  The campground is open. The floods this spring have brought record fishing at the campground.   Folks are having great fishing which is the best since the 2010 fish kill.  The river remains high for boats to travel either to Oregon or Dixon. 

 

 Our new check in procedure is one vehicle will be logged and all passengers names entered in the vehicle log.  Please do not be impatient and wait your turn as one vehicle and their passengers are processed.                            Please do not call the office on your way out to the campground asking for address.....gps will get you lost.  You should cut and paste the address below and print a map....otherwise you will get lost with GPS, and having 5 people calling for directions while checking in people does not work, and we must hang up and take care of the campers who got their directions before leaving.
