We found other people squatting with their tent by the river at our campsite.
Some other person left their car at our campsite parking.
Trash everywhere.
Random dog running around with no one watching it and barking at everyone.
People smoking in the 1 single holder bathroom.

Not a great spot for families at all. River is accessible, but over a hill and not a beachy area really. Very loud sound from the road and rowdy campers for sure. We actually left a day early because of the rowdiness. It is close to Bend and you can get right on the river so that was nice.

We actually didn't end up camping at Big River because someone was occupying our site. Note - the host is at another campground 8 mi away, so if you have issues, its a trek. I did observe that Big River is very busy with day use access to the river.

Camp was ok for a forest service campground. Every campsite had a reserved sticker but we basically had the place to ourselves. Pit toilet was clean. Got too smoky and we left early.
