we visited Big Coon Creek during the eclipse, and we enjoyed our stay very much. The host were great, facilities were clean and checked regularly. Our campsite was very nice and spacious with a nice view of the sunrise. Kayaking on the lake was great.

Nice campground! Could see the lake from all the sites. The campground is on a hill, so the further from the water the site, the higher it is. This allowed us to see over the campers that were closer to the water.
HOWEVER, the water hookups are far from the normal hook-up location on many campers. So bring at least 50' of hose - more would be better for many sites. I had to use my 50' hose, and lend my 25' hose to a friend, as his 50' was not enough to reach.
Lots of birds singing in the campground, so that was nice. I would go back there if I was in the area.
