Big Lake is proud to be an official Pacific Crest Trail resupply point and every summer we love meeting all the hikers who come through camp. We accept packages throughout the hiking season, but are open for meals, showers, and laundry June 14, 2016 through September 5, 2016. If you arrive at Big Lake before or after these dates, you can still pick-up your package by visiting our main office located in our Headquarters building. We ask that all PCT hikers report to our Headquarters building and check in. Our office staff will assist you in finding your package and directing you to the showers and laundry facility. Please join us for a meal (see times below) and, if you’re up for it, some evening entertainment during our infamous evening Campfire program at 7:40 pm. Safe travels and we’ll see you soon!
