Big Bend (OK)

Great stop!

Great campgrounds, always clean and tidy. The bath house is older but was extremely clean and everything works. Everyone seems to work very hard to make your stay as pleasant as possible.

This is our favorite place! Close to the water, big spaces, lots of shade, friendly people....set up your games and have a wonderful trip!!!

We camped in the Big Bend area in site A-31. Overall, the campground is good. I would not recommend site A-31. It has issues that could and cheaply be corrected. The site is located on a slope. It has an asphalt RV pad, fairly level, with a concrete pad under the picnic table. The problem, years of “blow dirt” has accumulated around the edge of the pads, causing the pads to be below grade. Any rain runoff pools on the pads leaving dirt after evaporating. This issue could easily be remedied with an excavator (which I witnessed being used elsewhere in the park by COE staff) to push the earth away from the pads and down the slope leaving the pads above grade once again. The site also needs lawn maintenance. While there I filled the fire ring with sandbur and goat head plants I pulled up. Regular watering would go a long way.

Loved the Big Bend Campground at Canton Lake, OK. Too bad some of the 50 AMP sites are not lake front, but we made do with 30. We look forward to returning in the future since 2 nights were not enough.

Great campground , nicely kept , no trash or weeds , plenty of shade .

The park was in clean and good shape. The park hosts were nice and helpful and the bathrooms were clean.

Camp site not mowed.

Canadian is nice but the grass burrs drove us to Big Bend. Love the trees and the fact we can walk through the grass with our dog and not seem like a bed of nails. Sites are large and well spaced and views of the lake are great. 99% of campers respect the calm it down after 10 rule. Not a knock on the campground because they are great, but to the people that want to blast loud music and comedy channels to 3am: I like that too sometimes but get a hayfield bonfire instead of a campsite.

A13 had nice shade - especially in the afternoon. Sites have covered picnic table fire ring & grill.
Bathroom/showers are dated and did not get hot. Shower house is not nice at all. Odd layout and dirty the week we were there. Beautiful views of lake. New disc golf course. Most sites have shade trees in the B loop and many in the A loop. Fish for sand bass, crappie, catfish & hybrids. November of each year you can boondock for free, all services are turned off.
