We’ve been camping here to fish river for over 30 years, less 2020 (covid). They are great campgrounds & the host are always nice & helpful. Bathrooms & showers are always kept up & we have seen many improvements over the years. This a lot of overgrown vegetation was cleaned up. Great place to camp. See you next April.

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!
