Big Pines has been our go to spot for years. It's a great place to camp when you are planning on floating the river for its easy pull out at the boat launch. We tend to camp on the weekdays there as it quickly fills up with the kids on the weekends. The camp hosts Dallas and Cindee were wonderful and helpful when we needed something.

This place is beautiful and access to the river and tall trees at the campsite makes it even better. The only issue we had was that the sites were a bit trashy. We were there on a Sunday and understand that it was the end of a weekend, but the amount of spilled food and trash at the site was a bit overwhelming. I would hope that we could all be a little better stewards of our public lands.
