Decent campground, not a ton of tree cover between sites but decent amount of distance so that was nice. Sites are pretty good size with ample parking. Flush toilets and cold running water in the bathroom. Only complaint was the camp host wasnt around most of the time the 3 nights we were there. Bathroom ran out of soap on day 1, toilet paper on day 2. Otherwise a good spot!

Quiet, shaded, space between your neighbors, available water (via a pump), great accommodating camp host.

This is a nice quiet campground. Well maintained, and a very nice Camp Host.

The camp host was a helpful, pleasant, and knowledgeable fellow who was quick to offer help if needed. The US Forest Service patrol was informative and polite while ensuring fire safety. The campground conditions were excellent, as they always have been in my experience. The only qualification is the Southern pit toilet was near to capacity. I spoke with the camp host who said the contractor had been notified, but was waiting for the pit to fill a bit further. Sooner is better (albeit not less expensive) when it comes to evacuating the pit toilets, in my opinion. Thank you for the fine stewardship of our public assets.

Lane was the best camp host weve ever had! Very accommodating and friendly. Hope we see him again next year.

Best camp host that I have ever dealt with. A+++

Pit toilets at Cold Springs were in bad shape - need to be serviced. No dump station at CS. Camp host did not know where a local dump station is. Parking spaces are shallow from the road - blocked with logs and rocks. Visit / hike Smith Rock a must do.

This is a beautiful forest campground about 5 miles from from the town of Sisters, Oregon. We had a pull through site (Loop 2 Site 1) which was a bit tricky to maneuver into. There were various tree stumps and posts marking the site. Its dry camping but they have potable water spigots. The trees are amazing and the campsite was quiet and peaceful. We didnt get much Solar charge so had to use the truck off to charge up.

The camp host had a dog that was not friendly. The bathrooms were very unsanitary and in poor condition. The bathrooms are in major need of repair.

Lovely campground. It was one of the few sites that had last-minute availability for the 4th of July, so we werent sure what to expect, but it was fantastic. Quiet, clean, and a perfect loop to walk with our 16-month old daughter. Wed stay here again if passing through.

What a great campsite. Wonderful views of the woods, quiet. Large sites with room for multiple tents. A short and scenic trip from Bend and right next to Sisters. The camp host, Kristen, was super friendly and helpful.

We quiet and peaceful place! We like it very much! Old waterpump! Basic and simple everything but a very good atmosphere!
@DanielF1136472 · Camped on Jun 28, 2024 at Campsite #3
Overall this is a nice little campground with beautiful Aspen trees. It is next to the main road so the cars were loud. No mosquitoes though!
@AnnaFE3E96DB76 · Camped on May 24, 2024 at Campsite #21
19 and 21 are the. best sites. They back up to an open area with trails leading to the cave. Wonderful camp host. Quiet campground with lots of young families. The water pumps out slightly yellow. Bring lots of water to drink. Pump water should be fine for dishes.
@JacquelinA5869 · Camped on Oct 9, 2023 at Campsite #14
Nice campground. Great time of year as only a few others were there! Would definitely go back again. Clean, spacious camp sites.
@ChristyH1BAB34 · Camped on Sep 13, 2023 at Campsite #16
Bring chipmunk food, or they will eat yours. Always a nice camp out when we stay. Quiet during the week, lots of shade. Have seen wild turkeys on one trip here. Good cell service and Wi-Fi with Verizon. Have been here four separate times now.

Sadly could not actually stay because of the Bedrock Fire starting a few days before. We didn't know about the fire and the intense smoke until we were about an hour out heading south. I wish Recreation dot Gov had a system in place to alert folks with reservations when hazardous situations like such happen. Surely an automated system would be easy to implement if linked up to the NWS or INCIweb. Hope to stay there eventually, it looked nice.
@KristenW516199 · Camped on Jul 23, 2023 at Campsite #17
I absolutely loved this campground. The sites are big, the trees are awesome, the creek and water pump - adorable. The only thing not so great is the latrines - they could definitely use an upgrade.

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.

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!!!
