Very pretty. Bathroom was clean and I never had to wait in line despite the full campground (lots of people with their own RV bathrooms). A little closer to the road than I would have liked, but at night the frogs and crickets drown out traffic noise. Also very nice to walk right into the Deschutes, but the trade off there being a lot, I mean a LOT of mosquitoes. As soon as we arrived several were immediately having Thanksgiving dinner on me, right through my clothes. Do not come without citronella and bug spray.

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! ❤️

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.
