Big Creek Campground

We spent two nights at Big Creek Campground, campsite #16. Our camp host, Annette, was fantastic. Besides being accommodating and super helpful, she added special touches to the maintenance of the toilets! Late in the afternoon, she would go around on her golf cart to check the vault toilets, ensure there was enough toilet paper, fold the edges of the toilet paper rolls, and spray air freshener to make the experience more pleasant. Thank you, Annette. As for the campsite #16 itself, we were very happy with our spot. It was spacious, beautiful, and neither too dark nor too exposed. Its location was also ideal, being near the toilet and water. We noticed that campsite #7, if I remember correctly, is right next to the creek. When we drove around the loop, it looked very pretty. Vault toilets*: Permanent structures in areas without running water that store waste in a sealed underground tank. Vent pipes keep the toilets fresh and odor-free by allowing air to flow out through the ceiling.

This was a last minute stop so if you can’t get a camp spot in Mt. Ranier, this campground is very close and you can easily get into Mt. Ranier before the reserve timed entry requirement. Camp spots are on the small side close together, but you’re in peaceful lush forest, and there is potable water spigots. Highlight of our visit was camp host Annette was awesomely helpful, she went above and beyond as she remembered us and followed up to help us secure a second night on short notice! I never thought it would be possible to come across a clean pit toilet!

Stayed here for two night in July. Great little campsite. Lots of bugs, carry bug spray. Toilets are pits mostly. Creek runs behind the campground and feels so relaxed to sit and chill! :)

Nice campground, small spots, and only 2 are actually on the river. The rest are just woodsy. I had cell service the entire time. The camp host was friendly and was always stocking the vault toilet bathrooms

This campground has it all: clean pit toilets, hiking inside the grounds, privacy, a few miles from Mt Rainier Park, water…. Even though the actual individual sites are small (I have a 8x6 tent that barely fit), I never saw my neighbors due to the amount of trees between each site! The camp host was around at least 3x a day. It was dead quiet by 10pm. No parties or loud people ever. I was here June 30- July 2
