Camp host was very friendly and kept the bathroom cleaned daily. Sites were very close together and the campground was near a boat launch so people kept driving through looking for another ramp. Lots of cars all day.

Pros: Beautiful campsite with great river and toilet access and ample flat ground for your tent. Cell service was consistent and other campers were friendly and respectful. Pit toilet was adequately maintained.
Cons: This campsite offers very little privacy, the cooking grate was missing from our fire ring (though sites 8 and 10 had them), our picnic table was falling apart, and road noise is prevalent.
Overall, a decent site for a weekend getaway with easy access to city amenities.

Our favorite site of the trip, quiet and directly on the Deschutes River.

Visited in Late May. This was the worst Rec.gov campsite we’ve been to. SO many bugs (I know that’s not really controllable), but the outhouse bathroom was locked shut.
No picnic table or fire pit, nothing to see.
It was just a place to sleep for the night.

From Bend travel south on Hwy. 97 for about 17 mi, then make a right onto Vandervert Road. Make a left onto S. Century Dr. then another right to stay on S Century Dr. Follow S Century Dr. / NF-4205, then make a right onto Bonanza Lane, and another right to stay on Bonanza which will lead you into the campground.
Big River is accessed via Hwy. 97, which is approximately 17 miles north of the campground, providing major road connectivity.
