Beautiful spot. Easy in. Easy out. Make sure to stop by local market (eg. Safeway) for certified wood

It’s a beautiful riverside campground, very serene, with a clean pit toilet, and a nice picnic table.

USFS CGs have gone downhill since turning them over to concessionaires. There is no maintenance, the Road is full of monster chuck holes, tree limbs hang too low, and the dumpsters are over flowing. So sad as Big River is a beautiful spot.

Overall a nice campground. The only drawback is the road it is on is fairly busy.

Peaceful and beautiful. There were lots of mosquitoes in the evening but they were to be expected during this time. Campers were great and respectful. Felt safe! ❤️
