    Really beautiful rest stop on the highway between Klamath Falls and Bend that doesn't otherwise have a whole lot to look at. Bathrooms have always been clean and the site is well maintained.

    We loved the Collier Memorial State Park. The campground was easy to navigate. The bathrooms were ok, they were cleaned daily but pretty basic. Showers were hot. There was still a lot of evidence of the 2020 242 fire but all the areas had clean bathrooms and few restricted areas due to the fire. The logging museum was fantastic and the hike from The campground to the museum was very easy and pleasant. The spring Creek day use area was a great spot to paddle upstream to the headwaters. Wear sunscreen and bug spray.

    This park is close to Hwy 97 and is easy to miss. There is a sign 1.5 mile out then just a small sign pointing to the campground right at the turn-off. Google maps was not much help on this one either. There are lots of full service sites on level ground and lots of pine trees. The pull thru sites are barely off the road. The road is narrow, but the paving is in good condition and sites have paved pads. The camp host greeted us upon arrival with directions to our site and a park map. Paved trails to clean, free showers. They have carts available to haul firewood to your site. Lots of chipmunks and birds. Nice dirt trail along river with benches and information signage. There are two walking bridges to cross the river plus sidewalks under the hwy bridge. Great logging museum a comfortable walk from the campground. Well worth the hike. Park website claimed laundry facilities available but we did not find them anywhere in the park.

    This was a very pleasant find on our adventure! Free museum that allowed you to travel through the history of logging and its technology. LOTS to look at and see. Beautiful layout that was easy to walk around (gravel paths that were wide ), many cabins from history that were moved here to showcase history in the area. Would recommend to stop at!

    Simple but with incredible river views and extremely clear water. Consider kayaking as an excellent option or fishing. An awesome picnic should be had here or even just use it for a bathroom stop on the way to or from Crater Lake.

    Nice State Park in the Pine trees. There are sites for every type of camping, from full hookups to tent sites. There is a nice trail the winds around Spring Creek, which is soo clear you can see to the bottom. If you continue on the trail, you can go under the bridge to the logging museum, which is pretty neat! The only thing that was a bummer is all the burnt trees surrounding the area from the forest fires.

    Stunning little fresh water creek, perfect for a lazy paddle. The launch makes getting in and out a breeze, even for a novice. Took my 74 yr old m-i-l out for the first time and she looked like a pro.

    The day use area was very nice and the restrooms were clean. There is a little museum across the highway that looks like it would be a nice place to visit. This is more like a nice rest area then a park. The fire damage from last year is visible from the parking lot. It was a nice lunch stop and place to stretch your legs.

    Location: Campground is located 30 miles North of Klamath Falls and 24 miles from Crater Lake. The terrain is fairy flat and very wooded. Sites: Half the campsites are full hookups and half are dry/tent sites. Most sites are pretty level with concrete pads. We stayed in sites B09 (very roomy) and B10. They river runs right behind the sites which are a short walking distance. Facilities: The campground is very clean and sites were raked before we arrived. Amenities: There is no camp store, but they do sell fire wood near the entrance. The cons: They don’t allow motorized scooters unless you have a handicap sticker. Overall: We paid $29 a night for full hookup sites. We would definitely recommend visiting for a relaxing weekend or stop by to visit Crater Lake.

    We stayed only one night on a trip through the area, but I found this to be an excellent state park. I’ll come back with my kayak/SUP. We took a morning to see the headwaters of the Wood River, over at the Jackson F Kimball state rec site, which was fun (bring big repellant), and visited the logging museum. At first, I was like “why am I at a logging museum?!” But it had some really cool old implements. The park has helpful hosts, plenty of room and a *cold* stream within walking distance of the camping area (the dog loved it!). The bathrooms were clean and plentiful and there are showers. Don’t forget your flea and tic repellant for the dog!

    This is a beautiful part. I don't normally stop at state parks because they are not dog friendly but I really wanted to see this body of water since it was so beautiful. And no dogs weren't allowed at the beach and dogs weren't allowed here and dogs weren't allowed there but I was able to go to a turnout that had a path down to the water and were all able to get in and swim without a problem. There wasn't a whole lot of traffic on the road so it felt pretty safe to hop the dogs out and down to the water. I mean it wasn't like we were able to put out chairs and hang out but we were able to get in the water and cool off. The dogs and I were grateful for it.

    Simply amazing! Free too. I highly recommend this park that has been donated for public enjoyment. I like cold water. this creek is cear ,clean freezing . So I used my wetsuit to do some water walking. 💧 then check out the walking tour of an outdoor meusem grounds. Complete with all old equipment and buildings very well maintained. Meusem closes at 5. So I recommend enjoying that before picnic and water if you are into extremely low Temps. Warm outside . Lots of areas to explore Not to be missed. We only made it through the first part of a walk tour meusem. A must see IN OREGON!!!

    Pretty cool park with a lot of old logging equipment that is interesting to look at. As a rail fan it was interesting to see the logging rail cars as well as the steam and small Plymouth diesel switching locomotives. There are also antique trucks, wagons, and other logging machinery to look at. Makes for a good way to spend a little bit of time when passing through southern Oregon.

    A bit more highway noise than I like, but great campground. Very well maintained. The chipmunks are abundant and way too friendly. Don't feed them! Dog owners, please clean up your poo!

    It is a very popular place. The mosquito 🦟 visited. We had one rainy day. One hour from Crater Lake and several falls.

  • 5/5 Michael D. 10 months ago on Google
    Beautiful place, thebkids loved seeing all the old logging equipment, the hosts were very nice. It's worth the 30-45 min drive from Klamath Falls. There's a picnic area to take a break and the trailer along the water is great.

    Best park I've visited in the area. The museum is such a joy to walk around and gather information about. Clean grounds, picnic area, and even a small cafeteria for your enjoyment (opens in May)

  • 5/5 Skyler O. 10 months ago on Google
    A lovely site with a hospitable host. Amenities as well, as there was a bathroom with toilets and showers, as well as having both tent sites and hookup sites. Nicely located, nestled into the trees just enough. Would definitely stay here again.

    Beautiful State Park with various sizes of campsites for RV’s and separate tent sites. Set off Highway 97 and just a few miles north of Chiloquin, Oregon the campground sits off two rivers including one that comes directly from Crater Lake! Even though a fire destroyed thousands of trees, the campground was saved!

    It was amazing place that two rivers intersection area inside of campung site. Two trail course inside and it is connect to museum . Very clean camping site and handicap people can enjoy camping easier that made small road by blocks that can make wheel chair can take it there . Campfire also available for $5.00 That provide trolley and later camp host will take back . Strongly recommend

    Love this logging museum. It's outdoors in beautiful setting off the river. Plenty of logging displays and artifacts. You can pack a picnic lunch and eat at tables by the river. Hiking trail across the bridge. Wonderful way to learn about the history of logging. You can pack your kids with you. A great place to spend the whole day!

    I like this park, a lot. It holds many memories for me of trips I’ve taken with my kids, both in spring and summer. It is easy to access, well appointed and always clean. Each time I’ve stopped, there has always been a friendly park ranger that comes by to check up on the site and people.

    We kayaked this area for the weekend. First from the Collier state park day use down to Water wheel ( you have to pull out at Chiloquin bridge, and put back in at the day use across from Dollar General). Then we kayaked Spring creek. Both were great but spring creek is more beginner friendly. Pic is Spring Creek

    The water is beautiful and a perfect place for a nice summer or fall kayak. The headwaters emerge at about 42° and don't get much warmer than that, so it's not much of a swimming hole... Though tubing on a hot day could be a real treat. Crystal clear for snorkeling.

  • 5/5 Alexander K. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely loved it. Easy in and out kayak/canoe ramp with handles too. Super clean and clear water, but super cold. Be safe.
