Big River

We loved this campground, yes there is road noise, but it’s close to town what do you expect? The bathroom was very clean when we got there. Site 8 was huge, great for kids to run and play and go down to the river if so desired. The driveway has an odd stump in it that made getting in the spot kind of awkward. 24 ft travel trailer. The lower number sites definitely had louder road noise than 8 9 and 10. Will be back

It was relaxing to just sit by the river and enjoy the view.

There are only a few sites at this campground and only 2-3 that would fit a camper. The few sites that would fit a camper are really hard to back into and have super tight corners. The sites are overgrown, trash left behind from the previous campers, and overall just not our favorite spot we have been to. We were not brave enough to venture to the bathrooms and only used our camper. We were in site 3 which had the most direct access to the river which was nice. The others said they were river front, but I would not classify them as such. The location is fabulous to quickly get to Sunriver. But, I think next time we would probably stay somewhere else.

Great location for floating the river and gathering with a large group. Can be a little loud right on side of road - but not too bad.

We live nearby and always wanted to experience this campgrounds, It met all are expectations of the riverside experience.

Stayed one night in site 7 and one night in site 10. Very quiet, with very little traffic at night. Vault toilet was very clean. Sites were generally large and private. Overall, a great place to camp.

Site 10 (a great site) was better than site 7, in that it had river access, along with a few other sites. Site 7, like other sites which don't border directly on the river, provided no access to the river without walking through some other site, or going under the bridge to the boat ramp on the other side of the road, where river access is not that enjoyable.

Great spots on River rd was kinda noisy

We took our grandsons (ages 4 and 6) camping at Big River, mostly because it's such an easy drive to and from Bend. We stayed in site #5, which was a nice, somewhat roomy spot and had no complaints. You can see and hear highway and bridge traffic nearby, but given how convenient the location is to Bend, we felt it was a fair trade-off. The boys had a blast exploring around the campground, playing with their trucks and army men in the river, and making up goofy stories in the tent at night. A wonderful, easy family trip!

We were assigned a 36 ft site, Site 8. We have a 32 ft motor home and the campsite was too small to accommodate our motor home. We had to drive further into the site in taller grass to be able to use the site. The ground was not level so we did the best we could with our makeshift levels. Our picnic table was in very poor shape so that we didn't even want to use it. We were under the assumption we would have a good view of the river, but the grass between our camp site and the river was so tall we really couldn't see the river very well. We had to walk through the tall grass in order to get to the river. The picture that was on the website as to what this site looked like was misleading. The picture looked better than the actual site, of course. We were very disappointed with our camp site and even came home 1-2 days early.

Beautiful, well maintained site. The lid on the toilet was broken and we talked to the ranger about it. He said the request for replacement was pending. Sounded like chain of command nonsense, so we didn't stress about it. Our site was steps to the river and spacious. Trees helped with privacy and everyone was respectful. I barely noticed the road noise, even at night. The frogs were loud enough to drown it out! I'd definitely stay here again.
