We have camped here for years and love that they keep sites clean and they are very spacious. The public bathrooms are well kept and easily accessible. Well groomed grass and easy access to the water.

Site was flat. No covering over picnic table, but plenty of tree cover.

We always have a good time camping at Canton. Big Bend and Canadian are both nice campgrounds.

Our site backed up to the lake which was very calming. Most of the sites were fairly level. We did not need any leveling blocks. It was very quiet at night. We would return.

The Web site to locate the area I wanted to stay at was not easy to find. The area we camped at was needing clean up from the winter shut down. There Debrie on the ground and needing mowed but the stay was great. The Lake Ranger was friendly and gave me helpful information. I will return to Big Bend for future camping.

Canton Lake, Oklahoma. Big Bend COE Campground A. We didn't use the facilities, but they were nice and easily accessible. Water and electric hook ups. Good space between sites and all sites were shaded. Covers over concrete picnic tables. Concrete, level pads. We went at the end of September 2024.
We toured two very different state parks w/in 30 miles of the lake and enjoyed them both. Recommend and will be back!

Lovely campground. I just stayed overnight on the way home from a long trip but would've been happy to stay longer, a little earlier in the season. My stay was at the end of the season and the comfort station was closed, so that was disappointing though not entirely unexpected.

My stay at Big Bend Campground was perfect. It's a beautiful location on a beautiful lake. I had lots of privacy as there were only 2 other parties there. The shower was wonderful and nice clean toilets except for the spiders! I bet it's a booming place in the summer!
