It was full during our stay – highly recommend advanced reservations; very popular for access to Sisters, Redmond, Bend in high desert of Central Oregon. We’ve camped here regularly over several years and never disappointed
Most recent stay was 6/13/16 - I'm "late" in posting my review ~ We camp in a "Tear Drop” style RV only 15' long w/o toilet or shower ~ plus we like to eat outdoors using the picnic table and set up our dining canopy for sun and weather protection and thus rely on condition of campgrounds facilities and being nearby our site ~ so our critique is focused in that area.
We did get close to restroom/hot shower building w/dishwashing station – this campground is well laid out with restrooms placed in middle of loops and sites circle all around for easy access. Showers are unisex private individual rooms + changing area with lockable door. Showers were clean full on tiled walls and floors w/hooks + shelves for your stuff and wall bench for seating. Not cramped at all and good water pressure and spray. Community restrooms and sinks are in another part of building.
Just awesome park for smaller RV’s up to 35’?, and tents with sturdy picnic table + fire pit + paved roadways + asphalt RV pads. Both full hook-ups and dry-camp. Some sites could be problem for the Big Rigs be sure to check site lengths.
Only 1 CON: No rv dump or potable water fill station. Find one at Creekside Municipal Campground in Sisters for a small fee $10.00

Most recent stay 4-28-16 [I’m late on writing my review] ~ We camp in a "Tear Drop” style RV only 15' long w/o toilet or shower and thus rely on condition of campgrounds facilities and this National Park Campground is w/o the amenities of other private or some state campgrounds ~ BUT they do have a water fill / dump station on site and restroom with flush toilets and sinks [no hot water no electricity] that being said we still loved the true “camping” experience. Ran on battery power and propane for cooking and frig.
Excellent large site with asphalt pad, sturdy picnic table, water spigot 50’ away and roomy site with green-way between and not close or tight against any of neighbor sites. Had plenty of room for our dinning fly shelter ~ could have added a tent even with our rv - campground is located at most southern end of park ~ 1st come 1st served and we had no problem selecting site ~ take 45 min to drive through park to reach other “attractions” and campgrounds of the most popular “northern” end. Lot’s of pull out and points of interest along the way, you won’t miss a thing.
About a 15 degree temp change difference between south and north – warmer on the south end. Best to camp during spring or fall – summertime it can get very hot. Pitch black at night – you’ll be amazed at how many stars you can see – absolutely a sight to behold. The peace the absolute quiet was incredible.
Lots of pictures taken by previous reviewer Evergreengirl sums it up - we added a couple extra of our own.

Most recent stay was June 23rd thru June 26th 2017 - I'm "late" in posting my review ~ We camp in a "Tear Drop” style RV only 15' long w/o toilet or shower ~ plus we like to eat outdoors using the picnic table and set up our dining canopy for sun and weather protection and thus rely on condition of campgrounds facilities and being nearby our site ~ so our critique is focused in that area
We had reservations in Big Meadow Campground [recommended] and did get close to the restroom with flush toilets and warm water sinks[several placed throughout the camp] but showers [private lockable rooms] were further away; the only one in camp at the entrance. Restrooms were cleaned twice a day [am/pm] but showers once daily [am] and they ran out of hot water every night due to full campground; best to take showers early am and bring extra quarters – in case you can’t finish in allotted time. Each shower had bench and hooks for towel and clothes but no rubber mats to keep feet dry when toweling off. Overall still a good experience using both facilities
Campsite B107 was a paved dry camp [no hookups] but potable water was close by. Best thing about government campgrounds is the sites are roomy, and private with wide grassy greenspaces between neighboring sites. Had nice shade trees all around to ward off summer heat, but still somewhat sunny Big Meadow is a great location for a base camp as you explore the park [its very large] to hike the many trails – including the Appalachian Trail which runs through it and be sure to visit the several visitors centers to gather more information of things to do. Don’t miss driving Skyline Drive taking advantage of pulling off the side of the road at the many overlooks and don’t miss the lodge. A camping trip to the Shenandoah is a perfect place to get away from the typical tourist traps laced with commercialism if you want to unwind turn off the phone and enjoy nature along with the peaceful solitude it has to offer.

Most recent stay was Mother’s Day Weekend May 7 – 9, 2021 ~ We camp in a Little Rig "Tear Drop” style RV w/o toilet or shower ~ plus we like to eat outdoors using the picnic table and set up our dining canopy for sun and weather protection and thus rely on condition of campgrounds facilities and being nearby our site ~ so our critique is focused in that area
OMG! This place gets the highest rating in all areas. Restroom/shower building is immaculate; bright and sparkling clean. The staff keeps it that way with regular cleaning. needed some TLC and showed its wear lacking general maintenance. Had air dryers for hands, but wished for paper towels in restroom area for clean-up (realize it is statewide).
Individual uni-sex showers with hot water and good pressure fully tiled. Very nice design feature was a separator “pony” wall between the changing area with built in bench and shower stall with soap dish. Kept the water spray away from the changing alcove / stayed dry for toweling off. Ample wall hooks – other parks / campgrounds should use this design as a model for perfect showering experience
The grounds are well kept and all sites cleaned / raked after use ready for next camper. Most all sites have full hook-ups, are all level and are roomy with wide greenspace between sites. All have gravel pads with large picnic table and fire pit ring. will accommodate a variety of dinning/shade canopies on the gravel area only metal stake will work. All interior roads are paved easy access for all sized rigs. Separate walk-in tenting area plus a tent allowed with an RV on site. Hiking/biking trails everywhere – even has pumped air on trail for bikes if needed. And it has a disk golf course right in the campground

Most recent stay was 05-12-2016 (I’m late on my reviews) We camp in a "Tear Drop” style RV only 15' long w/o toilet or shower ~ plus we like to eat outdoors using the picnic table & set up our dining fly for sun/ weather protection so we rely on condition of campgrounds facilities being nearby our site ~ so our critique is focused in that area.
We did get close to restroom/shower roomy very clean and modern w/full on tiled walls and floors w/secure private stalls and changing area. Lots of hooks for stuff, padded bench folds against wall in changing area. Good water pressure and hot. Only wish for a small shelf for stuff and rubber floors mats as you step out of shower. Need hooks and shelves in sink/vanity area.
High ratings well deserved for modern restrooms & facilities, paved roadways, and all level paved sites which do not crowd your neighbor. Large pull through spaces, nice LEVEL picnic table with metal plate on 1 end for camp stove.
CONS did not like Astro turf could not set up out dining fly over table. Sewer connect w/concrete surround encroaches neighbor site Definitely a Big Rig park, but ok for little rig overnight stay and not suitable for tents .

We reserved site 82 (a long pull-thru site) through Reserve America, an easy process; had a 30 amp electrical and water hookup. There is a dump station on site at the top of the hill as you exit the park. Campground set up in an oval loop with rv sites on the outside and restroom/shower building in the middle – easy access. Green grass and shade trees everywhere, an open and airy campground with ample room between sites – no crowding here. Well cared for, grass was cut, trees provided ample shade, paved roadways and site pads. Each site has a nice aluminum picnic table and fire pit and all sites good sized – a very relaxing atmosphere. RV dump station at the top of the hill when exiting is easy to access and use. Restroom/shower building needed some TLC and showed its wear lacking general maintenance. It was clean inside but it ended there. Would have rated this park a 5 star but because of the lack of maintenance in the restroom/shower building it gets a 3 star.

Our site 61 was close to restroom/shower building, a modern newer facility but typical government with painted cement block walls and cement floor. Restrooms had separate entrance from showers which were large private individual rooms with a shower stall, toilet, and sink. This campground is operated and maintained by Fairfax County with a camp host on site. Cleaning of restroom/shower done every morning but appeared it was only a partial cleaning at best with hosing down the floors and maybe that’s all – see my photos – was like that all 5 days of our stay. The walls were high but open ceiling with exposed rafters – I suppose for improving ventilation, but it didn’t help much because there was no air movement; stuffy after the shower.
Also drainage problem in all showers, leaving standing water on the floor after shower but there were no rubber mats to stand when toweling off and paper towels that could have been used to help clean up after using the sinks which remained messy.
Our site W&E only was in hot sun – no shade trees – other sites had some shade but campground was fully reserved because of holiday (4th of July) and we couldn’t move. Was a good base camp for taking day trips exploring Washington DC. We learned how to navigate public transportation taking Metrorail at Wiehle Station in Reston [close by 10 min drive] to Union Station Washington DC city center. It's highly recommend instead of driving to DC in extremely heavy traffic and then good luck trying to find a parking lot.

After reading all other reviews, we agreed with them all and also rated this a 5 star campground. I did not want to duplicate the pictures taken by others, or even comments about surrounding area so I focused on and added pictures of the restroom/shower facility which is very important to us because we camped here in a tear drop trailer w/o toilet/shower and we depend on their facilities. Very important to us to get a site close to restroom and is reason we reserve ahead but here we had to pay a $10.00 res fee so the $40.00 rate included the fee. Otherwise nightly rate is $30.00 which is not expensive for what you get. The restrooms are very clean and modern with full tile walls and floors. Each has a private shower room that includes a dressing area with bench and hooks for your stuff. Shower itself has soap tray and very hot water with full spray and good water pressure. This could be a model facility for other county - state - and even private campgrounds to follow. To access the restroom and sinks, you must exit the shower to the outside and enter the restroom through another outside door. Summary ~ agreed with other review, there isn't a bad campsite anywhere in The Point; very picturesque and quiet (we camped end of April 2016) and nice place to just relax in a camp chair ~ if that suits your fancy.
So those are all the PROS
CONS ~ wish they had hooks and shelves next to the sinks for your "stuff" like a hand towel jackets etc.. wish they had rubber floor mat for your feet in shower room . . . wish they had a sign at the Day Use Area that directed you to The Point Campground ~ there is a Campground sign but its for a different (older) section of the campground and not actually The Point. Note Registered campers do not pay the $4.00 entrance fee that is posted.

We were across the road from the restroom/shower building, which was set up with 12 unisex private rooms each with shower, sink, and toilet ~ Like your bathroom at home! ~ All rooms have tiled floors, knotty pine walls, good ventilation with modern updated fixtures. Very clean and well taken care of [saw them cleaned twice per day morning and evening] only wish they had more hooks for your towel and clothes, a bench would have been nice, and rubber floor mat for wet feet when you exit the shower~ add all that and it gets a 5 star.
Campground itself is rustic [we’re in Wyoming and is expected] well kept very clean & maintained w/gravel interior roads and level site pads w/ a picnic table and fire ring among the trees for needed shade and sparse grassy areas except nice grassy area for tenters next to creek. Some cabins for rent, plus a small lodge style motel. No swimming pool or onsite activities for children. It’s called a resort, but really is a nice RV Park and campground that is close to small quaint western style town [Dubois] w/good restaurants and shopping. It could be a base camp – at lower rates – for the Grand Teton National Park and Jackson WY recreation area; be prepared for at least 1 ½ - 2 hour travel time

THREE ISLAND CROSSING STATE PARK CAMPGROUND – GLENS FERRY, ID 08-16-2019 $44.22
Excellent municipal park – quiet – among the trees and lots of green grass

Restroom/shower building needed some TLC and showed its wear lacking general maintenance. It was clean inside but it ended there. Would have rated this park a 5 star but because of the lack of maintenance in the restroom/shower building it gets a 3 star. Very dark and dim inside - needed the light bulbs replaced and another light fixture would have helped. No hooks at the communal sink area for your hand towel or other stuff. The bench in ADA shower stall in the communal room was in the down / locked position and would not raise up against the wall - difficult to take a shower. The faucets on the sinks are metered push down type but would not stay on when pressed down. Let go of the faucet and it shuts off. Hard to soap up and then wash your hands, Could not get warm/hot water. There is a separate/private ADA shower room that you enter by a operate door on the the outside of the building. It has a sink, toilet and shower. The shower head remained in the down position and when turned on washed your feet / not your hair or body - would not stay in the up position. Light-bulb outside the men's room needed replacing - very dark at night
