What Guests Are Saying
The Big Bend Group area is a beautiful and cozy location that accommodates up to 25 people, making it ideal for group gatherings. While it is clean and secure, the proximity to a busy highway results in significant noise, which may disrupt sleep. Overall, it offers a lovely setting, but potential visitors should be aware of the noise factor.

We’ve been to this site three times now and loved it the first two times, but this last time so many trees had been cleared the freeway sounds wear so loud we couldn’t sleep. The river is still beautiful and the toilets were clean, but it’s better as a day trip stop.
