I just wish the 3 camp hosts would not light up their camp sites like NYC. All night...

We had a great location- wild horses walked right up into our campsite. Driving around we saw wild turkey, elk, and deer. The campground was clean, restrooms were clean and the staff is VERY friendly and helpful. We are already planning our next trip back!

I really want to give 5 stars because the camp is clean and beautiful; but the spot I had was very difficult with parking my trailer. With how close the hook up was to the fire pit we couldnt have a fire going. And if we wanted a fire we would have been parked in the road.

What a great campground. It was a well kept, peaceful experience with all the amenities. Hosts were so friendly. Its close to many fishing spots and only 40 minutes from town. Well be back.

This campground is our personal favorite! The difference is always the excellent camp hosts. They are super friendly and knowledgeable. The campground and restrooms are kept very clean.

Great time, wonderful staff!!
@KathleenN70719 · Camped on Jul 28, 2024 at Campsite #52
Great location, great spaces, we always stay in the full hook ups and you really dont see anybody on either side of you. You always have an open forest area behind you! The picnic tables are always nice and clean, fire pit are always available and bathrooms are always clean and ready to go. Lake is a close 10-20 min walk depending on where you camp! We saw deer, bucks, squirrels and heard elk talking!! Always clouds up during the summer and rains for an hour or so!! Beautiful location for family and friends!

It was a great 10 day trip and everything went great!
@ScottK1111753 · Camped on Jul 11, 2024 at Campsite #69
This is our favorite "long weekend" campground to escape the heat of AZ as it is only about a 5 hours drive. The campground is always clean, and the camp hosts are friendly and accommodating, and have been there for the past three years we have been visiting this site.
@GeorgeI2E19F31 · Camped on Jul 10, 2024 at Campsite #79
Great vacation at Big Lake. had to walk .6 from campsite to water, no problem. The 9,200 Ft. elevation was a little hard at times. Hosts were great. quiet, peaceful get away.
@JonT9612797 · Camped on Jul 10, 2024 at Campsite #38
Camp grounds are great, but the kept locking the showers up. After coming off the are, cleaning fish and then heading to the camp sight after dark, only to find the showers locked up..thats a bit disappointing
@JEANMARC957C5D · Camped on Jul 7, 2024 at Campsite #83
These are my recommendations for improvements. Better shower heads. Slightly warmer water temperature for showers. A curtain so the water does not go all over the entire floor. Showers open long than from 7 to 7. A bench to put your stuff while in the shower. See Canyon Point campground for an example.
@EverettH370419 · Camped on Jul 3, 2024 at Campsite #9
Beautiful area. Staff was top notch! Extremely friendly! Clean facilities. Great sites
@RobertM1452522 · Camped on Jul 1, 2024 at Campsite #68
Rangers were great, camp ground we immaculate and quiet for a holiday weekend.
@CandiceY083804 · Camped on Jun 28, 2024 at Campsite #5
Great campground. Clean, pleasant, and walking distance to the lake for most folks. Nice hosts. The campground is compact, so expect to be close to your neighbors. We saw deer and other wildlife. Trash and dump were easy to use. Short drive to marina. We will definitely return some day.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
