Big Oaks Campground

We’ve been seasonal campers at Big Oaks Family Campground for about ten years, and honestly, the only good thing about this place is its location. That’s it. Everything else has gone downhill or was never good to begin with.

The staff are, without question, the rudest people you’ll ever deal with in a business. They don’t care about you, your family, or your experience — only about your money. And it shows. We pay a lot for our seasonal site, yet we’re still charged $5 per person for any guest who visits — even if they’re just dropping something off or staying for five minutes. I’ve literally seen them chase people down on ATVs to collect that five dollars.

If you talk at a normal volume past 10 p.m., they’ll come by shining flashlights in your face and telling you to be quiet. It’s absurd.

The facilities are disgusting — the pool, the bathhouses, everything. I’ve only ever seen them clean the pool at the very beginning and end of the season. The bathrooms are full of spiderwebs, mosquitoes, broken tiles, and leaking pipes. It’s clear maintenance and cleanliness are not priorities here.

They’ll kick you out at the drop of a hat, no discussion, no respect, no decency. After so many years of giving them our business, it’s painfully obvious that Big Oaks Family Campground does not care about its campers — only their wallets.

Save yourself the frustration and find a place that actually values its guests.

The cabins are very dirty, there was food left in the refrigerator from whoever was there before, the a/c inside is extremely loud so we got no sleep, the staff is rude, confederate flags everywhere and I did not get a military discount despite being active duty. Checked out early and didn’t even bother asking for the money back for the second night. I just wanted out of that place.

We come here every year this was our 7th year. It's located in a very convenient spot for the shops and beach. Just like every where else there is upsides and down sides but for us we have only experienced the upside of this place. Yhey typically have an event every saturday by the pool ,(dj, band or karaoke) The facilities are pretty well kept and the grounds people and office staff are very kind. Place is very reasonably priced. And we will be back next year. We love big oaks.

Friendly staff. A bit crowded as lots are close together. The bathrooms are limited (2 individuals with only 2 showers) and absolutely filthy. No one cleaned them for the three days we were there. Many rules at the pool but not for flying confederate flags at perma-sites. Not welcoming to everyone.

I’m going to be fair. The confederate flags are very present. If that makes you uncomfortable, don’t book this place. My review is based on the site and the amenities. The staff were great and treated me very kindly. I appreciated that. The pool was nice, clean and not crowded. I camped with my family in a travel trailer, so I can’t speak to the cleanliness of the restrooms or showers.
The sites were very close and didn’t leave much room for a fire or to use the picnic table. The ground was not level and it was all sandy dirt. We were camping though. As a black family, our experience wasn’t the best. The kids weren’t very comfortable leaving the trailer and I felt bad for exposing them to that by not reading the reviews first. Unfortunately, we won’t be returning to this establishment. If you’re not triggered by their symbolism, this is a good bargain for travel trailers and rv’s.
