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.

We went over to do rafting, which we did for 3 days. We got the campsite we like, and it was very peaceful. Umtanum is very quiet, with no loud partying like other sites. The only drawback was that we couldn't have a campfire. We did bring our propane fire pit, so we were prepared.

First night, we occupied site 1 at Big Pines - a lovely campsite, but neighboring camper had small tents erected all over his site, and very close to our camper. Next night, we were booked to occupy site 6 at Big Pines - turned out that the site was very unattractive, and we were lead to believe it was a "river view site", which is not correct. We informed campground host that we were leaving and that the site would be availablrfor that day.

We had 2 spots for 4 nights it was so much fun. We were right on the river. We floated it several times our dogs got to go too. Only one night of people having a party after hours but it was no big deal. We will definitely be going again.
