Difficult getting to the water to fish unless you have a boat. Beautiful lake and clean campsites!

Site B44 needs drainage. We experienced a big rainfall and our campsite held the water. Others did not. We left a day early.

It was great. Due to late check in we had to reserve the night before so we could check in earlier to enjoy the day.

The Web site messed our reservations and wouldn't issue a refund. We camped in tents and it stormed and rained everynight. The only safe swimming spot was at shady shores which was a long ways from our camp. The shower water was always very hot which was horrible in the summer heat. We do not plan on returning.

Canton is a great place to camp! we stayed in Big Bend area. It's clean and rv sites were easily accessed. The only down side was that there was no access to get in the water unless you want to the boat ramp. Big rocks line the shoreline, which I understand.
