Big Bend Campground
44.1118, -120.7947
Fly-fishers and floaters who can arrive early enough to grab a riverbank site will find this hard to beat. Spring and fall are the sweet spot for temps. Bring your own water regardless, since the spigots are unreliable even when they're supposed to be on.
Larger trailers will struggle; reviewers say only a couple of sites can fit a trailer with a tow vehicle comfortably. No hookups, no flush toilets, no cell signal, and potable water that can't be counted on makes this a bad fit for anyone who needs basic reliability.

Spring and fall deliver moderate temperatures and the fewest visitors. Summer heat pushes into the 80s, making the river essential for cooling off, though potable water runs only during warmer months and spigots can be unreliable even then. Winter camping drops into the 30s with solitude and frost along the riverbanks. Bring extra water in hot months regardless of season. Year-round access is available.
Spring brings moderate temps and good fishing in some years; potable water season begins in warmer months.
