We stopped here for a break in the drive and considered dropping anchor for the night. Unfortunately we got a creepy vibe when we were getting food at gas station on the other side of the river. Which by the way, has Amazing food cooked to order.

The reality is, it is probably a great place with great people. Our nerves were shot from an accident in a rental car and a unmotivated rv service dept in Boise the day before.

While we did not spend the night, we scoped it out pretty good. There are 4-5 parallel spots right on the river. It’s far enough from the highway that it is peaceful and quiet. Nice little beach on on side of campground. Few trees and lots of shrubs to define each site. Table and fire ring in each site. Toilets are available but didn’t see any showers. It’s got a very secluded feel to it, only a 1/4 mile up a dirt road from the highway and the small town of Rome, Oregon. It has a small dirt ramp to put in a small boat or kayaks. There is a rangers station just above the campsites, so I’d imagine it keeps the riff raff to a minimum at night. Think there is a campground on the north side of the highway too, but it was closed. Covid!!!!

A local told me there is good fishing in the the river and offered to take me, but with music from deliverance playing in the back of my head I graciously declined.

I think under different circumstances, we’d have given it a go and stayed the night. Maybe even have gone fishing with character from the other side of the river. Food was amazing at that gas station and they had a few electric hook up sites there, but that’s where I got my vibes.

Definitely a good place to stop and rest, and get some good grub.

Ohhhh, the ants are huge and plentiful
