Overview

Like the other campgrounds on the Metolius, Allen Springs is located amongst towering Ponderosa Pines, on a turn of the Metolius River that broadens the river view. Most of the campsites are better suited to tents rather than RV's.

Recreation

This campground offers many opportunities for hiking and biking with the many trails nearby. The ponderosa pine forest provides shade as well as the chance to go bird or nature watching.

Facilities

This facility has 16 sites that are nestled along the Metolius River. The circular shape of the campground means most of the campsites are better suited to tents rather than RVs. Allen Springs is a No Water campground so campers will need to bring their own supply. Each site is equipped with a picnic table and fire pit. We do have vault toilets onsite There is also a small picnic area onsite.

We made reservations for 8 spots; with Young party back in April. However when we arrived at Allen Springs none of the spots were reserved and 2 people were camped in 2 of the spots. There was no camp host; so we had to locate him. Then sadly we had to call a ranger to assist in removing the 2 campers; even though they had paid.. Felt bad for them; and sadly one was not happy and it became an "issue" that was very unpleasant before she left. We come to Allen Springs every year and have never had these issues before. Hopefully it will not happen next year.

The Allen Spring campground is very comfortable, with picnic tables, fire pit, and plenty of space for each camp site. It's right on the banks of the Metolius with beautiful views of the river and well maintained trails along the banks of the river for hikers and fly fishermen.

Campsites are wonderful. Would be better if bathrooms were cleaned up in a more timely manner and garbage picked up.
