Tent and RV campers love staying at Big River Campgrounds in Bend, Oregon. There are three group campsites and numerous individual camping areas. Not all of the sites are reservable, but all the group areas are and six of the individual sites can be reserved. The other sites are first come, first served.

The camping areas have picnic tables, campfire rings, grills, and vault toilets. There is also a boat ramp at the campsite to give guests easy access to the waterfront.

Big River Campgrounds are a prime spot for hikers, bikers, fishers, and people interested in boating, wildlife watching, mountain climbers, and horse riders. With close proximity to the South Cascade Lakes and the Deschutes River, there are plenty of opportunities for water activities.
