The Metolius River is absolutely pristine, great shade, beautiful wild flower's and a bunny visited us every morning. We 100% will return.

@Stephanie43603 · Camped on Jul 7, 2025 at Campsite #3
The river is gorgeous, the campsites clean. People were respectful about keeping dogs on leash.I hope to go back next year!

Great spot on the Metolius. Campsite was lush and private.

I was pleasantly surprised by how quiet and peaceful this CG was. But the real surprise was the available water. Everything I read online said there was no potable water available but instead of having to rely on my 3 gal water container, I had fresh water.

peaceful and delightful!
@JulieD9746693 · Camped on Jun 12, 2025 at Campsite #8
Campground was perfect. Clean and quiet. Toilets were kept clean and didn't smell bad-thank you!
@TonyM2707929 · Camped on Jun 6, 2025 at Campsite #8
Quiet campsite #8. The tent only sites could use a little more screening from each other. We pulled out early due to the crying babies in the middle of the night next door and the joggers running through our campsite during the day and evening.
@ErvinA839575A8 · Camped on Jun 5, 2025 at Campsite #13
Nice and quiet. Wish it had better views of river.

#14 was a great site, close to river, away from road, quiet, clean toilet.
@EileenM561642D · Camped on Jul 21, 2024 at Campsite #17
Peaceful, quiet, small campground.
@BriceW577BA63E · Camped on Jun 23, 2024 at Campsite #16
We loved it here. A little off the beaten path but thats part of what makes it special. The fish hatchery just down the road was a hit for our kids!
@SophiaTC4CBB20 · Camped on Jun 23, 2024 at Campsite #13
A Lovely small campground.

Our first time to Bull Prairie and it was an amazing one. This camp ground is for a quiet, peaceful camping experience. If you want to party and play loud music (like the only 1 star review) go somewhere else!Non motorized crafts allowed on the lake. People did swim, but the water is a bit murky and cold. No showers or garbage service. Pack it in, pack it out. There is a lot of nature. Which includes bees and mosquitoes. It is a lake afterall, so it's to be expected. Bring the Off and some candles and it's fine. Pictures are mostly of Site 27, which is right on the water. There is a 1.25mile paved walking path around the lake. There is potable water and firewood is available. The OHV is nearby which you can hear at times during the day.That's about it. Great place and great camp hosts. Jody and Heather are amazing. They really care about what they are doing. If you have a bad experience with them, it's probably not them.......

Our favorite place to camp & fish. Camp host was very friendly & seems to keep an eye on whats going on in the campground. Nice & quiet,
@JosephO8255201 · Camped on Sep 14, 2023 at Campsite #2
Great little spot, small walk to the river. Great times and views.
@EricKDAE7AA581 · Camped on Aug 6, 2023 at Campsite #10
Beautiful large campsites close to the Metolius River. Very clean. Decent amount of privacy between sites. Camp host was very nice and helpful. Plenty of hiking in the area.
@LizannSD3304DC · Camped on Jul 8, 2023 at Campsite #9
The camp host was excellent, restroom was clean.
Make sure to visit the Camp Sherman store for a great deli sandwich or hamburger. They have everything you need.
A must see is the Wizard Falls Trout Hatchery -

Very peaceful campground, large sites.
@SallyS5074227 · Camped on Jun 11, 2023 at Campsite #12
Nice campground, vault toilets fairly clean but did have a strong odor. Water available. Lots to do in this area, hiking is great. Was there early June, no mosquitos! Nice shaded fairly private sites right on the river, many pull through sites as well.
@SteveH6337222 · Camped on Jun 11, 2023 at Campsite #6
The camp host, Emily, was just great. I forgot my camp chair, so she loaned me hers! She was friendly with everyone in spite of being quite busy.
@ArthurK07FD108 · Camped on Jun 4, 2023 at Campsite #16
We have been camping at Pioneer Ford many times. It is still just a beautiful as ever. What made this particular trip stand out was the campground host. She had the campground running in tip top shape and was dealing with the number of reservation no-shows, that take sites away from people that truley want to camp, in a very efficient and fair manner. We need more hosts like this.

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.
