BIG LAKE WEST CAMPGROUND

Big Lake West Campground

## Overview

This campground provides 49 single campsites. There are both reservable and
FCFS sites. The original campsites within Big Lake are in two loops, (sites
#1-14 and #15-20) which have eight or so sites with frontage on the lake
shore. In 1992 additional campsites were opened (sites #21-49) on a long
straight stretch from the boat launch towards Big Lake West. These sites have
larger and wider parking spurs, and most sites use stairs to access the table,
fire rings and tent pad below the parking spur. Sites can accommodate trailers
up to 35 feet in length, depending on site. Drinking water is provided by a
water system, built in 1993, which serves the entire Big Lake complex by
filtering water drawn from the lake and distributing it to the campgrounds.
There are three single vault toilets, and two double vault toilets in the
campground. The extra vehicle parking area consists of a boat launch, picnic
area, and parking for approximately 15 vehicles and boat trailers. All of
these day use facilities are located in the middle of the campground, between
the original loops and the "expansion" campsites. *Day Use Fee for day
users/boat launch. Extra Vehicle Fee for campers with more than 1 vehicle.

Campfires allowed until and unless otherwise posted. Fire bans are common
during summer months. Please plan accordingly.

Scan and Pay is offered at this campground; you may also pay by cash or check
for FCFS campsites. There are no refunds, modifications, cancellations, or
other fee changes allowed with Scan and Pay payments. This system is the same
as putting cash into a fee tube and cannot be refunded. Please download the
Rec.Gov app prior to arriving at the campground as there may be no cellular
service or very limited service at the campground.

Reservations may be made up to 6 months in advance of arrival date by
reserving online at RECREATION.GOV or by calling 877-444-6777.
