Biking enthusiasts will find easy access to trails throughout the Strawberry Range from this Forest Service campground along Big Creek. The $8 sites feature water and sewer hookups with easy back-in access for RVs, plus standard amenities including picnic tables, fire pits, and clean pit toilets.
Big Creek runs high with snowmelt through late spring, creating habitat for grouse that perform their distinctive wing-flapping mating displays from nearby fallen logs. The campground tends to stay quiet during mid-May visits, making it a functional base for extended stays and exploration of surrounding trails. Campers can access additional pet-friendly campsites near Malheur National Forest for longer itineraries in the area.
