Smiling River is a special place. Most campsites are roomy, shaded and simple. The river sites are amazing. Our campsite (on the river) was raked and ready for us to enjoy when we arrived. We love the location because it is one mile from the Camp Sherman Store and walking in for coffee in the morning is a scenic experience. With trails on either side of the Metolius River we walk one direction to get there and another to return to our campsite. We try to sign up for campsites with our friends so we will be next to each other. We were not able to do this in 2023, even though we signed up on the first day that we were able. Sadly, the three beautiful sites on either side of us, truly the most desirable in the campground, were empty all four days we were there. Actually, on the two days we took a count and only 1/2 to 2/3 of the campsites were occupied. What this told us was that many people reserve and do not show up, depriving others of these beautiful sites. Since communication is so limited, it is difficult for others to secure the sites. This seems such a poor use of the resources available to us.

The beautiful Metolius River! We saw an Osprey flying down river with a fish in it's talons, a kingfisher flying up river, a white headed woodpecker and the best of all: an otter feeding for 45 minutes right in front of our campsite.
