We always enjoy camping here. Most of the campsites have a view of the lake so it’s really neat. Beautiful place.

Big Bend campsites, both A & B are excellent campgrounds. They are so peaceful and beautiful scenery. Water and electricity at each site. Our campsite is always clean, litter free and well kept grass.
The only negative I would say is that sometimes (not every campsite) the pavement seems a bit narrow so when you step down the steps of your trailer you can land on a bit of a hump. Also, there are some dead trees, or trees that are dying that could stand to be removed and replaced.

Nice lake, and the location/area is good, however, the campsites look as though nobody gives a crap. Spider webs all over the disintegrating picnic table pergola, inside the electrical box. Water spigots at many sites are placed very far from where you connect to the RV. Weird.

This was a quick change of plans. On line schedule ok but I didn't know the maps so once there, with another couple in their rig, we found we were on opposite sides. Gate shack closed for season so went on line and changed right there.
All good but once got to sites they all had signs as booked.....omgoodness...I ran up to camp host and he said all good they do that so peeps don't just come in and land without scheduling or probably paying.
Great site right on the lake. On list as a come back if in region....easy in and out

The amount of goat head stickers made it pretty difficult to enjoy much. The walking trail was so full of them that it was nearly impossible to use. And we’d pick up half a dozen each and every time we walked around the site with the dogs.
But the grounds are beautiful and the area is nice! We saw a badger, some prairie dogs, and we loved our spot! Would come back but will plan ahead for the gnats and the stickers
