Big Springs - Caribou

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 miles from the beginning of the dirt road up to the campground, and about 2 miles 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.

What a wonderful place. A little hard to get too but so worth the drive. We will definitely go back!

Beautiful and quiet. The wind did take down some of our tents.

Beautiful place. Quiet, serene and peaceful. One of our favorite places!

We stay here just about every year. Last year we stayed twice! Its a beautiful campground and great for families. Large sites, beautiful nature trail that's great for young families. At first I was a little put off by the camp host because he was very serious about the 5mph speed limit and the fact you couldn't bring atvs, motorcycles, or utvs into the campground. But the one time he wasn't there to tell people, I realized why. Inconsiderate people acting like the campground was a part of the trails and ripping around all through the campground kicking up dust and making noise to the point you couldnt carry on a conversation. The campground is great, and probably one of my favorite. The camp host is a really great guy who just wants to preserve the essence of why people go camping. Though I could do without some of the people that were there, especially the ones running their loud generator just to watch tv all day. SMH. But we've stayed there 3 times and as long as the camp h

Nice, clean campground.
