Open sewer for an outhouse.

This campground is quite cute with large spaces for setting up camp, hammocks, and a cooking area while not feeling cramped or tight on space at all. On top of that, you will likely, around late July to early August, be sharing your site with hundreds of tiny baby frogs, which are absolutely adorable and will seek refuge in anything you leave on the ground (I mean it, I had a dozen in the bag my camp chair stows away into). The water running nearby is crystal clear, yet too brisk of a current to paddle board in. If you intend on paddling to the reservoir, beware of the toxic algae that may be present in the water, as it will make your dog or young children very sick. Now, for the negatives: there are thousands of the most blood thirsty mosquitos I have ever encountered. I'm typing this with 14 bites on my left leg, 13 on my right, and 8 more spaced out around my arms, sides, and even my face. Lemon Eucalyptus spray had a good effect during the heat of the day, but was rendered useless in the early morning and late evening, as the mosquitos occupy every inch of the air around you. I would recommend bringing a Thermacell if without a pet, which unfortunately we couldn't use as we had our dog with us, and soaking all camping equipment in Permethrin. Even with that, baggy clothing and mosquito nets will likely be required if you intend on spending lots of time outside at the campsite.Aside from the mosquitos, I spent the full three day stay listening to our neighbors generator, running even when they weren't at the campsite. They of course took the central campsite, ruining the silence for everyone. The camp host did not respond to any phone calls, so this issue persisted. We also had to call in a fire that was made by a reckless campsite, despite there being an explicit (two signs at the entrance stating such) no campfire rule. Bad decisions and mosquitos can ruin a good trip pretty fast, so just be advised you may encounter plenty of both.

Excellent experience— been coming here since 1953! 70 now and camped with my grandkids—- nothing much changed…. Campfire and s’mores!

100 degrees during our stay. Perched next to the Deschutes. Bring lots of repellant as mosquitos are really thick. Boat ramp is super shallow and only suitable for a kayak or maybe a drift boat. We usually visit later in Sept when crowds die down, water is lower and fewer (but still plenty) mosquitos. Campground was full. Remember there is no potable water so you must bring your own.

Great quiet spot for fishing and relaxing by the deschutes river. Awesome bird watching here too!
