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!

A9 is a great spot for tent camping. It helps keep you out of the wind and was kinda secluded. There was a large red ant den with lots of action, but thankfully they didn't get into our stuff. Also the raccoons were after our food! They opened our tote and tried to take our marshmallows! There's a bathroom not far; It is a porter pot. The upper bathrooms by the park were kept clean. The frisbee golf course was fun. We plan to stay in this spot again!

Our family had a wonderful relaxing time at campsite A34. It would be an added blessing if there were shelters over the picnic table.
