I rate this park F****. This was an Oregon state park and no reservations were accepted which was great for us as we stayed 3 nights, July 9 - 11. We had full hookups, 50 amp electric, a nice level asphalt pad, and two large pristine rivers only steps away from our site. Aggie loved being in the tall pine forest. Unfortunately, the mosquitoes were very thick and kept us inside the first two nights. We stopped by a local grocery store and bought some 98% deet which really helped. Also, no satellite or internet reception from our site which made for some early bedtimes. We toured crater lake from this location, a separate post. Went to this really neat little church, (Our Lady of Mount Carmel), which has no Saturday evening mass and only 9:00 AM mass on Sunday. This free standing church only seated maybe 150 people and I think better than 50% were visitors, like us. We also toured an outdoor logging museum and pioneer log cabin village (a separate post) which was adjacent to the state park so we only had to hike ½ mile to it. Buddy enjoyed the hikes and swimming in the 42 degree spring fed river. There were hundreds of chipmunks in this campground and Buddy enjoyed observing them, but I don’t think he cared for the mosquitoes. We met several people in this campground who were on there way to the Good Sam Rally in Redmond, Oregon.
