About
National Forest
Willamette National Forest
Overview
Paradise Campground is indeed a paradise for campers. Tucked within a lush, old-growth forest of Douglas fir and western red cedar, the area portrays a sub-tropical vibe along the banks of the McKenzie River, where catch-and-release trout and steelhead fishing is a popular activity, along with whitewater rafting and kayaking.
Recreation
Rafters and kayakers live it up in the whitewater of the McKenzie River. A boat ramp is located on-site. The McKenzie River National Recreation Trail begins nearby, and is a favorite among hikers and mountain bikers.
Facilities
A number of sites face the river, while many others are tucked into the scenic forest. Flush toilets are dispersed throughout the campground and parking spurs are paved. Educational programs are provided at the amphitheater.
Natural Features
Paradise sits on a bend of the river at an elevation of 1,600 feet. Ferns and other moisture loving plants cover the ground, and mosses drape the trees. The campground is in the heart of Willamette National Forest, which spans 1.6 million acres on the western slopes of the Cascade Range.
Nearby Attractions
A golf course is located about 7 miles west of the campground.

A Picturesque Getaway with Room to Roam - Paradise of Oregon Campground Review
I recently had the pleasure of camping at Paradise of Oregon Campground, and I must say, it was a memorable experience. Site 49, where I stayed, offered a breathtaking view that truly lived up to its name. The vast expanse of nature's beauty unfolded before my eyes, making each moment spent there a true delight.
While the water access might not have been ideal, the sheer size of Site 49 more than made up for it. I had ample space to set up my camping gear and create a comfortable and cozy atmosphere. It's worth mentioning that there's a convenient public access point nestled between Site 19 and Site 17. This proximity proved to be a boon, especially since it led directly to the only flushing bathrooms in the vicinity. That alone was a welcome luxury in the midst of nature.
For those who enjoy cycling, Paradise of Oregon Campground offers fantastic biking opportunities. The vast grounds provide ample room to explore on two wheels, allowing you to immerse yourself in the wonders of the outdoors.
One of the most surprising aspects of my stay was the near absence of mosquitoes. Throughout the entire week, I encountered only a handful of these pesky insects. This made my outdoor adventures all the more enjoyable, as I could fully appreciate the tranquility of the surroundings without constant buzzing and bites.
In summary, Paradise of Oregon Campground is a true gem for nature lovers. While water access may be lacking, the magnificent view from Site 49 and the spaciousness of the site more than compensate for it. The convenient proximity to a public access point and the flushing bathrooms adds a touch of convenience to the rustic experience. And with minimal mosquito encounters, you can fully immerse yourself in the beauty of the campground. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable camping getaway in Oregon's paradise.
Truly Paradise
Great, big, private campsites, with many right on the McKenzie. We loved this campground. Right on the McKenzie River Trail too.
