We have stayed at Canadian and Big Bend campgrounds both. The campground is kept up, maintained and looks amazing all the time. This is by far our favorite place. The office attendants were very kind and helpful as well :) I would recommend camping at either one!!

We had a Nice site overlooking the Lake, enjoyed the shade the covered picnic table provided while watching boats go by on the water. The park was mowed the day we arrived, was a very quiet and clean Campground. Will go back, definitely recommend.

We've enjoyed it both times we've been there. The only drawback this time was I had to weed eat around our site because the grass was overgrown.

Not as well kept camping areas. Needed a grass cutting. Otherwise very good.

We love Big Bend at Canton Lake. This time however, the stickers were so bad! The grass was at least 6” tall and the stickers were everywhere! Our kids had them in their legs, we had stickers in the boat and travel trailers.
I am still finding stickers in my vehicle….we will definitely be checking out the mowing situation before staying again.

Would like to have better internet & phone reception. If I recall a few years ago it was a lot better. This past year the cell service and internet connections have been terrible. We have been there through a few storms this past year and I would like to be able to pull the radar up on my phone and it's debatable some times whether I'm going to have service or not. Otherwise I love Big Bend.
