While the campsite and bathroom were clean and we appreciatd the remoteness of this location, there were other issues. The pictures don't depict the Metolius River correctly. This section of the river are rapids, dangerous for children and extremely loud. It's been 3 days since we left and our ears are still ringing. You're unable to have a conversation without yelling because the river is so loud not to mention trying to sleep. The description of the road is incorrect, too. We were able to drive our Prius on the road without any issues. Also, the written directions don't align with the map on the website.

we couldn't even find the campground. It was this awful road that our truck barely made it off of and we couldn't find it on our gps . Gps led us to a gate that said road closed. So, we ended up having to pay to stay at another campground. Pretty bummed.

Wonderful quiet spot. I went midweek in 100+ degrees so maybe quieter than normal. The shaded site was perfect. Huge sites all around!

I backpacked here from canyon creek and camped alone. The site was large and spacious and well maintained. Boundaries between sites are not well marked but that wasnt an issue just something of note. Personally would have picked sites 3 or 4 if I had known that site 1 had minimal river veiws and access. I do not regret calping here though. Facilities were well maintained and trail access was good. Really solid camping area that I intend to bring friends along to next time.

Most of the sites have very short pull-ins. Suitable for my 15 foot trail, but not big enough to park my pick-up in front of it. All of the sites are on either the Metolius or Candle Creek.
Notice Board should include reference to Warm Springs Tribal lands just downstream less than 1/4 mile. Hikers should not trespass below Jefferson Creek confluence with Metolius River.

Barriers have been installed to keep vehicles on the road and away from the site (ie picnic table, fire ring). This is very inhospitable to van camping. We didn't even stay - just forfeited our payment
