Very nice getaway. The creek was wonderful. There’s a lot of traffic with ATVs on the main road near the spring. If you camp away from that, it’s more peaceful.

Big Springs - Caribou offers a well-maintained and enjoyable camping experience, highlighted by friendly and helpful camp hosts. Visitors appreciate the clean facilities, beautiful surroundings, and fun nature trails, making it a great spot for families and outdoor enthusiasts. However, some concerns were noted regarding cattle presence and occasional traffic in the campground, but these did not significantly detract from the overall positive experience.

Very nice campground! Site 3 was full shade in the late afternoon and full sun in the morning. Bbq, table, and fire ring were tidy. There were quite a few small hornet nests under the awning. Short walking distance from the back of the campground where a small nature walk and springs are that you can play in. Lots of traffic with motorized vehicles through the campground but most were going slow. The closest bathroom was tidy with plenty of tp and hand sanitizer. Lots of horseflies and mosquitoes but some citronella candles and mosquito coils helped a lot. There were raccoons in the middle of the night, need to pack away garbage and food at night.

Very nice sites. We were there for 2 nights in late June and it was a bit buggy due to the long grasses in the sites. Cell reception was barely 1 bar using att. Great birding!

We had reserved the 2 H sites on the website. When we got there, someone was in one of our spots. He said there was no reserved notice on the spot, and the camp host took his money and gave him the spot. Luckily the remaining spot was big enough for our group. We have a 43' 5th wheel and the H spot was big enough. The other spots in the rest of the campground would not have been big enough. All in all it was a beautiful place. Bring bug spray and Benedryl.

Nice quiet location that met our needs. Good value and kept clean by staff. No hassles. Pretty hike on nature trail to the spring, very relaxing.

We had the spots H1 & H2 (equestrian spots) and they were perfect for us! These spots are on the very north side of the campground and we appreciate feeling a little more secluded. We had both a tent and snd RV trailer and the accommodations; picnic table, coal grill, fire pit with grilling grate, and the parking/tent pad were great! There could be a closer bathroom for tent campers but we enjoyed the walks around to the bathrooms.

The camp bowery was full of cow manure and the bathrooms looked like they havent been maintained for a while but it wasnt a big deal and we cleaned them all up. The camp was super fun and enjoyable.

Easy check in and well maintained park. Don’t typically use bath facilities so I cannot speak to that.

The Campground was clean and well maintained. The campground Hosts (Alan & Heather) were the friendliest people you can imagine and so very helpful! They even loaned us a tent when it turned out that we had forgotten our tentpoles! We had a great time and intend to visit again soon.

Just east of Lava Hot Springs, Idaho, look for "Pebble Area" sign and turn left onto Blaser Highway/Old Highway 30. Go north on the paved highway 9 mi to Pebble Creek Road, known locally as Mike's Place or Whiskey Mike's. Turn left across railroad tracks on gravel Forest Road 036. Travel about 7 mi to the campground.
Pebble Creek Road is a narrow single-lane dirt road with limited sight distance and not suitable for the very large RVs (the tour bus size RVs that require overhead clearance due to their height and have limited turning capacity due to length, as opposed to a truck with trailer of the same length which has a tighter turning radius due to the hitch).
The campground is accessible via Blaser Highway/Old Highway 30, which is a paved highway connecting to nearby roads. The nearest major highway is US Highway 30, approximately 9 miles from the campground.
