What Guests Are Saying
Big Pines Campground offers a beautiful and well-maintained setting along the Yakima River, with spacious sites and excellent access for river activities and nearby hiking. Guests appreciate the clean restrooms and the serene environment, ideal for birdwatching and fishing. However, some visitors noted issues with train noise, site reservation mix-ups, and a lack of privacy due to close campsite proximity.

Great campground-- windy (but that's no surprise) and occasional train noise from the tracks across the river. But a beautiful, quiet area with may birds and great nearby hiking.

This was my first time visiting the canyon and it was such a cool ecosystem. This campground was conveniently located if you want to explore the full canyon, but a bit of a haul if you intend to be primarily on one end or the other. The walk in sites were awesome - a very short walk in for a much more secluded feel.

Initially reserved a campsite for a Thursday. Plans changed and I went it to reserve a Friday PM. Was required to pay for both a Friday AND SATURDAY. I did not want, or need, or use a full weekend reservation.

I camped one night and would have liked a second because i loved my site but it was booked the rest of the week. It was one of the only ones with shade on a fairly hot few days. But you can have views up to the hills to almost any campsite or at the picnic tables. I imagine you have to keep vegetation down for fire safety but it means no privacy ir shade in most. However: the river access/boat ramp was good, restrooms amd trash facilities were clean and easy to get to. I would visit again, enjoyed this opportunity to experience Yakima Canyon.
