New campground opens in Oregon
SWEET HOME, OR — Camping will be free through Monday at Linn County’s newest campground, River Bend, which opened today on a limited basis.
The campground, which hugs the banks of the South Santiam River six miles east of Sweet Home, features 45 camping spurs. Brian Carroll, Linn County parks director, hopes to see that number double in five years with the addition of a second phase of spurs and amenities.
Camping this weekend will be “first-come, first-served,” Carroll said. Beginning Tuesday, camping is $18 per night for a spur with full services, or $15 per night without services. People can pay at the camp’s self-service registration area. A camp host is on site, Carroll said.
Carroll said a grand opening will be held in the spring. The winter schedule will depend on weather. Full Story...
