TravelerReally cute & quiet
Only stayed a night! Spots are easy to find and it’s a super quiet campground. Only downside is some spots are right next to the road. Really nice and clean spot!!

RangerQuiet campground, but watch for Algae
One option when looking for a campground last minute during the summer close to Eugene, Oregon. This one is not usually very busy during peak season in my opinion.
This is a primitive campground so no hook ups for your rv. Bring the generator if your needing a power source during the day.

LegendGreat fishing near park
This campground has a ton of space for group camping and some gteat spots along the river. It’s close to several great fishing holes and beautiful covered bridges. During the summer, the Army Corp of Engineer Rangers give a tour of the Dorena Dam every Saturday. I highly recommend going if you can!
