Big Bear River Resort

The river had flooded due to recent rain but came down enough for us to float. They took us to the drop-in location & got our raft in & ready for us. River was moving well but not bad, we enjoyed every minute!! Take out was good they were right there took care of everything & Michelle gave us a ride back up to our cabin ❤️ everyone was very friendly and very helpful!! Can't wait to do it again. I definitely love Big Bear River Resort!! Love how welcoming Michelle & her team are very family-friendly! We camped in the Camper last year 2024 & they made us feel like family. This year, we did a cabin it was very clean & they had everything we needed to cook with & the bathrooms have bath towels! We stayed in the Paddington, and it even has a washer & dryer!! Definitely plan on doing it again!!

I’ve been comming to the niangua river for over 30 years and big bear is the best experience by far! Camp spots are nice n shady with a shower house close by that’s kept clean and nice hot free showers! Whether you’re staying during the busy season or slightly off-season, the owners make sure everything goes well and you’re taking care of. I always pick big bear campground!

Had a great time!!! Nice place to camp and enjoy the river. Went in a week day so it would be a little more quiet and relaxing. Took the eight mile float and had a great time. The owner is so very nice and accommodating. Will definitely go back!

We stayed in the little cabins and it was much better than tent camping especially since it rained. You get enough room for our family of 3 to sleep comfortably, 2 beds, microwave, mini fridge, little front porch, air conditioning. The bathrooms are at the main office house not too far, decently kept, only thing is there are only curtains not doors on stalls and my husband felt awkward. We got to float on Wednesday and it was a very nice day. It was quiet there as expected on a Mon-Wed trip. Not sure how it is on weekends. Much less trash seen around than NRO last year. The owners or people we met who ran the place seemed like nice people. I would suggest maybe put a cheap broom on the little cabins porch because dirt tracks up there easy. Thanks for the good time. Hope this place continue

Really enjoyed our visit. Spent time by the river and floating. Lots of shade, nice showers. Owners Michelle and Ronny and staff were very accommodating and friendly. One suggestion I would make, more signage at the entrance/further on Corkery Rd. to ensure that you are headed the right direction. Had a great time and will return!
