I spent one night out at Big Creek Campground.I mostly loved it. My only complaint is that some of the camp sites were a little close to each other. Next time I camp there - I will know a little better about which camp site to pick. Other than that - I have no complaints. The bathroom was nice. The waterfall was flowing. The stars were beautiful. I liked the fact that it was a tent only campground. I made a fire and that was really nice too. Anyway - I would definitely camp at Big Creek Campground again.

One of my very favorite campsites. Third time staying there, and I will be back again. Thank you?

Wonderful camping sight. Swimming at Midnight Hole is fun and just a short hike. White water rafting close by if you are adventurous.

Good site, very quiet. The road to the campground has deep potholes

Lovely spot to primitive camp. Creek nearby plus water pump available. Each site has a tent pad and a fire ring with grill plus a lantern pole and a picnic table. Plenty of downed wood for fire and please don’t bring your own unless it’s marked OK to do so. No electricity which suits us just fine and a short walk to site as must park in the lot. Clean bathrooms but no showers. We love this campground and will definitely be back when they open again next season. Met Ranger Spence and he was delightful to chat with. So grateful for our National Park Service (NPS) and all the wonderful memories we get to create. :)

The campground is great. However, it seems we need to be prepared for folks who insist on hanging lights throughout their campsite - ugh.

Amazing campground. I LOVED it. The trails near by are beautiful. Also, being able to hear the river felt amazing. Totally recommend this place.

This is a gorgeous tent only campground in a remote part of the park. You do have to park in a lot and there is a very short walk to the sites. There were kind people who helped with loading and unloading. My site was near the creek side and I loved the sound of the roaring river. The nearby trails hadsome stunning views. The peace and beauty of this campsite made this a very special trip. Bathrooms were clean. There is a food storage area and bear proof dumpster. Loved having coffee in the morning and listening to the river, surrounded by ancient trees. Another camper remarked that this was " like a cathedral" and I think that is accurate.

The reservation process was easy. The campground was great - clean and convenient. Nice walks and playing in the creek. The park volunteers that visited were very helpful.
