Riverside at Detroit Campground

Riverside at Detroit Campground offers 32 campsites along the North Santiam River with direct river access for fishing and paddling, featuring paved and gravel roads, vault toilets, and potable water throughout.

The campground is divided into two sections—the upriver (southeast) side has more secluded bluff sites while downriver (northwest) sites offer partial shade; riverside sites are preferred as they help mask highway noise with the sound of rushing water.

Located 14 miles southeast of Detroit on Highway 22 at 2,400 feet elevation, it's open April-September with both reservable and first-come, first-served sites accommodating trailers up to 24 feet, though note there is no cell service in the area.
