Like the other campgrounds on the Metolius, Allen Springs is located amongst towering Ponderosa Pines, on a turn of the Metolius River that broadens the river view. Most of the campsites are better suited to tents rather than RV's.
Recreation
This campground offers many opportunities for hiking and biking with the many trails nearby. The ponderosa pine forest provides shade as well as the chance to go bird or nature watching.

Loved this spot!
Beautiful, peaceful campground open year round on the Metolius River, about 15 mins. from Camp Sherman store. Only a few sites are large enough for smaller trailers/RVs (7,11,12,9 &13). It’s mostly tent spots. No Verizon service but a 5 min drive back up the road to the view point gave me 2 bars to check in with family. Hiking trails start along the river from the campground. For a day hike I drove 40 mins from camp to Black Butte trailhead and hiked to the top. Amazing hike with epic views of the Cascade mountain range, although the trail was still pretty icy/snowy(bring yaks). I also drove to the Head of Metolius for a short stroll down to the river on the paved path. The camp ground water hadn’t been turned on yet and the vault toilets were well maintained. Fee was $19 per night.

Excellent visit
Beautiful quick visit to Metolious River. CG was empty and walking trails along river shared with fisher people. Early season CG water not available. Vault toilets open and maintained.
Lovley!
Clean and quiet. Many sites along the beautiful Metolius River. A few incredible tent sites with lots of privacy. There’s no water, but campsites with water are nearby.
