Site 20 has plenty of views and for us was the perfect site. If you are bothered by people walking past, know that there is a little trail up to a waterfall just steps from your spot, we were not bothered and having a view of the waterfall from multiple locations in our spot and hearing the crashing water (Late May/Early June) was an added perk. The space is wide enough to park your trailer and tow vehicle, we have a very short trailer so no issues parking. We didn't use the rest room facilities or water access this time, however we have in the past and the hosts keep everything very tidy. The lake is actually managed by CPW and the parking area there could use some attention, seems that some people don't understand the concept of picking up after themselves - trash litters the ground even though there is a trash can at the end of the parking area.

This was our 2nd visit to Big Med. we loved it. The views of the lake are wonderful. We hiked around the lake, about a 3 mil. pleasant hike. We also hiked up to the falls. A little steep but very fun. Our cocker spaniel really enjoyed it. The only thing not great about this camp ground is the constant generators running during the day. I wish that there was a specific time for folks to run their noisy little generators, if they must. Then we could be gone until the time to run them was up. The toilets were very clean and serviced daily.

Beautiful spot to camp! Peaceful, wonderful views, and very impressed with the cleanliness of the bathrooms. Will return again so I can take my paddleboard out on the reservoir!
