Some highway noise. Some blackened trees. Lots of chipmunks trying to get into stuff. Decent showers. But make a reservation because that is the way things are done, which I hate because there are no shows. It lends itself to big rigs but not van campers who hop around. You can make a same day reservation. Expect to pay more for out of state.

I have a 45 foot Class A Motorhome, so many state park and US campgrounds are difficult for me to get in. But Collier was a welcome find. Wide asphalt roads all the way in and I found 4 spaces in Collier that were easy for me to back into. 50 amp power, water and sewer. Many of the sites were spaced apart for privacy. Not your typical Sardine Park where your awning can't open all the way for fear it hits the neighbor. The fire that happened in 2020 did not crown and burn the tops of the tress, still a very green forest. The road noise is loud on the highway side of the campground but its quiet at night. I would have given it 5 stars except for its proximity to the highway and the black burned trees at the base of the trees. I prefer this park over many of the private RV parks that pack you in like sardines in a can.

This campground has re-opened after being damaged by a forest fire. Roads re-paved, and most facilities appear to be in great condition. We expected an electric-water hookup site and ended up with full hookups which was a nice surprise. While you do still see a lot of the fire damage, the recent rains from winter of 2022-23 have restored a lot of green to the area. Campground is on the Williamson River and there are lots of trails. We had a 50 amp service, water and sewer. Sites are fairly large and well spaced out. The park is super easy to reach from Hwy. 97, easy in and out for any size rig. Good cell service here- we have Verizon. Down side: fire damage, and noise from highway. Both were easy to overlook as the green and nearby unharmed forest were still in view. Would highly recommend, especially for an easy one night stay enroute to somewhere else. A very nice surprise.

Unfortunately, this campground was devastated by wildfire in August 2020. The logging museum across the road was spared except for one out building. I hope this campground gets rebuilt.

We enjoyed our stay at this quaint Oregon State Park. The Campground provided nicely paved parking for RVs with full hookups. The spaces were setup that you felt a sense of privacy between camping spaces. The dogs enjoyed walking the trails that run parallel to the rivers. Two water sources merge together and provide a very natural setting inside this park and offers fishing, kayaking or canoeing for those so inclined. One of them is creek and the other is the Williams River. The restrooms functioned well, showers were hot and had steady water pressure. Loop A restroom building had a unisex/handicapped restroom that included an accessible shower unit. The park is maintained by several park hosts and Ranger staff members. We saw the staff regularly as they went about cleaning restrooms and camp sites as people left the campground. Trash dumpsters are located at the very front of the campground where the overflow parking for boats and additional vehicles park. There is a lovely trail that crosses the stream and takes you to the logging museum which is very interesting and worth a stop if you are interested in seeing the tools and history of the logging industry in this area. The museum covers the introduction of lumber industry in the 1860s through 1970s. I had read some reviews that stated they were bothered by mosquitoes during their stays. We noticed a few mosquitoes but they were not distracting to us but if you are sensitive you may want to make sure you take some preventative measures.

Great campground. Logging museum well worth a couple of hours. There is no laundry here.

The good.
The campground has paved and level roads throughout with nice hookups for RV's. All the fellow campers were very nice and the campground was well maintained. The logging museum was fun to walk through with the old cabins and logging equipment. It is also a short distance from Crater lake. It is not far from the hiway, but I did not notice any noise. It is very close to the Williams river which is beautiful and an easy walk.

The bad.
Most of this is probably just our timing but it was our experience. The first thing was we were eaten alive by mosquitoes! It was so bad that in the evening the rangers were driving the camp roads with some big sprayer. Whatever this was, it caused my wife's allergies to go haywire. Everything was covered in dead mosquitoes in the morning. One morning we awoke to a sanitation truck sucking out the septic system it was very loud and they were there for hours! They were also doing construction on the paved roads to the bathrooms with loud equipment. A bit of a peeve for me too was they requested that you not dump full tanks in your full hookup spots and instead use the dump station. I gave it a 3 star because many of these issues are timing I am sure, but we won't be back.

One the nicest State Parks we have been in. Very clean, new pavement and restrooms. Easy, wide open, level pull-thrus or back-ins for RV'ers. Ours has 50 amps and a fire pit. 3 friendly Camp Hosts, they take turns being on duty and also host at the Logging Museum across the street. Its a must see. Great walks on the creek or river and 1 hour from Crater Lake N.P.

Great park with nice amenities. Big spaces. Not a ton of privacy, but...it's about the trails and the rivers. Two rivers converge here, one more of a mountain stream and the other is more a lazy river. We kayaked on one, fished in both. The dogs love the trails and open spaces adjacent to the park.

Great little Oregon state park. Large sites with trees and miles of trails to explore. Logging museum close by is a must see. If you don't need hookups we rode our bikes the 1.5 mi to the Williams river campground down the same road. I found 1 person there and my 5th wheel of 30' would fit in nearly all the 20 spots. No power or sewer though.
