     Lower Canyon Creek is a very popular local campground because very few people know how to get there. It has campsites right on the creek with large rock ledges to lie on to feel the sun. Some people like to put their kayaks in here to head to the Metolius.  It is really its privacy that makes this campground so nice. The area is well treed and the creek gives it a lot of beauty. There are not many sites, but they are all located close to the water. Most of the sites are large enough for RVs, but most are not ideal RV sites. The closest way to get there is to take Hwy 20 to USFS 12 near Suttle Lake. Go north for about 3 miles and then turn east on USFS 1425 before the Jack Creek turnoff. After about 2 miles turn north on 1420 and proceed for another mile until you see the Lower Canyon Creek sign on your right. The campground is about 1 mile in on this road. You can also get here by taking the turnoff to Camp Sherman from Hwy 20 and then continue straight on 1420 when you get to Camp Sherman.

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 Black Butte RV and Motel (aka. Camp Sherman RV Park). Black Butte 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. On crowded weekends he may have information about which campgrounds still have sites available. Also an RV dump is available at the Hoodoo Lodge from 9AM to 4PM.
