Beautiful place to fish and enjoy nature. The camp spots looked nice for tent camping. Vault toilets were clean as well as the garbage/recycling area.

Nice spot on the Crooked River but not many campsites in this campground. First come first serve so hard to get a spot. Every campground was full but unfortunately most of the people were from out of state and shouldn't be here now. If you're not from Oregon please dont camp here
