Smiling River Campground

US Forest Service · Oregon

Smiling River Campground in Oregon. Ringed marker is this site; the other dots are the 790 public campsites we map in Oregon.

The campsites in this site are more heavily used during the midweek than other areas along Metolius River. However, with ample campsites along the river, it is rare for all the sites to be taken even on the busiest weekend. This campground offers opportunities to fly fish, provides access to trails, and is just one mile north of the Camp Sherman Store.
