The site was great! Only one neighbor so very private location. The restroom was very clean.
Unfortunately, someone was in our site when we arrived at check in time and ended up having to wait an hour for them to move before we were able to set up.

Nice campground with a lake. Some campsites are completely exposed to bring shade.

This is an amazingly beautiful campground right on the side of a lake. The facilities were super-clean and the host was very nice. The group site is meant for tent camping and not overlanding vehicles. We had 6 vehicles - 5 roof/vehicle campers and 1 tent camper. The tent sites are very nice and centrally located around an area of picnic tables and fire pit but the parking lot is pretty small. We did however manage to get all 6 vehicles parked into this space. Thanks for a great stay!

Camp hosts were exceptional! Toilets clean and promptly attended to a bathroom that had been recently soiled.

What a wonderful campground! The hosts keep the campground and bathrooms very clean and orderly. You camp within easy walking distance to the lake for paddleboarding and fishing. There are numerous hiking trails nearby, with the Archuleta Lake Trail Head right at the campground. We come back here every summer, so that says a lot.

The Big Meadows Campground is very nice. The road from the highway into the campground (approximately 2 miles) can be very rough and needs to be graded more frequently. The campground is close to the quaint town of South Fork, or travel over Wolf Creek Pass to Pagosa Springs. The campground has a nice fishing lake and lots of hiking trails. Unfortunately, campers have become less mindful of rules and we had problems with ATV/Dirt Bikes speeding down the roads (posted at 5mph). Would be nice if the campground rules were enforced more.

As usual great place. Should enforce generator noise rules and too much side by side cruising. Hosts were great as always.

Beautiful place on this earth. Very clean vault toilets. Downside was dogs barking because people leave them in their campers for the day
