The site was well shaded. Great cell service. No swimming area near the site, and a lot of stickers in the grass, but overall a very great experience.

We always enjoy our trip to Canton lake , always clean and well kept , although the bath houses could stand a little more attention they were questionable this trip.

We love to camp at Big Ben at Canton Lake . The lady that works at the gate is super great . I however do wish there was a swimming area. We all loaded up to go swimming at the beach and was told we couldn’t bc it was for the ppl who were camping there. Big Ben needs a here own swimming beach area. It would be great if it could be taken into consideration.

I had a beautiful Lake view. Also, I was right across from the bathroom and shower. They were impeccably clean. It was a cozy and very friendly campground. I would recommend it.

Was hot tent camping obviously, but it was a simple and easy check in and our campsite was very clean. Fishing was great and for our first time tent camping it was a blast!
