A great campground, clean and nicely laid out. Very good spots for vehicles with tents, and several very suitable for small trailers or RVs. Notably, when you enter the driveway you are actually entering a separate RV trailer campground. Drive through that, heading back East, and you will find a Park Service sign indicating you've come to the correct part and correct campground.

Beautiful, special place next to a river. Hiking access to some of the best views around with the Big Pine Lakes and the glacier. Non smelly pit toilets and I think the store is open now. Sleeping at 7700' MSL. Store is open. Update: no bears have been seen yet this year at the campground per host. showers are $7 at lodge - you bring the supplies. New photo.

Big Pine Lakes is a beautiful trail. It's well marked and clean. The trail is considered hard. around June or July, the trail is covered with lush vegetation and wild flowers. Being out in nature and being mesmerized by mother nature beauty the trek becomes more bearable. Especially once you reach the lakes, the long challenging trek is well worth it. It's about 15 miles to all the 7 lakes and 8-10 hours, depending on your pace.

Beautiful campground very close to an amazing trailhead and on Big Pine Creek. Pit toilets and no water, so come prepared. This was campsite #14. It was nestled in a nice patch of trees that felt very private, with a short walk to the creek.

Absolutely gorgeous campsite. Wanted to get away from the chaos of the city and this is certainly the place! Camping is in a first come, first serve basis. There is a kiosk when you arrive with envelopes to insert the nightly fee (bring cash!). The campground manager lives on site in an RV near the front. Each site also comes with a firepit that includes a removable grill for cooking. There is a creek the runs right next to the campsite and our site was a minute walk from it. The sites gather into the campground are nicely spread apart, so you are not right next to your neighbor. There is a great hiking trail about a 5 minute walk from the grounds. The photos surreal for themselves. Will definitely be visiting again. Oh and speaking of away from the city- this place is definitely off the grid. No cell service!
