Biggs Springs is a Forest Service campground in the Paulina Ranger District of Oregon's Ochoco National Forest. It sits in the high country, and the nearest town is Paulina, about 16 miles away. The site has vault toilets, and no fees are required to use it. That makes it a simple base for an overnight stay in the forest, with no cost to set up camp. Summer is the warmest stretch. Typical averages from the nearby Paulina weather station show July highs around 89°F with lows near 45°F, while September cools to highs near 79°F. That station sits about 1,100 feet lower than the campground, so temperatures at Biggs Springs run cooler. Line Butte Trail #807 is about 4 miles away, and the North Fork Crooked River offers canoeing about 5 miles off. Cold Springs Cabin and Deep Creek are both campgrounds within about 10 miles.
