Willamette National Forest holds Big Pool Campground along Fall Creek, a forested site managed by the US Forest Service with direct water access. The campground runs from late April through mid-September and accepts drive-in and boat-in arrivals, though the 14-foot RV limit makes it a better fit for smaller rigs and tent campers. It sits on the quieter end of its road corridor. Amenities are modest: firewood is available on-site, trash service is provided, and pets are welcome, making it a reasonable base for those interested in pet-friendly camping near Willamette National Forest. Nearby options include Broken Bowl Campground less than a mile to the southwest.
Description
Big Pool is a small, shady, five site campground situated between Forest Service Road 18 and Fall Creek. Expect heavy use during summer weekends.
