About
Allingham Campground is nestled along the spring-fed Metolius River in Deschutes National Forest, about 17 miles northwest of Sisters, Oregon. The river emerges from Metolius Springs at the base of Black Butte, a 3,076-foot cinder cone, and flows cold and clear through diverse coniferous forest. This setting makes the campground a prime destination for fly anglers targeting rainbow trout, whitefish, bull trout, and kokanee salmon. The campground features 10 nonelectric sites arranged in a circular loop, with several sites offering riverfront access. All sites are equipped with picnic tables and campfire rings with grills. Drinking water is available from a hand pump, and vault toilets serve the campground. The maximum site spur length is 40 feet, and at least one pull-through site is available. The circular layout and tree spacing make the campground better suited to tents and smaller RVs rather than large rigs. Beyond fishing, the Metolius corridor offers excellent hiking on riverside trails and routes into subalpine forests. Nearby attractions include the Camp Sherman Fish Viewing Platform, Wizard Falls Fish Hatchery, and the Metolius-Windigo Trail. The Lava Lands Visitor Center and Newberry National Volcanic Monument are within driving distance for those interested in the region's volcanic geology.
