My 1st time camping at Big Bend, comma found the staff to be helpful and knowledgeable. My site was right on the lake, which offered a beautiful sunrise and a cool breeze off the lake.

Camp sites were clean and the grounds taken care of. The camp hosts were very helpful. I've been going to Canton lake several times a year since 1996, yes even through the drought years.

We love big bend! We love the camp host as well! The only downfall is the grass needs more up keep and the trees need trimmed around the campsites. They are to low in spots and can rub on campers.

The large cotton tree, and the water leak made the trip a little less enjoyable. However we have plans to return in September, and now know not to book the spots we had last.
