The Big Bend Group offers a beautiful and cozy location suitable for groups of up to 25 people, with clean facilities and a secure environment. However, the proximity to the highway can result in significant noise, which may disrupt sleep. Overall, it’s a great option for gatherings, but potential visitors should consider 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.
