Another gem of a COE park with impeccably clean grounds, convenient amenities and the friendliest and helpful staff. Stayed at site 49 this visit and have decided it's the best since it has one side wide open with some woods behind, depending on wind direction you may get whiff's of the pit toilets but not enough to be a negative. I always enjoy this campground as the other campers here seem to drive slower, make less noise and generally behave themselves better. Only one group on the far side of the campground was completely ignoring/defying guidelines for social distancing (I actually had to walk on the grass to get by their gathering and keep a safe distance) while most everyone else was more respectful. It's great fun to watch the mini-parades of kids tagging along behind park rangers who are leading nature walks, listening to kids shouting out questions about wolves, tigers, etc makes me smile.

The Camper Cabin was filthy under the double bed, and the floor should be wet mopped every time it's cleaned.

We would have liked to buy wood here and also the dump station was full so couldn’t use it. Otherwise place was great.

Everyone in our group had compliments to share about our experience at Sandy Lake. Many of the campsite spaces are structured for RV's or campers (tents are not allowed on the grass for some of the sites). During our stay some severe storms were expected. We were pleased and grateful that the host couple and park rangers both came by to make sure we were aware of the forecast and that we knew where shelter areas were located. The storm passed over over without incident and we all had a great time!

We really enjoyed our time at Big Sandy. We visited in July and the staff did a great job at ensuring social distancing between campsites, cleaning facilities, and reassuring guests of cleanliness. Wonderful visit and we will be back again next year!
