Campground host was very nice and helpful, campground was well maintained and clean. Terrible wind and rainstorm all night made sleeping impossible, but the sunrise over the lake more than made up for sleepless night. Gorgeous area.

Our stay at Big Ben area was very fun, exciting and a great time of fellowship with family. We only wish it could have been longer. The showers/bathrooms were clean and made the time even more satisfying.

Nice facilities, level pads, good shade most sites. Our family has camped here for approximately 30 years. We usually buy most of our groceries in Canton at the small market. Their steaks are great and the people appreciate your business!

The camp site was right on the lake. The site was great, had a table shelter, work table and grill.

Clean restrooms. Don’t like all the rock than keeps one from getting to the water unless it’s at the docks and ramps. Know it’s for erosion but ruins lake experience.

Great place to go and the rate is great. While staying at the,lake, we visited the Sod House, Salt Plains, Gloss mountain, and ate at a couple of great little restaurants. The bath house could use some work.
