Pretty quiet in late September. It was nice to be able to have a campfire but the host ran out of firewood. Host was super nice and was always available

Beautiful and clean!

Clean, quiet (we were there midweek so I cant speak to weekend activity levels), with easy access to the river. We walked the river trail to the store, which is an easy, no elevation change walk. Its a short drive from Sisters if you want to do other activities or like us, forget essential groceries.

Our campsite #8 was very private with trees and shrubs all around. The only disappointment was that we could hear the river but could not see it directly from our site (although it was a few steps away down a small pathway).

Great site close to the river. Lots of privacy. The only issue we could not put the awning all the way out because of the location of a big tree. If we had been tent camping, or had a trailer that was smaller this site would be 5 stars

Spot was not level so plan for this. All spots along the river are nice here. Some more shaded than others. Quiet, pretty clean restrooms. They ran out of wood, so problem if you try to abide by the rule do not bring own. Love staying here.

Love this campground. Restrooms were clean and well cared for. Camp host was friendly.

Great Host. Smiling River had a mix of tent, small and medium Campers. Only one night for 2 hours did one person use a generator.
I was able to charge sufficiently with solar panels and still have nice shade
