Campground details
Setting
Candle Creek Campground sits at the confluence of Candle Creek and the Metolius River where the river's rapids begin. Reached via a gravel road, the site accommodates tents, trailers, and RVs, offering picnic tables, fire rings with grills, and vault toilets. Campers must bring drinking water, as none is provided. The location is a popular spot for fly-fishing for trout and salmon, as well as hiking along riverside paths and exploring the surrounding coniferous forest.
