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.

The campground messed up our reservation on their end, cutting our trip very short.

The campground was quiet in a beautiful forest. There was alot of room between sites for privacy. The campground host was really helpful and made up for the problems we encountered with recreation.gov.

A wonderful and beautiful campground. Well attended too with plenty of shade for those hot June/July days. I can't wait to take my family back to Big Creek.

This is a great little campground. The first 6 sites are all on the creek, but 1-3 have very little privacy. We stayed in site #13, one of the smallest ones in the campground. We had to makeshift a spot for a second tent and got stung by the overgrown nettles, blackberry and salmonberry in the process. We'll book #10 if we come back, as it's much bigger. The grounds haven't been maintained since COVID. Lots of fallen trees on the trail to the creek, but once we got down there it was beautiful. Hardly any mosquitoes to speak of, just a few nats.

A very plush, quiet campgrounds. Rustic, but the bathrooms were clean. Trailhead right at the park, with Mt. Rainier Nat'l Park a few minutes away. And the park host was a great guy!
