About
Big Hill Cabin Campsite offers a truly rustic backcountry experience in the Entiat Ranger District of the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest. This dispersed camping area features a single campsite with a shelter structure, situated at 6,800 feet elevation near the end of Forest Spur Road 112. The site provides access to hiking opportunities including the nearby Pyramid Mountain Trailhead, located less than a mile down the road. The access road is extremely rough and requires a vehicle with good clearance. Trailers are not recommended due to road conditions. Campers should come fully self-sufficient as there are no facilities at this site. No water is available on-site, and there are no restroom facilities. The remote location and lack of amenities make this campsite ideal for experienced backcountry campers seeking solitude.
