Olallie on McKenzie Highway - Willamette (OR)

Nestled on the banks of the McKenzie River and Olallie Creek, Olallie Campground provides a superb setting for a getaway into nature. The lower loop offers mesmerizing views of both the river and the creek, while the upper loop is set further in the trees with many sites facing the creek. The McKenzie River is a tributary of the Willamette River that runs for 90 miles, flowing into the southernmost end of the Willamette Valley. This campground has 16 sites divided into two loops along the eastern banks of the river by Olallie Creek. Sites can accommodate vehicles and trailers up to 35 feet in length; four sites have short parking spurs on uneven slopes and are recommended as tent sites only, not suitable for RV parking. No electric hookups are available. Picnic tables are provided, drinking water is available via one hand pump well located on the lower loop, and there are two accessible double vault toilet buildings, one on the upper road and one on the lower. Trash receptacles are located in the campground. There may or may not be a camp host onsite. Campfires are allowed until and unless otherwise posted, but fire bans are common during summer months, so please plan accordingly. There may be no cellular service or very limited service at the campground. Fishing, rafting and swimming are three top activities in the river, and a day use picnic area is also available at the campground. Nearby is the 26-mile McKenzie River National Recreation Trail, which provides access to world class mountain biking and hiking. Other nearby draws include the McKenzie Pass-Santiam Pass National Scenic Byway and the McKenzie Wild and Scenic River for boating and fishing. Olallie Campground is located in the midsection of the Cascades mountain range in western Oregon. The Willamette National Forest stretches for 110 miles with varied landscapes of high mountains, narrow canyons, cascading streams, and wooded slopes.
