Great and easy little spot for self contained campers. It was just what I needed to break up a long road trip- booked again on my return trip! My dog loved the river access- there were some locals there swimming when we arrived but once they left we didn't see anyone else. A little bit of noise from the road during the day but not too bad and mostly peaceful & relaxing.

We were not sure at first if we were at the right place. We pulled in where it said picnic and found an area to set up came with porta johns. Dahllia was quick to respond to confirm we found the spot we were looking for. The river is a huge bonus, the kids and dogs had a great time swimming. To find it you walk the Riverbank Dr to the left and it ends at the swimming spot. The sunset was amazing with a gorgeous night sky. It was about an hour from Crater Lake and very secluded. We would definitely recommend this spot.

The road isn't marked, we passed it and had to turn around. There are two roads, a grass road and gravel that are about where the GPS takes you. The road to the beach is rutted but we made it down there. I'm not sure where the tent picture under the big tree is. I couldn't find that tree on the property. You camp site is in a field with no shade other than a few willow trees in overgrown reed canary grass. The site is private and far enough from the road we didn't worry about the dogs. You can hear traffic on the highway. The river has a big deep swimming area hole so bring something to float on. We enjoyed our time on the property and would stay again if in the area. We did catch some fish but would bring a weedwacker to clear more area by the water if the host would let us. A picnic table would be useful for this site.
