Big Springs - Caribou

Our family had a great time camping here over the weekend. Excellent place to ride 4-wheeler’s, take hikes, enjoy the scenery. Our camp host and hostess were very friendly and helpful. Best camp hosts yet.

Great camping area at the end of the road. Good trails for walking and a nice creek nearby. Was an easy drive into Lava Hot Springs for the day. Campsite well kept, vault restrooms were some of the cleanest we had seen. Will be back.

Beautiful and clean. The sites are already leveled, made it super easy to set up. Some sites had pavilions, benches and tables. Camp host let us use atvs at 5 mph through camp. Bathrooms were kept clean, No spiders or awful smell. I would go back again.

Such a fantastic spot! Can’t wait to go back! Lots of hiking trails and spaces to ride 4wheelers.

Campground was clean and very family friendly. The hosts were great.

We LOVE Big Springs and have been going there for 10+ years. Unfortunately a box of rocks could do a better job at communicating than the camp host. We clearly woke them up from a nap around 2 p.m. when we just wanted to ask a few questions, she was instantly upset and telling us what we couldn't do, when all we were doing was asking questions about a few 1st come 1st serve sights (we already had 4 reserved sights). She said how hard it was to do books and was charging my parents with a Senior Pass $7.50/night when the sign clearly said $7.00/night because she had no change. Which didn't matter because we had $14 to pay for 2 nights. We did pay $15 because she couldn't understand that we didn't need change and we didn't want anymore confrontation. She did tell us quite time was from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. then campers in the group sight kept their generator on all night and all day. Just a little frustrating when its suppose to be quite and the host did nothing to stop it.
We plan on returning as always but hopefully with new camp host!

We had a great time at Big Springs Campground. The camp hosts were very helpful. There are a lot of nice shaded campground spots. It is fun to walk to the spring. We love the campgrounds proximity to Lava Hot Springs pool.

Beautiful location! Directions pretty simple to follow. The nature hike to Big Springs was the perfect length (20 minutes round trip) and offered great scenery.
The campground also had low visitation so we didn't feel like our group was bothering anyone. Horse flies were awful, though. SO MANY!!! We were constantly getting bit! Campground hosts were MIA for the first two days of our stay, maybe they had an emergency to deal with or something but it still seemed strange.

Hard to get there but loved the cows during the drive to the entrance. Grass was quite tall. Nice campsites. Only spent 1 night. Not ATV'rs so not ideal for us. Still pleasant but probably won't camp there again.

We thoroughly enjoyed out 4 days at the Big Springs Group Site. The pavillion was fabulous, and vault toilets were close by, there was enough space for our 8 RVs and 8 tents. There are some lovely locations in the trees next to the creek for the tents. It was a quiet spot and we loved sitting around the fire ring in the evening. It is 6 mi from the beginning of the dirt road up to the campground, and about 2 mi in the middle is a little sketchy if you are pulling a trailer and another trailer is coming the opposite direction. It could use more pull out locations through that stretch. All in all, we had a wonderful time and the camp hosts were so kind and gracious. We enjoyed visiting with them when they would come by and check on us.
