Metzler Park offered beautiful, shaded campsites along Clear Creek. My site was just above the creek and I fell asleep to its calming sound. There were huge playing fields in the sunshine, trails to explore with the kids and the creek has a swimming hole! The bathrooms and showers were clean and the shower had warm water and good pressure. Metzler is close enough to Estacada for conveniences-15 minute drive, but far enough for a quiet getaway! We loved it!

This campground really has nothing exceptional to brag on. The river isn't terribly safe to swim in and to put in any sort of flotation device you have to leave the campground and drive over to the other side of the river to pay a fee. If more than one person is using the device, they must also pay. The outhouse toilets are not well kept and smell awful. And the most frustrating thing is the nearby train tracks with trains running through a few times in the night, making for a bad night's sleep. I do not recommend!
