Great home base to explore big pine Lakes. We camped at campsite 16. Wonderful site away from the smelly restroom and close to the creek. Ate like a king slept like a baby

This campground is fine. The sites are small and really close together. Not a lot of privacy. The sites are also very rocky and it’s hard to find level spots for tents. The bathroom was pretty well maintained and there is a fresh water spigot you can use. It’s a great spot for a short stay if you’re planning on doing some hiking nearby.

Everything was great except the fire pit. It is so tall that cooking food over the fire requires a ton of wood. I stacked rocks and boulders in the pit so I wouldn’t have to use so much wood.

Wonderful location. Quiet and near the Big Pine Lakes trailhead.

Nice campground near the famous Big Pine Creek trail. They have bear-safe lockers, washing faucets, and sitting bench. The sound of the creek is really loud. The price for an overnight stay is $27.

Great campsite near some good long hiking trails. If you're by the road expect full sun, so bring a shade or similar if you're planning on being there in the afternoon in summer. Also, bees. There are bees. However, there's also bear bins, fire pits with grates, and firewood for purchase.

Well kept campground with a mix of sites in sun and shade. Sites along the stream are more shaded than those away from it. The campground is only a mile from the trailhead. We'll definitely camp here again.
