Kayakers, mountain bikers, and McKenzie River Trail hikers get the most out of this place. Site 006 puts you steps from the water and the bathrooms. Book riverfront sites months out on Recreation.gov and bring your own firewood since local wood may be restricted.
No showers and no dump station rules this out for anyone expecting full hookups or a rinse after a sweaty trail day. Light sleepers should also know logging operations begin before dawn and run throughout the day, audible from most sites.

<p>Paradise Campground is indeed a campers paradise. Originally built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s, it offers a rare opportunity to camp in the middle of a lush, old growth grove of Douglas fir and western red cedar while viewing the McKenzie River's famous white water.</p><p>A number of the 64 sites face the river, while many others are tucked into the scenic forest. Flush toilets are dispersed throughout the campground and parking spurs are paved. Educational programs are provided at the amphitheater.</p>
The elevation is 1,600 ft. The campground stretches along the McKenzie River in a series of overlapping loops through a lush riparian environment. Originally built by the Civilian Conversation Corps (CCC) in the 1930s, the campground is in the middle of an old growth grove and has a wonderful lush, semi-sub- tropical feel. Fern and other moisture loving plants cover the ground while lichen and moss drape from the pleasant variety of trees including towering grand old Douglas fir and cedar. A number of sites are on the river's edge - perfect for watching passing rafters - while other sites are tucked back into the woods. The pull-through sites have an overlapping, interwoven configuration.

Summer brings the best conditions, with daytime highs of 70–85°F and nights dropping to 40–55°F. The river warms enough for swimming and paddling, trails are snow-free, and all sites are typically open late June through early September. Expect full campgrounds on summer weekends. Fall offers cooler temperatures and changing foliage, though rain becomes more frequent as the season progresses.
Summer is best: trails snow-free, river warms for paddling, peak season and full services available.

Still a great spot.' - Site 54: 'We loved the space and location of site 54, but 53 also looked like a great site.'
