We had such a great time! Campsite was clean and shaded with dappled light. Bathrooms were pretty clean with flush toilets- score! We got summer rain, so plan to bring extra tarps during the summer rainy season.

Fantastic site! Camp host was super awesome as well! Beautiful area. Lots of wildlife and great fishing in Big Lake. Bathrooms were clean and well maintained. We had sites 11, 12, and 13. Very spacious and we had plenty of room for our large group and multiple tents. Very shady as well!! There was a water spigot right next to the site which was so convenient. As others have said, there is zero cell service in the area. Takes about 25 min to drive to get service. The marina is the literal Walmart of Big Lake and has everything you can think of if you end up forgetting something - and the prices are very reasonable. Our boat rental there was also super great. Campground is a 2 min walk across the street to Big Lake.

I reserved site 12 at the beginning of the year for a Friday through Monday. When we showed up on Friday at 1:30pm someone else was there in that spot and had set up. The camp host said they were only there until tomorrow (Saturday) and told us to set up at our friends campsite. Well lo and behold they didn’t leave until Sunday, so I paid for an entire weekend with a specific site and didn’t get to use it at all. No refund was offered and the only resolution was “sorry they were here first”. Why were they able to set up when we paid for it?? Why were they not told to move??

Facilities were clean and the Camp Host was great! We reserved two sites (8 & 9) for 16 people thru the website and had plenty of room and shade for our tents.
