Big Pines is the largest BLM campground in the Yakima River Canyon with 40+ paved, level sites suitable for RVs and tents, featuring a boat launch and direct river access for fishing and non-motorized boating.
The campground offers vault toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables, but has no potable water or hookups; reservations are available May 1-September 15 through recreation. gov at $15/night.
