Very friendly staff, we stayed in 72 with a 35 1/2 5th wheel, with long bed dually, very spacious. Quiet campground all the time, fellow campers quite friendly. Can’t wait to return soon.

Great location, great spaces, we always stay in the full hook ups and you really don’t see anybody on either side of you. You always have an open forest area behind you! The picnic tables are always nice and clean, fire pit are always available and bathrooms are always clean and ready to go. Lake is a close 10-20 min walk depending on where you camp! We saw deer, bucks, squirrels and heard elk talking!! Always clouds up during the summer and rains for an hour or so!! Beautiful location for family and friends!

Great campground. Clean, pleasant, and walking distance to the lake for most folks. Nice hosts. The campground is compact, so expect to be close to your neighbors. We saw deer and other wildlife. Trash and dump were easy to use. Short drive to marina. We will definitely return some day.

Great vacation at Big Lake. had to walk .6 from campsite to water, no problem. The 9,200 Ft. elevation was a little hard at times. Hosts were great. quiet, peaceful get away.
