Big River

The campsite was two inches deep in powdered dust. Could not even get out of the vehicle without getting covered. This campground needs surfacing, would never camp there again!

We stayed in Campsite "C". Near it was the only access for both campsites "B" and "C" to the water, and the access, as it was, was very poorly maintained. Not only that but directly across the main road was a much larger portion of the Big River campground and both foot traffic and folks on bikes, passed though our campsite frequently. Folks can be very rude! I do not remember anyone asking permission to pass directly though our camp. And some passed though multi-able times. Also the only campground toilet was located between camp "B" and "A". Quite a ways away from our site and two larger camp trailers (staying at camp "B") was parked directly in-front of the toilet. I mean the edge of their awning was 15 ft away from the door of the toilet and right on top of the intended path through the under brush to the toilet. Will not be going back to this camp ground!

It’s a very nice little campground. A little noise from traffic but great for a few nights. Staff keeps camp clean.

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.

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