Campsites are larger than average and spaced further apart than your typical reservable campgrounds, which is something I always look for and appreciate! The campgrounds were well cared for and the lake views were priceless! Be prepared for sand and snow (season depending) :)If you are someone who might be bothered by noises of ATV/Dirt bikes and/or chainsaws, this is not the place for you. Didnt bother us, but something I noticed and wasnt expecting. That being said, those campers who were riding were very respectful so mornings and nights were quiet and peaceful. We will definitely be coming back!

Our site was in the location of a very sharp turn. We were unable to use it and left. The lake is beautiful. The site was plenty long but even a 30ft fifth wheel couldnt get in to it. I think sites should include backing clearances and angles and boulders. Not just length of the site.

Great campgrounds and gorgeous views. Excellent riding as well

@PhilS8456940 · Camped on Sep 30, 2024 at Campsite #19

Perfect spot. Loved it. See you next year.

@LARISAW555AA6A · Camped on Sep 20, 2024 at Campsite #10

The lakeside campsite and mountain views were beautiful, but this was not a tranquil experience, and I would not return to this campground due to the noise: (1) The campground is right next to Santiam Pass OHV staging area and trail system - this created a lot of off-road motorcycle and quad noise nearby as well as in the campground as many of the OHV users were also using the campground overnight. (2) The person next to me had an RV which ran a generator all night.I ended up staying one night and leaving early in the morning as soon as I could.

Beautiful area but it's a party campground. People had bonfires during a red flag fire ban, up until 2 a.m. and the church camp across the lake was blasting music Sunday morning.

@JoyW1874694 · Camped on Sep 3, 2024 at Campsite #37

Restrooms very clean. Campground very clean. Host site clearly marked.

@KahoriE543420C · Camped on Aug 26, 2024 at Campsite #2

Beautiful location. Nice spacious campsites. Clean vault toilets. Quiet and peaceful

@CHARLESW378124 · Camped on Aug 18, 2024 at Campsite #1

My site was nice, not the easiest lake to fish very shallow near the shoreline.

@AndreaTC4D75AE · Camped on Jul 30, 2024 at Campsite #7

It is extremely hard to find any sites that accommodate trailers of 30 feet or less. If you can get your trailer in, you cannot get a vehicle in with it.

@JanetteC3564A3 · Camped on Jul 19, 2024 at Campsite #6

We had a great experience despite arriving right after the area having widespread campfire bans that are totally understandable. The camp hosts were awesome and attentive and kept the common areas clean and well stocked with toilet paper. We will for sure be back.

@MackenzieF3394 · Camped on Jul 19, 2024 at Campsite #Standard S&P

Loved big lake campground!! The water was so nice, perfect weather! Boat ramp was busy but of course thats expected on a nice day! Looked like a majority of the sites had access to the water

@DeborahM969915 · Camped on Jul 18, 2024 at Campsite #Standard S&P

Great place to camp. The seasonal Park Rangers were amazing. So helpful and accommodating. Highly recommended.

@MoizAB4115478A · Camped on Jun 24, 2024 at Campsite #37

Swarms of mosquitoes. We saw dense columns of mosquitoes 30 foot tall, and we got attacked so bad that I thought we'd die! With this kind of infestation deet repellant didn't work. Obviously there is no mosquito control in place at this site, and no warnings were posted. We had a hellish night.

@JeffB8180041 · Camped on Jun 24, 2024 at Campsite #1

Great location and interesting camp sites right on the lake. Plenty of activities at camp and nearby. Paddle boarding, kayaking and swimming was spectacular. Camp host was great. The only negative was the mosquitoes.

@BENP8352155 · Camped on Jun 20, 2024 at Campsite #2

MOSQUITOS! Crazy mosquitos in mid-June, impossible to be outside. Likely better in early fall. We will not return in early summer.

@JamesG6676411 · Camped on Sep 12, 2023 at Campsite #29

Very quiet this time of the year - we enjoyed the weather and the solitude. It can be really busy during the summer. The RV space was fine for our 18 foot trailer and we were able to access the picnic table and fire pit without climbing down the bank at the spot we stayed at. If you need flat ground, avoid some of the spaces that require steps to get down to the picnic tables - some of these sites are pretty steep on the west end of the Lake.

@AngieG2481002 · Camped on Aug 10, 2023 at Campsite #29

Make reservations otherwise it is a huge hassle to get a spot

@CameronD957405 · Camped on Jul 28, 2023 at Campsite #9

Really nice campground with stunning view. We had site #9 which was huge, had decent privacy, and had a path to the lake that led to a little beach. Bugs werent too bad for our weekend, but it was a little smoky. Cons: if youre looking for peace and quiet, this might not be it. Lots of ATV trails around, so you could usually hear motors running. Our neighbors were quite loud, and the kids were running around and screaming before 7am. Site #9 is nice to have the trail to the beach, but people from other sites also wanted to use our path. We didnt mind too much, but there were a few people entering our site to get to the lake. Overall, still a 5 star experience.

@Danielle424313 · Camped on Jul 28, 2023 at Campsite #24

I would give zero stars if possible. I booked spot 24. We have a 23 ft travel trailer and this spot was rated for a 30 ft trailer. We weren't about to back into this spot. There was no way it was big enough for a 23 ft trailer. The site was also very narrow and had about a 20 ft drop off. The roadways were narrow and when we tried to go around the loop to get out of the campground, there was a golf cart in the middle belonging to the camp host. The camp host was argumentative and not very accommodating. We ended up driving 3 more hours trying to find any place to camp

@CraigS2150196 · Camped on Jul 18, 2023 at Campsite #25

Prepare for mosquitos before August

@BrinaB4AFAB839 · Camped on Jul 14, 2023 at Campsite #3

We had an amazing time! The campground was full over the weekend, but everyone was respectful.Wish people didn't run generators all night, but otherwise perfect place.

@LiamC2BCF9B1C7 · Camped on Jul 12, 2023 at Campsite #32

Great campground with good amenities and large campsites!

@JohnS6889697 · Camped on Jul 8, 2023 at Campsite #22

We enjoyed Big Lake campground very much. Our camper looked out on the lake and Mount Washington. Despite a number of ATVs and motorcycles in the campground, none were racing around or revving their engines. The space was large and there was a path from our campsite that went down to the lake. We loved seeing so much bear grass in bloom. Our only issue was an off-leash dog that ran toward at menacingly barked at our leashed cat while taking a walk. The owner wouldn't come and grab her animal. I was happy my cat didn't scratch me after I picked her up to get away from the dog.

@LoisR72A69EFA8 · Camped on Jul 7, 2023 at Campsite #19

This campground was beautiful and spacious! We can’t wait to come back here! There were lots of mosquitos, so next time we will bring more bug spray!

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
