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.

Nice little "walk-in" site (barely any walk). Well maintained. Had a couple deer walk through in the morning. Mostly RVs and campers at other sites but you won't feel out of place in just a tent. There is some road and rail noise in the morning, but not terrible. Even had enough cell service for shooting off a couple texts.

I've been going here for 25 years, even before the big flood. I've noticed the pavement on the sites are crumbling because there isn't enough gravel to hold up the shoulders. I'd hate to see expense pavement go to waste because of a lack of cheep 5/8ths minus. Bathrooms were clean and stayed that way all weekend. Garbage cans never filled up. Had a great time.

I always enjoy boondocking when we take the right gear - plenty of water is essential. This year the weather was relatively mild and we rafted, fished, biked and hiked. Good fun with friends and family.

Our reservation was given away to another camper and we had to go to another campsite to find a spot.

The campground was very nice! The actual site was very good too! The tent area was sandy and river rocky, but we were able to get tent anchors in. It was quiet overnight except for a train or two across the river. The toilets and grounds were clean and well kept. Quite an enjoyable experience!
