Great site near Terwilliger Hotsprings and Blue Pool, Super Friendly Hosts

There is no potable water at this site but there is a well pump at the nearby sister site French Pete. That’s also the home site of the friendly hosts Thom and Amy.

Bathrooms here are hard-to-breathe smelly but are physically clean.

Nice proximity to the river and sounds nice at night. Surprisingly few mosquitoes.

All the sites are pretty nice. Loved being enveloped by all the trees.

No cell service (ATT/Verizon).

Quick drive to Terwilliger Hot Springs.

Secluded riverside hideaway

This campground in the Willamette National Forest is like a fairy wonderland, especially if you snag one of the secluded spots toward the cul-de-sac at the end. The river is nearby; some campsites are even closer. It's pretty rocky, but nice to put your feet in after a long hot hike. The bathroom is well kept and firewood is available from the camp host at one of the other campsites he oversees in the area. It's a short drive to multiple beautiful trailheads, including some that take you into the Three Sister Wilderness. It's also a short drive over to Cougar Hot Springs. ($7 a day)
