Camping at Allen Springs Campground near Sisters

Public campground · Sisters · 15 campsites

A forested campground near fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

Outdoor access here emphasizes low-key, close-in recreation: short forest walks and a network of nearby trails make hiking and mountain biking easy from camp, and the ponderosa stand is good for bird and wildlife viewing. The campground provides direct river access for enjoying the Metolius atmosphere, and the broader Deschutes National Forest supports activities such as fishing, swimming, boating and more; the town of Sisters and the Sisters Wilderness Trailheads are a short drive to the southeast for supplies and longer trail options.

“It was beautiful and restrooms were clean and the campground was tidy. The host was around a lot so accessible if there were any issues, which luckily there weren't. I appreciated that the site was open due to the shutdown.”

Karen B 5 · Oct 2025 · Recreation.gov

“We come here annually. Great view of the river. Drawback is no running potable water. ”

How far ahead to book Allen Springs Campground

For May weekends, book about 180 days ahead. Three in four May Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 156 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (4,646 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
