We only list amenities a source records. A missing item doesn't mean the campground lacks it, so check with Pioneer Ford Campground before you go.
Pioneer Ford is one of the most popular of the campgrounds in the area since many of the sites are well suited to RVs and most of the sites are mostly private, shaded amongst a mixture of pine and cedar trees. As you travel north away from the first in a series of Metolius-area campgrounds and Camp Sherman, the facilities become more and more isolated which is why Pioneer Ford can be so quiet. Located on the Metolius River, this campground provides access to fishing and hiking trails. Recreation Hiking and fishing top the list of recreational activities for visitors.
