Gorge is the fifth campground that you come to on the Metolius River. It is more isolated and quieter than its neighbors. It has the largest of the Ponderosa Pines in the area. There is a fish hatchery close by where you can see  fish ranging from the little ones that will be released later to the large ones that are feed here and saved for some lucky kids on kids fishing day. There is a path along the river that can be followed all the way into the little town of Camp Sherman or you might like to ride your bikes on the road that leads from Camp Sherman to all of the campgrounds. This area is normally sunny, but still has the giant trees of the Cascade Mountains, only these are mostly Ponderosa Pines instead of Douglas Firs. For those of you who miss the ability to take a shower or use the laundry or even need an RV dump these amenities are available for a fee at Hoodoo's Camp Sherman RV and Motel (aka. Black Butte RV Park). The RV Park is located next to the school as you enter Camp Sherman. The host will be glad to help with questions about the campgrounds as well.  Also an RV dump is available at the Hoodoo Lodge from 9AM to 4PM. This is normally an non-hosted campground, but an attendant will visit two to four times per day. RV use rating is a 4 (out of 5)
