About this campground
Set in the heart of the Big River State Forest just over 1 hour east of Marysville, this shady campground and day visitor area is next to the Big River.
The day visitor area is the perfect spot for picnics and taking a dip in the large watering hole. Once you get to the day visitor area, follow the road over the bridge where the site opens to a large camping area along the Big River.
The campground is suitable for tent-based camping or camper trailers. Pit toilet facilities are available and you can easily access the river nearby for swimming, fishing or paddling.
