Big Scrub is an open field next to OHV trails. We stayed Th-Su. There was only one other camper when we arrived and no OHVs. The bathrooms were clean with showers and hot water.

Overall Rating

Even on a holiday weekend this campground was almost empty. It’s really set up for off roading. It’s a huge open field with three trees. Lots of sand and dust. No trails. The bathhouse was clean and the showers were hot. No electricity anywhere. It’s a long dirt road in and out.
