Big Bend Campground
Reviewed May. 29, 2022

Riverside rest

This is the first campground after descending from the Prineville Reservoir.  It is the only campground of the several along this section of the Crooked River with a campground host and water.  The water came from a hand pump, something you cannot use to fill and RV as it spurts and sputters like any well pump and you cannot fit a hose to the wide nozzle.  There are two water faucets in the campground, but during my visit before Memorial Day, they were not working.  The best place to get potable water and dump is the Crook County RV Park just 20 minutes down the road on the outskirts of Prineville.  Very nice site, dump fee $10 by credit card, potable water $5 (free with dump).  One of the few dump sites with a threaded hose allowing my to use my black tank flush.

Verizon service rare to none.
