Big Creek
Overview
Big Creek is a campground with campsites. Guest reviews describe it as a roadside campground with individual campsites and a creek running through the camp area.
Reviewers report a creek running through the campsites and note that the access road ends at the campground; beyond that point reviewers said 4x4 vehicles are required. One reviewer described the access road as being in good condition while also wishing for more signs earlier on to confirm the route. Several comments mention daytime heat when the sun is out and that a canopy provides comfortable shade, while nights were reported to cool down and not be uncomfortably cold in July. Reviewers also noted low occupancy on weeknights in July, reporting they had the place to themselves, and one account referenced catching a couple trout. Other reported observations include glassing livestock high in the mountains and references to the “high desert,” along with a reviewer remarking on the area’s visual appeal.
Overall, available reviews present Big Creek as a quiet campground with a creek through the site, limited signage on the approach, mixed notes about road conditions and vehicle requirements beyond the campground, daytime heat with cooler nights in midsummer, and instances of solitude and fishing reported by visitors.
