Campground Overview
About Big Creek Campground
Big Creek Campground offers a secluded forest retreat with creek-side sites, lush canopy cover, and proximity to Mount Rainier National Park. This intimate campground, tucked away in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, provides a rustic camping experience ideal for smaller rigs and tent campers seeking a tranquil natural setting.
The campground features 29 sites nestled among towering Douglas firs, hemlocks, and maples, with several prime spots offering direct access to Big Creek. While sites are generally compact and uneven, the dense vegetation creates a sense of privacy between neighbors. Basic amenities include vault toilets and communal water spigots, maintaining the campground's primitive charm.
Located just 6 miles from Mount Rainier National Park's Nisqually entrance, Big Creek serves as an excellent base for exploring the park's renowned hiking trails and scenic vistas. The nearby town of Ashford, a short drive away, provides essential supplies and local character for weekend getaways or extended wilderness adventures.
