We had such a fun time riding, and would love to come back one day to stay at the campground and check out some of the other trails in the area. Gary was especially careful with our bikes on his rack, had an impeccably clean car (even without considering he hauls around outdoor enthusiasts), and happily showed us important markers and potential hiccups on the trail as he drove us to the trailhead. Alyssa was very responsive and kind on the phone. Overall, I get the impression that they love the land and community around McKenzie River, and are just excited to share that enthusiasm with their guests.

In brief- these guys are AMAZING at everything they have to offer! Alyssa and Gary are the absolute perfect humans and business owners. They pour their hearts into this operation and their genuine interest in helping folks have a good time is beyond evident. Consistent, reliable, so so kind, and welcoming. They are above and beyond in every way possible. The property is insanely gorgeous. We love wandering around, playing around the creek, and hitting the pump track. We've stayed in just about every cabin and it is all perfect. The rafting trips are incredible. They've accommodated (and pleased) a crowd of 5 year old children, and dozens of people during our wedding and have provided such a good time for everyone we know, regardless of skill and comfort level. I can't believe what a solid business these two are operating- across all the years and services we've used, there hasn't ever been the slightest hiccup. Thank you so much, Alyssa and Gary!

Black Bears Do Live Here. Belknap has gorgeous garden trails…read moreand the views are spectacular. Unfortunately the facilities are overdue for a renovation and the lady at the front desk is rude for no reason, as mentioned by so many other reviewers. Yes, we had a visit from a black bear yesterday around 8:00 am in site #20. We watched him as he clambered around just a few feet from our trailer. He walked all around the campground, following along a common guest trail. When we called to report it (we were excited) the lady told us flat out it was "impossible" and there has "never" been a bear sighting. In 50 years ? I was taken aback by her gruff attitude. For your family's safety, just be aware that black bears do live in Central Oregon and might stroll into this campground looking for a yummy picnic basket.

Really mixed feelings about this one…read more The good: the grounds are beautiful. The hot springs pool (particularly the upper one) was so nice and relaxing. The area is beautiful, with some amazing hiking and waterfalls nearby. The bad: our cabin was incredibly disappointing. I was prepared for "rustic." I was not prepared for grime all over the walls, unpainted patches, floors and baseboards that looked like they hadn't been cleaned in literally years, disrepair, and even a dirty sponge, completely with leftover food particles, in the kitchen. I would come back again if I was in the comfort of my own RV. It's a beautiful area and the hot springs really are so relaxing. But I would absolutely not recommend staying in a cabin.

We stayed here three nights in Cabin #3. The grounds are lovely and there is a wonderful grassy…read morelawn next to the river and shaded by mature trees. We sat for hours just talking, drinking wine and watching the river. It's a very peaceful and relaxing spot. The location was OK, but Cabin #3 needs a lot of attention. A couple of the window mechanisms were not working, so if you opened a window, it stayed open. A busted light switch kept us from using the front porch light - so that was a bit hazardous. One of the reasons we rented a cabin with a kitchen was so we could prepare meals there. The kitchen had what can be best described as a minimum of dishes and utensils. There wasn't even a large bowl for making salad. There was no dish soap for cleaning up. There were no extra trash bags so when the trash cans filled up, you were stuck. Guest services were nearly non-existent. We had to ask three times - three different people - for more dish soap. What we got was a bottle with about 1/2 inch of liquid soap in the bottom. Trash bags we had to ask twice for. We had to ask two different folks where to put the trash when we had a full bag. For the price, I expected a lot more knowledgeable and helpful guest services and a much better appointed cabin. There are lots of choices of cabins and resorts in the area, so on our next trip down that way we'll be trying another resort.

Stayed here with my partner and I for a few nights over New Years. It's a lovely little bunch of…read morecabins situated right on the McKenzie River. The cabins are gorgeous and have lots of exposed woodwork. They're cozy, and were just the right size for a quiet romantic getaway. Ours had a queen downstairs and two twins upstairs, so would work for two couples or a family with kids. Kitchen was good sized and well stocked. There was a propane fireplace which we had running most of the time for ambiance as well as warmth. One of the issues I saw was that the front door needed some weatherstripping. There was about an 1/8" gap and as cold as it was outside the air was blowing right in. Made the space around the door a little chilly. Mattresses were pretty decent, but nothing to write home about. All told, though, it was a lovely little spot to spend a few nights. We'll definitely be back!

The word "comforting" is the overarching term to describe this place. We love to arrive and are sad and depressed when we have to leave. I would say the biggest plus is the fact that you can sit at water level of the McKenzie River and even wade in at the beach area. I don't know of any other area that offers that. The cabins are steps from the river and back decks provide the perfect spot for morning coffee, (that we get from the McKenzie Bridge General Store right next door) afternoon reading and evening happy hour! We are disappointed we won't be able to visit this year due to the COVID-19 but can't wait for 2021!

We had a toddler and without even asking they provided us a pack n play and a giant bucket so she could take a bath (since only had shower in bathroom). Lots of amazing frolicking through the property garden and forest for the littles. Everything was so tranquil, with the state of the world these days it was soooo much of everything we needed to take a break. I saw some people mentioned outdated cabins in their reviews but I dont get why? Theyre historic and retro design but meticulously maintained and clean. Someone clearly knows a lot about design because it feels like youre staying in an art piece that perfectly compliments the gorgeous forests and river outside. All the staff we ran into was so nice and helpful and they all work really hard to make it a great experience for people to enjoy. Honestly too, the wedding amenities looked AMAZING. If youre going to celebrate your love anywhere in nature, this should be the place. I bought a hat with a freakin Loloma lodge name on it! Who does that?! I did because this place was magical. Thank you so much to all the staff. I could go on and on even more but for the sake of not writing a novel on yelp ill stop here. Book it if you can!

He also had detailed maps of the 26 mile rides for us and also described some specific areas of the trail. I have been on many shuttles.

This review is for the Mtn bike rental and shuttle for the Mackenzie river trail…read more The good: the trail is worth the drive (from anywhere) and the questionable service. You're riding along the Mackenzie river on a single track trail for up to 25 miles. The scenery is amazing. The water is roaring and clear. The trail is very well maintained. I'm glad this business exists and people have an opportunity to explore this terrific landscape. The bad: we showed up and the guy behind the desk was stressed and had a lot of anxiety. It was only us and one other group of two people. We planned on doing the entire trail (25 miles) but were told the top 9 miles is very technical and we should only do the bottom 16 miles. We submitted and said okay. Unfortunately, where we dropped off only allowed for 10 miles of beginner riding. I called when we finished and they said it was a miss-communication on their part and would take us further up. We went further up and did the next 10 miles. There was one mile of pretty technical riding where we had to stop riding and walk a decent amount. The rest of the time was all beginner/intermediate riding. When finished we couldn't call the shop to get picked up because there was no service. We rode along the road until there was service and called and txted the driver 11 times. No answer. We finally called the shop and were informed that "his phone was on the charger." They said he would be here to pick us up in 15 minutes. 30 minutes later I called back and got a lot of attitude from the front desk staff saying "we have other things to do to." Luckily it was an amazing ride. Really hoping they can get their communication and customer service dialed in!
