We have stayed 3 separate weekends Since purchasing our trailer in August 2020. We have stayed in A section each time; each campsite has It’s own advantages and they have been great!
The campgrounds are very clean and well maintained.The gate attendants are always available for any questions and very helpful. They do a terrific job maintaining the grounds.
Our latest stay was in A22..... AWESOME lake view BUT the bugs (Bees, flies, dragon flies, & spiders) were quite thick. We hadn’t experienced that at the other sites. The lake view was terrific.
Haven’t decided where we will stay next but it will be soon!

Great location, park attendant Kelly helped us book a same day spot and set up an account. Park was clean and quiet at night when we went to bed. Woke up to the sunrise over the lake.

Campsite was in very good condition. I reserved online and got to campsite late and did not know I needed to check in with host next morning...so when I left I think he was upset when I did not stop on way out. I know better now. Thank you,

I had reservations about camping in Big Ben from the google satellite map, but when we got there it was so pretty. We wished we could stay longer. *** if you need to dump tanks do it before you go in to register. The dump station is outside the actual park. ****
