Big Pine Campground

Don’t take google maps or Apple maps. We carefully followed the directions in a previous review. Worked perfectly. Just stay on Fish Creek road and you will be fine.

The spots are small and basically require you to back in. We have a full size F250 and 30 ft Airstream so we opted out.

Went back up the gravel road and found a pleasant turn off that was large and comfortable for the night.
If you like to fly fish and have a smaller rig it might be worth the time, river looked great.

when coming into the location off I-90, down a bit you see a fork where google tell you to go left. be aware its has a narrow steepest downhill section before you come back to the lower fishing creek rd.. We came that way coming in and would not go out that way pulling 30 ft RV.. to steep and loose gravel adn tight.

The better way is when you see the "Conservation Education Camp" sign keep to the right or straight on "Lower fish creek rd" . Follow it around, you will be on pavement and then gravel.. when you see the "fish creek rd" merge in from the left side, go down a bit till you see "Big Pine Fishing Access, Point of interest " sign on the left.

you turn in there and take the first turn to right. go slow the road is got some big "holes",, when you get the Bear Proof locker swing around to the left in front of vault toilet.. get out and walk back to sites down the drive straight back ,, to the right of BPL and back the sites are on the left,, and there are three..

the first one is long and wide,, (30 ft with truck fine) second is not as long but wide,, third one is same length as second and wide.. there is another site down just past vault toilet to right that is long but not sure if suited for trailer.. there is a tent site in the "circle" straight ahead from the VT.

the area gets a lot of traffic especially on weekends.. lots of fly fishing guys running around, folks camping for the night etc.. We stayed for 2 nights/ 3 days and enjoyed it.. the river is cold and fast moving perfect for fly fishing.. (also to keep beer cold)

be sure to check out the "big pine" its not hard to miss.. go past vault toilet and look ahead and up.. you will see it.

if there is no camping spots you can turn left past VT to head back to entrance road. the day use area is to your right as you are heading out. remember to NOT go the right as sigh say back to I-90,, go out the way you went in.. :)

you can camp here for 7 days ..
