Decent! The sites down in the 40s/50s river side loop are prettiest and most private. A few of those do have very fast moving water at them, so kids or pets use extreme caution. You probably know this- but I didn't- the photos this site uses are generic to the camp as a whole and don't reflect the campsite # itself... so don't be fooled into thinking you're getting a view when not. We booked 9 6 months in advance and that wasn't worth it! Plenty of same day sites not on the river that would have been equally fine. 9 has no privacy or river access. (Just a view to walk baxk to with steep rocks). Also if you have a dog, no good place to swim them at paradise or paradise boat ramp. too fast of water and no eddy.

Great campground right along the McKenzie, which will sing you to sleep at night. It's a bit messy due to several large trees which were dropped relatively recently. Most sites are pretty private, with lots of foliage.
@ArthurK07FD108 · Camped on Aug 26, 2024 at Campsite #19
The McKenzie River is beautiful and the trails are well maintained and pretty.
@HollyJ7FD12C45 · Camped on Aug 14, 2024 at Campsite #23
Spectacular campground right along the McKenzie River. Clean, well-kept and friendly. Camp hosts Rich & Cam are hardworking, professional and welcoming. They obviously care very much because they put a lot of energy into making Paradise In Oregon a true gem.

Excellent campsite

My daughter and I love this site in Paradise campground....right on the McKenzie River. We've been coming back for over 10 years. It is very private and well kept up.

I love Paradise. The trees are amazing. Keep you cool and provide the best nap canopy. Sites along the river are best. The toilets are clean and flush! Wow! Close to so many activities along Hwy 126. This summer while we there smoke in the area was an issue and there were a lot of no shows in prime spots. This made me sad. This is a popular campground and hard to reserve along the river. I made mine 6 months in advance and felt lucky I got one. So to see better spots open for several days was a bummer. Oh well, we had a great time. Do everything in the area you can! All worth it: Proxy Falls, Blue Pool, Bigelow HS, Terwillerger HS , Belknap HS, you can even SUP at Blue river reservoir down the road.

Beautiful site on the river. Very clean. Area raked and spacious. Camp host very helpful and attentive.

We were able to setup a small card table with our camp chairs along the riverbank. We were in the shade for most of the day while playing cards and watching the river rafters float by. Overall, the spot was great for a large tent and a smaller tent. Park hosts were very gracious and accommodating.

Very shady camp spot with a cool breeze from the river! Great location!
@ChaundraSC1C3C · Camped on Jul 9, 2024 at Campsite #54
Right on the river. Beautiful campsite and campground.
@MatthewEEFA211 · Camped on Jul 3, 2024 at Campsite #52
Amazing spot. Pit toilets arent what they used to be- you really need to just hold your breath the whole time. Brutal.
@BarbaraH643159 · Camped on Jul 2, 2024 at Campsite #17
Beautiful campground. Really quiet. Being on the river is a must.
@DebbyM71373382 · Camped on Jun 30, 2024 at Campsite #22
Beautiful spot, was perfectly clean and ready for us. A wonderful stay.
@KimL6588987 · Camped on Jun 30, 2024 at Campsite #63
This park is fabulous. We were unable to get the same site 2 nites in a row, but the camp host helped us once we were there in moving to a location that was more suitable and available for 2 nites. So friendly.
@HaroldC3133315 · Camped on Jun 27, 2024 at Campsite #22
excellent well kept friendly
@derekk1956287 · Camped on Jun 25, 2024 at Campsite #52
Clean and spacious camp sites.
@RebeccaP599017 · Camped on Jun 23, 2024 at Campsite #55
My camping experience at Paradise campground was fabulous! Despite having people in the campgrounds on both sides of me, it was very quiet and peaceful. Most of the time, the sounds of the river, the wind through the trees, and bird song were all I heard. I hung my hammock between two trees and spent much of my time reading. It was heaven!
@ColleenV847349 · Camped on Jun 21, 2024 at Campsite #17
Absolutely beautiful campground with large sites under big old growth trees, many of which feel secluded because of the trees and space between. The pristine cold Mackenzie runs very swiftly along one side of the campground and there are access points for people who didnt get a campsite on the river. I like the riverside campsites the best but there are some very nice ones tucked into the shade of the big trees. Camping on the river you can watch groups of people go by in white water rafts, which I find entertaining. The river is loud and fast here, not a place for swimming and its hard to have a conversation right on the bank but its sure nice to sleep to. There are a few flush toilets but mostly vault toilets, all kept clean. There is good fresh water close to every campsite. Some of the huge, thick picnic tables are a bit worse for wear, we just put a plastic tablecloth on ours and it was fine. Be Bear/critter aware and put your food in the car. We forgot a bag of avocados and the entire thing disappeared overnight. I dont like to think about what would be strong enough to snatch the whole bag.All in all our favorite campground.
@JaneJ4315994 · Camped on Jun 20, 2024 at Campsite #19
Site #19- Partial shade, close to restroom. Fantastic camp hosts. Only downfall is that the public trail to the river runs parallel to the site and people could be heard on the path and riverfront at 10pm.
@RickH5164294 · Camped on Jun 17, 2024 at Campsite #49
Well maintained camping site. Only issue is the recently cut log laying around
@RobertM1452522 · Camped on Jun 16, 2024 at Campsite #62
Great campsites especially if you can get one on the river half the sites have out houses so try and get in the area that has flush toilets
@RobertM1452522 · Camped on Jun 14, 2024 at Campsite #38
Beautiful sites in secluded areas, surrounded by trees makes this a fantastic place for a camping trip.
@MaryS3622227 · Camped on Jun 2, 2024 at Campsite #48
It was a great location and the camp hosts were really nice, helpful and kept the campgrounds super clean! The camp is close to some amazing waterfalls! Truly an area of Oregon that I would return to every year!
@AnnEB6053DCAF5 · Camped on May 27, 2024 at Campsite #49
We love Paradise! Sadly its gotten so popular that its a different experience than in years past. Inexperienced campers dont seem as appreciative, friendly or respectful as in past years. Even though camp hosts are wonderful & professional they can only control so much. Our dog was viciously attacked my an unleashed pit bull last year. If you go, PLEASE keep it a safe place for all to enjoykeep your dogs secured both in camp sites & while enjoying trails.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
