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.

Located at milepost 10 on Canyon Road between Ellensburg and Yakima, it serves as an excellent base for river activities, though be prepared for occasional train noise and windy conditions.
