Very nice RV Park. Clean and staff was awesome. Spots are large enough for 40+ RV's but try to get in the trees. It's a drive to Bend but it is still a great place. Downfall is the highway near by. Still a great place to stay. Stop in and see Bruce, stay awhile and check out the surroundings.
To be transparent, I did not stay at this park. I did however call ahead and ask the rates for filling and dumping waters. $10 was what the gentleman quoted. I was assured this was for both services (dumping my RV’s gray and black, and filling with potable water). Once at Big Pines, to my surprise and sadness a gentlewoman said it was now $10 per service. I explained that her colleague quoted me half that cost two days prior. Blank faced, she asked what I’d like to do. With no nearby alternatives, I paid the $20 and left.
Some might not like the location. Pretty rural, but about halfway between Bend, OR and Crater Lake National Park. In our travels of the local area, the location was perfect for us. Spacious well laid out lots with shade. Great place to walk the dogs, and the shower house was one of the best. Privately owned and the grounds are well taken care of. Lots of pine trees to provide shade. Bend and Crater Lake were an hour drive. The best campground we saw in the area.
Nice clean public restrooms, laundromat, and showers, open 24 hours, friendly staff at all hours day or night, just pull up and honk. EV Charging allowed, long term rental spaces, and overnight truck parking and they even have cabins
If you have ever spent anytime at RV Parks you will know there are good ones, bad ones, and great ones. Big Pines is a Great one, Tina is the Site Manager and she is the nicest and always makes you feel at home.
I spent one season (May to October) at their RV rental site and it was a great experience and probably my favorite campground to date. Showers are clean and well maintained, the sites are clean and well maintained and everyone is friendly and welcoming. The 2 on-site washer and dryers are both clean and work well.
The common area has a bunch of board games, puzzles, kids toys and a couple arcade games which my son loved while I did laundry.
Just a short walk (depending on your location in the park) there is a really nice little creek beside the park that you can have your dogs or kids play in and right before that is a large kids playground with swings and a sandbox that will keep your kids having fun all summer long.
Location is perfect as it is so close to mainstreet, and Ace hardware for any RV needs. Very quiet park overall and everyone who came through was always friendly.
Really nice park overall. Only recommendation I would say is invest in a mosquito net to save you while you are enjoying your time outside. At night around 9pm the mosquitoes come out in full force and you do not want to be outside without some sort of screening.
