We arrived last weekend for a group river float and stayed for 3 days/2 nights. Of the 3 walk-to sites, Site A was closet to the river however had the most sandy, uneven and prickly-bush ground. Hard to find flat ground for our tent. Next year we will be choosing Site B, as it was the most spacious, had plenty of solid, even ground to set up a tent and pop-up canopy. and had the best view in my opinion. Pros: We put our floats in at Umtanum and floated 4 hours down the river (we had 5 kids or it would have only taken 3 hours), and we ended up right back at the shore of our camp site. Having a semi-private spot at our site to access the river was nice. The other campers respected quiet hours and we had no trouble with excess noise. The views are amazing! My eyes couldnt believe the beauty of the canyon. Cons: Noise from the train in the early morning hours, the bathrooms were VERY stinky but not sure how that would be avoided. I was also surprised by no sink in the bathroom. Which brings me to no running water whatsoever. The ground at our campsite was extremely prickly and sharp, no walking without shoes. The bushes popped the tires of every single bike we had (all 4 bikes)! The stickers were no joke. The bugs. They are terrible at night and very attracted to light. The bugs may change with the season? Not sure.Overall we will definitely be staying at Big Pines again. If this is your first time be aware that this is very primitive campground. No power, running water, cell service, etc.

Fantastic! And the camp host was friendly, too. Be prepared for wind and sun!
