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.

It was a lot windier than I had anticipated, but it was a very pleasant weekend trip. Another thing to remember: it's very likely to be full sunlight all day. Don't forget sun protection (for instance, I forgot a hat!)

We were able to reserve our favorite site. The weather was better than expected. We filled our holding tank after 3 days and it would have been nice to be able to empty them eventually at a rest stop.
Looking forward for another visit.

It was a wonderful spot to just unwind. It had 1 trail open, but to me the highlight was that there were people playing music who were heading to the Blue Grass Festival in Goldendale. It's a nice clean spot though. However, would not reccomend if you are looking to constantly be doing an outdoor activity. Also, had ALOT of RV's. I was camping in a tent.

My only request is that we had to do a first come first serve on a friday of a weekend in the first week of May. it was stressful to just get one spot and then had to move to our "weekend" reserved spot for the saturday and sunday and monday of the following week. I get May1 MAY may be convenient for the calendars but we were feeling like a domino on Saturday morning at the camp ground.
