorgeous river-adjacent hidden gem

Awesome spot right on the river. Water was flowing and chilly but not painful in late July. There are a couple of good spots to jump off some rocks into the pools. Supposedly fishing is really good. Trees are tall and shady.

Lots of great trails for biking/hiking nearby.

The sites themselves are par for the course: table + fire ring. Enough space for 1-2 tents. Sites are a little close together / exposed to each other. It's fine if your neighbors are mellow but would be rough if you had rowdy folks adjacent.

It's a small couple of loops that tend to fill up fast. Plan on arriving mid-week in peak season to get the best spots. Keep in mind that if you're on the river side, people will be walking through/by your sites a lot.

Idyllic creekside campground

I stayed one night at Salmon Creek Falls in April, 2013 and was stoked on how sweet-sounding the falls were from the campsite we snagged. It was early in the season, so there was only one other family there. There are a few excellent spots on the creek side of the campground with decent access to the water. Plus, the drive from Eugene is a beautiful one. I can imagine this first-come campground fills up quick in the summer, but at least for early or late season it's and awesome place for a quick jaunt out of town with a nice level of seclusion.
