Great Location Large Campsites

Our camper would not fit in our reserved site #9. It stuck out into the road. We couldn't find the camp host, so left to go home to Yamhill. We had to lose our $40.

Loved the campground- although many campers had generators which ran much of the day.
@WILLIAMM503355 · Camped on Sep 14, 2025 at Campsite #4
Just enjoy peace and quiet of location

Enjoyed my stay, but I was limited with a bad knee. Look forward to going back when I can Fish.

Campground was easy to find, very clean, easy to pull into sites, along a great fly fishing river. What more could you want?
@EdwardC8595351 · Camped on Sep 5, 2025 at Campsite #7
It is a nice place to camp. The river is beautiful. Quite cold and fast so I wouldn't plan on swimming. And it has a lot of downed trees in the water. There was a lot of evidence that many of them had been dropped by Beaver, thou we saw none during our stay.The camp sites mostly have plenty of space. It is near a road that is not highly traveled and caused no noise problems for us.

Fall river is the main attraction of this campground. Fly Fishing only. Nice hikes along the river. Site 10 snd 11 are pull though to the left, so you have to enter the loop clockwise to situate your door toward the campsite if you have a camper. Even though of the sites are closer to the road there is very little traffic on the road after dark.

Beautiful location. Gorgeous river. Clean campground. Lots of bugs though. Put toilet by entrance needs a remodel
@AhmedE1183791 · Camped on Jun 17, 2025 at Campsite #4
It's a really beautiful area. However, when I arrived I found a couple camped in my reserved spot. They said that they arrived that morning and that there were no reserved signs so they took the spot. It was very frustrating because I arrived later in the afternoon pretty tired, and had to wait almost an hour for the couple to leave my spot. They were frustrated too because there was no sign indicating that the spot was reserved.

Nice campground, not overly crowded.

Nice and clean,

Fall River is one of our favorite spots to fly fish. Its so clear and especially fun to throw a dry fly and get these big trout to rise! The campground is always clean and quiet and located right on the river. From there its a short walk up to the headwaters, where the river bubbles right out of the ground. The hatchery is nearby as well and is worth a visit to see the operations and to fly fish!

I selected this site without ever having seen it, though I had visited the day use area here before. On the campground map it appeared to have decent distance from other sites and was backed up by the river. However it has ZERO separation from site #7. I pitched my tent on the only level area and it was like 15 feet from site 7's table. Fortunately the campground was relatively empty and I decided to just pay for site 7 as well in order to avoid having a "neighbor" that close. Sites 7 and 8 should really be a single site, maybe for a group. Sites 4, 5, and 6 all have better separation, though 4 and 5 are close to the outhouse. Also, the Forest Service desperately needs to fix the road at this campground, especially the huge drop off the pavement at the entry. For the rest, it's a beautiful place and I might stay here again (though not in site 8), probably again midweek in order to avoid too many neighbors. Yellow jackets were very annoying through much of the day and even at dusk. Toilet is well maintained, but the metal seat is kind of a drag. The host is not very visible but seemed to come through every morning and clean the outhouse.

Always enjoyed camping here
@michaelk687828 · Camped on Sep 3, 2023 at Campsite #4
Great location, large sites and very clean. Was quiet our entire stay. No running water so come prepared.
@SovitjPD632903 · Camped on Jul 7, 2023 at Campsite #9
Very nice close to the river
@EvanJ0D2E2E210 · Camped on Jul 6, 2023 at Campsite #4
This is an older Forest Service campground that is in need of some attention. The location is great, but it sorely needs gravel and road repair.
@SovitjPD632903 · Camped on Jun 15, 2023 at Campsite #8
Great camping ground! Beautiful river!
@DebbieH2027684 · Camped on Oct 7, 2022 at Campsite #4
Campground was typical, fire pits include grates.
@RobertJ5338880 · Camped on Oct 3, 2022 at Campsite #6
The campground road needs serious work. The host is non existent and this is from our visit in June and again in Sept. he lights off his generator at 7:00am and leaves, returning at noon or so. Did not see him once in our 4 days this year. He leaves his dog to bark all day in his trailer. Avoid 6 unless you want to listen to his dog and gen set. Great location, great fishing, great guests, filthy toilets and no host presence actually breaking campground rules.
@KristieM403229 · Camped on Sep 16, 2022 at Campsite #7
It took a lot to get even closer to level in #7
@MikalaS3924253 · Camped on Aug 21, 2022 at Campsite #6
This is a very dirty campsite and I don’t mean dusty. Yes, it’s extremely dusty even for central Oregon but it’s also littered with trash. The dumpster is literally across from the camp host yet not even the host seems to care at all to clean it up. Not to mention the camp host was basically unavailable the entire time we camped and we actually had an important question upon our arrival. It’s clear the host takes zero pride in his or her role there. Also the restrooms were disgusting. I would never ever stay here again and regret paying $22 to stay to begin with. River is gorgeous but this campground is the pitts.
@KimberlyM76848 · Camped on Aug 14, 2022 at Campsite #11
Beautiful site right on the river. You could see trees that the beavers had cut down or had started to work on which was super cool. The stars were so bright and it was a reasonable 20 minutes from downtown Sunriver and 7 minutes from the fish hatchery which was fun to go drink morning hot chocolate at and feed the fish.
@AnnaH8078719 · Camped on Aug 11, 2022 at Campsite #4
Beautifully campground on the river. Lots of fly-fishers, so must be cautious of flying hooks.
I was in the campsite next to the toilet and occasionally could smell it. I still enjoyed everything and will definitely be back.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
