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.

Big Pine with gravel was a lot cleaner. As Roza was dirty camping area.
Would be nice if it was gravel in the picnic areas.

Of all the National Forest campsites we have visited, this is, by far, the most beautiful and well-maintained. The hosts here, Anita and Mike, just do an exceptional job of keeping the campsites immaculately maintained...and they are quite friendly, to boot! The trails are beautiful and have interesting placards regarding the forest's timeline while still being rustic enough to make one feel like one is really taking a hike...and not just at a museum. The Big Pines is well worth the drive and a beautiful place to stay.

Many campsites were out in the blazing 100 degree heat and full sun, no effort to plant ponderosa pines to help shade the campsites. I looked at a the site and left for a shaded campsite.
