I really enjoyed our camping trip last weekend. We didn't see any racoons but we did see the cutest little chipmunks! Our kids loved playing in the river. The train at night is really the only downside.

Nice campground along the Willamette River. Our site was number 42, hard to find but very large and no visible neighbors. No flush toilets and had to hike a ways to pit toilets from our site. Also a bit noisy with road traffic and trains.

Great place, close to towns, clean outhouses, amazing photo opps, giant trees & river swimming. Super nice camp hosts. The best thing about this campground is, that a bunch of the spaces are far apart & secluded. We loved the quiet peace at night & no critters got into our stuff. We put all our food, inside the cars at night, so I am certain that helped. Tons of walking trails & if you're a p...

The best thing about this campground is, that a bunch of the spaces are far apart & secluded. We loved the quiet peace at night & no critters got into our stuff. We put all our food, inside the cars at night, so I am certain that helped. Tons of walking trails & if you're a patient rockhound, there are treasures to be found. The water is clear & cool & there is a sandy beach to hang out on. There is also an amphitheater. I adore this campground & will return.
