About
Big Hill Cabin Campsite offers a truly backcountry experience in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest. This single-site dispersed camping area sits at 6,800 feet elevation in the Entiat Ranger District and features a shelter on-site. The location provides access to the Pyramid Mountain Trail, which begins less than a mile down the road. This is a primitive, no-fee site that operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservations available. The access road is rough and requires a vehicle with good clearance. Trailers are not recommended due to road conditions. Campers should come fully prepared as no water or restroom facilities are available on-site. The high elevation means seasonal access is typically limited by snow conditions. Day hiking and picnicking are popular activities in the area, with Pyramid Mountain Trail offering backcountry exploration opportunities.

From Wenatchee, WA, travel north on US-97A for 14.4 miles to Entiat, WA. Just after the bridge, turn left onto Entiat River Road (County Road #19) and continue for about 28.5 miles.
