Giant Whitepine Campground
⚠ Notice: For a YouTube Video.
Giant White Pine Campground is named after a 600 year old white pine that died in 1998 and was cut down in 1999. It is still lying in the campground as a reminder of its existence. The campground is densely forested and is paved throughout - many of the campsites away from the road are very cozy! We visited in 2010 and again in 2017 so you will see pictures from both visits.

Amenities

Campsites
There are 14 camping sites in the campground. Some sites have long driveways for parking your large RV while others are much shorter. Most campsites have a pine needle ground cover, picnic table and fire pit.
Water
Yes. A little metallic smelling, but it tasted okay. I would prefer bottled water if I was spending any time here.
Restroom
Yes. Vault style outhouse. Giant White Pine has more outhouses than most campgrounds twice its size!
Electricity
No.
Firewood
You will need to gather your own or bring some with you.
Pets
Pets must be on a leash. No saddle, pack, or draft animals.
Picnic Area
Small picnic area at the hiking trail heads.
Handicap Access
Yes, the outhouses are handicap accessible.
RV Dump Site
No dumping site.
Host On-Site
We did not see a host on site. We are thinking the host for Laird Park is also the host for Giant Whitepine.
