What Guests Are Saying
Big Creek Campground offers a beautiful and quiet camping experience near Mt. Rainier, with clean facilities and friendly camp hosts. The sites provide good privacy due to ample foliage, and many reviewers highlighted the spaciousness and cleanliness of the bathrooms. While some sites are near vault toilets or have limited shade, the overall atmosphere and access to hiking trails make it a desirable spot for families and nature lovers.

Beautiful site! If you have an RV, make sure you have “dumped and filled” before arriving. The closest dump and water site is about 12 or so miles away. There are a few primitive water spigots around the circle for drinking water. The toilets are only pit toilets with no lights! The sites are beautiful , roomy, private, and shaded!

Excellent campsite. Site #11 is quiet, spacious for our 6 people tent and near water faucet. Both bathrooms are clean and no odor. Camp host is really nice. The campsite is 20 minutes from the national park’s entrance and 40 minutes from paradise.

We arrived a bit late and didn’t spend much time in this site, but overall it was a nice campground. A small note that site 26 is right next to the vault toilet and was a bit smelly near where we parked our car, but not neat the tend pad. The tent pad is set back from the loop which is nice, but we did hear a lot of noise from the nearby road and dogs barking from houses nearby.

Was a great campground. Hosts made their rounds like clockwork, vault toilets were clean. The only complaint I have is that there was a group camped next to and across from us who didn't keep their pack of dogs leashed and which was constantly running after other campers, their dogs, and barking at them. It made me have to be ever more vigilant when I should have been relaxed, but there were always 3-4 dogs running up and down the road barking at people. Also, the people at that camp left all of their food stuff out overnight and while they were gone for a few hours, putting other campers in danger from wild scavengers.

We had a pull-through site that was very spacious and felt very private. Would definitely stay here again.
