Riverside At Detroit

About

Riverside at Detroit Campground provides an excellent outdoor retreat for campers seeking a more remote experience in Oregon's Cascade Range. Grand, mature cedars and Douglas fir trees greet visitors as they enter the 32-site campground along the North Fork Santiam River. The surrounding vegetation includes hemlock, rhododendron, and fern beneath towering conifers, creating a lush Pacific Northwest atmosphere. The campground comprises two main loops, each with distinct character. The southeast (upriver) section features more secluded sites perched on a bluff overlooking the river, ideal for those seeking privacy. The northwest (downriver) sites offer partial shade and a more open setting. All sites are equipped with picnic tables and fire rings, with drinking water spigots and three double-vault toilets located throughout. Anglers enjoy fishing for rainbow trout on the river, while hikers can explore the nearby Coffin Mountain Trail Area and the challenging Minto Mountain Trail. The Marion Forks Fish Hatchery is an interesting nearby attraction where visitors can observe rainbow trout, summer steelhead, and spring chinook being harvested.
