Big Trees Campground

Big Trees Campground sits along Bishop Creek and is consistently praised for shaded, creekside sites, mature pines, nearby trails and waterfalls. Flush toilets and potable water spigots are available and reviewers generally describe clean facilities; portable toilets are present in some spots. Sites are well spaced but not all offer shade, and RVs can dominate the creekside spots. The campground appears to operate mostly first-come, which makes availability an issue on busy days. Camp hosts are reported as welcoming by many, though multiple visitors described conflicts over vehicle limits and extra fees. Expect pleasant, cooler mountain camping with occasional logistical tradeoffs.
