Great little camp area next to a bend in the Metolius River. Perfect spot to hike up to the Wizard Falls fish hatchery.

Campground was $12 even though there was no water or garbage can. There was only a really small vaulted toilet. Not a great spot for kids. The creek and river were both running really fast and they were deep. There was good access to the Metolius River Trail.
