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.

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.

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!

Awsome campground. It is on the Big Pine Creek with many sites adjacent to the river. All sites have access to the river and some amazing views of the mountains. The sites are pretty expensive at $24/night. Most have to be booked online but some are first come first served. We arrived without a reservation and still got a great site for 3 nights. Sites have plenty of room for 2 medium sized tents. There's a firepit with grill and a bear box at each site. There is shared water located in many places around the campground but it wasn't working. There is fire wood for sale at $8/bundle which is reasonable. There is another private campground which has a general store and has an great barbeque on Saturday evening which I highly recommend.

Might be one of my favorite campgrounds now. An “Off the Grid” campground. There is zero cell service. There is also no potable water... BUT, there is river, so if you have a filtration system, it’s perfect. The campsite itself seams almost so far off the grid they have forgot about it. The paved roads are pretty bad, but we didn’t mind because the campground was still so awesome! The bathrooms were very clean. We went in early October so it was very quiet and also very cold at night. You are at the bottom of the Big Pine Lakes trail, so that’s easy to get to. They are a dog friendly campground and did allow camp fires. Keep in mind the spots are small, we have a travel trailer so we fit in the most spots easy!
