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.

The site was nice with direct access to the water. Despite some early morning noise disturbance from a couple passing through, the rest of our stay was nice and enjoyable.

Had I known the Yakima River Canyon was one of the most beautiful places on Earth, I would have planned more days there. As it is, I spent one glorious night on the edge of the river! I worried a bit when a train ran a few times during the day that my sleep would be disrupted, but it did not run that night. And, my spot was right next to the boat ramp so, while I enjoyed watching a few adventurers coming and going during my arrival afternoon, it was otherwise quiet. What a beautiful place! The river sounds were a lullaby that brought on a good night's rest and the hikes I took with my dog in the area, and at the river, were totally breathtaking. I highly recommend the area and these well cared for sites and amenities.
