One our favorite campgrounds. Beautiful Metolius River.

Smiling River campground is a great campground. What wasn't great, was a couple campers who had their loud generators running most of the day and into the night. I don't go camping to listen to generators. Rules must be enforced as to when and for how long to run a generator or better yet, no generators at all. Also, it would be nice if Rec.gov would enforce the rule that if a reserved spot is not filled within 24, then release that campsite for someone else. Reserved spots are left unattended for days which is not good.

This is a pretty little campground set back a bit from the road. We loved that the water was viewable from our spot (22) as well as accessible via a set of stone stairs at the end of the foot path. It was frustrating that generator noise made it difficult or impossible to enjoy the quiet. There are several campgrounds in this area and I wish even one of them would be designated as generator-free. We visited in late July/early August and while the pit toilets were surface level clean, the strong and unpleasant odor blew right into our site. By the day we left, the ammonia stench was overpowering. The waterfront trail is lovely but needs more signage; the trail jogged at our site and we saw several people get confused or turn around. We hiked it and it was impossible to hike through without walking right through the middle of certain sites (luckily unoccupied at the time).
