The campground and sites are beautiful. Most sites have river views. There are long hiking trails leaving right from the campground. The sites are far enough from the main road that you don't hear traffic noise. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The campground was impeccably maintained and clean.
Good

Excellent

Decent! The sites down in the 40s/50s river side loop are prettiest and most private. A few of those do have very fast moving water at them, so kids or pets use extreme caution. You probably know this- but I didn't- the photos this site uses are generic to the camp as a whole and don't reflect the campsite # itself... so don't be fooled into thinking you're getting a view when not. We booked 9 6 months in advance and that wasn't worth it! Plenty of same day sites not on the river that would have been equally fine. 9 has no privacy or river access. (Just a view to walk baxk to with steep rocks). Also if you have a dog, no good place to swim them at paradise or paradise boat ramp. too fast of water and no eddy.
Major Issues

I love Paradise. The trees are amazing. Keep you cool and provide the best nap canopy. Sites along the river are best. The toilets are clean and flush! Wow! Close to so many activities along Hwy 126. This summer while we there smoke in the area was an issue and there were a lot of no shows in prime spots. This made me sad. This is a popular campground and hard to reserve along the river. I made mine 6 months in advance and felt lucky I got one. So to see better spots open for several days was a bummer. Oh well, we had a great time. Do everything in the area you can! All worth it: Proxy Falls, Blue Pool, Bigelow HS, Terwillerger HS , Belknap HS, you can even SUP at Blue river reservoir down the road.

There are several really good campsites very near or even in view of the McKenzie River. Absolutely beautiful place. When the ambient temp is around 90 degrees, there is a cool breeze coming down the river. Cam & her husband were very helpful & are very good camp hosts. Dropping her name/recommendation at "Horse Creek Lodge & Outfitters" rewarded a $10.00 discount to the 3 hour/14 mile raft trip down the McKenzie River, a very worthwhile adventure, highly recommended by all in our group. Lots of fun things to do around there (golf @ Tokatee, a good restaurant down the road, Belknap hot springs with a secret garden, Clear Lake, etc.)

This campground is beautiful! Not only for the scenery, but it’s kept super clean by the wonderful, friendly hosts. Will definitely be booking here every year 😁

Beautiful park, great camping space, quiet, and well-maintained.

If coming from the west it’s important to know there is heavy fire damage to the forest. Hundreds of homes burned to the ground and timber removal is ongoing along the Mackenzie River. Just before arriving in Mackenzie Bridge the lush forest returns and by the time we reached Paradise the forest was lush and healthy. No fire damage at or near the campground.

One of the most beautiful campgrounds ever! Many sites on the river, all lush and forested. Facilities are clean and in good repair.

Not your agency's fault, but the following day of our arrival, there was a fire about three miles from the campground, which is beautiful and very nice along the river, that filled our trailer with smoke. Since we went through the Ameda fire last September, we were decided to leave for the Lagoon Campground in Florence. Will try another time.
Good

Clean restrooms, nice picnic tables, lots of singing birds and BIG trees, a beautiful river, good hike on the MacKenzie trail, no rain, but we didn't catch any fish.
