If you'd like to consider camping, you can book those sites as early as 6 months ahead of your arrival date by visiting recreation.gov and searching for Camp Sherman as the location. Gorge Campground (technically closed the weekend of our wedding, so maybe ok just to tent camp. We can help ya out with showers and such at the venue close by) Pine Rest Campground (open year round, tent only) and Smiling River Campground (closed this time of year so same deal as the other campground) are the 3 closest to House on Metolius. Camp Sherman Campground is still very close and open year round. There is also a ton of National Forest land around to camp.
