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!

B14 was a great campsite! Close to the bathroom and receptacles. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked with toilet paper and hand soap. Campsites were clean. Overall a wonderful experience.

Camp hosts were good and efficient at check in, and very nice people. Sites are being kept mowed fairly well despite all the rain. Good to see someone trimming trees so our campers don't hit them when trying to park, but need to keep going because there are a lot more to do.

I love this campground have been coming for over 40 yrs. I will say it is time for the restrooms to update their handicap access. In both A and B Sites.
