Nice Campground, quiet

@DavidG5648223 · Camped on Apr 3, 2024 at Campsite #14

we visited Big Coon Creek during the eclipse, and we enjoyed our stay very much. The host were great, facilities were clean and checked regularly. Our campsite was very nice and spacious with a nice view of the sunrise. Kayaking on the lake was great.

Nice campground! Could see the lake from all the sites. The campground is on a hill, so the further from the water the site, the higher it is. This allowed us to see over the campers that were closer to the water.HOWEVER, the water hookups are far from the normal hook-up location on many campers. So bring at least 50' of hose - more would be better for many sites. I had to use my 50' hose, and lend my 25' hose to a friend, as his 50' was not enough to reach.Lots of birds singing in the campground, so that was nice. I would go back there if I was in the area.

@PamB8346179 · Camped on Sep 14, 2023 at Campsite #5

Our site (#5) was nice and long, and there was plenty of space to park the boat.The view from this site is the playground, though you can sit outside and see the lake.

@MathewMC950030 · Camped on Jul 5, 2023 at Campsite #9

Tent camped in spot #9 and had a perfect stay! Clean bathrooms, good shady area and camp spot was close to the lake and swim beach. Will definitely return!

@Edwarda7338941 · Camped on Jun 28, 2023 at Campsite #8

Enjoyed our stay.

@DebbieP8103589 · Camped on May 25, 2023 at Campsite #5

Loves our campsite. Park was clean. Beach needs sand, but I am sure they are waiting until after the flooding rains are over. We are going again and cannot wait!

@ShelleyS408946 · Camped on May 21, 2023 at Campsite #9

Nice park will go back

@DanielP5943638 · Camped on May 17, 2023 at Campsite #15

Showers are horrible. You have to be hugging the wall to get a little wet. Seems like shower heads from ceiling would be great

@GarryMF8C312A0 · Camped on May 9, 2023 at Campsite #2

Not enough water hydrants. Have to run lots of water line. Needed mowed. Nice park, will return but try to get site next to water so I can get east satellites for Dish.

@ROSSF9F3738E3D · Camped on May 4, 2023 at Campsite #4

The side #4 was a good site. The camp host and I talked about her dogs and mine. Even the people that work the trash detail waved and said hi. I will be back as soon as I have time.

@DebbieP8103589 · Camped on Apr 12, 2023 at Campsite #13

Beautiful fishing lake. Fish were biting (bass and some crappie). Campground was very clean. Loved our stay. DP in Arkansas

@BillB9731077 · Camped on Sep 21, 2022 at Campsite #9

Easy to get into and awesome views

@TommyL2016575 · Camped on Aug 28, 2022 at Campsite #2

Great end of the summer get together with some friends. Weather cooled down, water level was normal. Park was in great shape. Wasn’t very crowded for the weekend before Labor Day. Hosts were extremely friendly and helpful. Rangers came by daily.

@DebbieP8103589 · Camped on Aug 24, 2022 at Campsite #11

Love staying at Big Coon Camp!

@GaryP8594502 · Camped on Jun 17, 2022 at Campsite #9

This is a very quiet park. Everything worked fine and the attendant was very helpful in showing us our spot and helping us get parked and hooked up. It was extremely hot the first 2 days so we stayed in but the last 2 days it was beautiful. There were many fishermen & many people boating.

@MikeW4539708 · Camped on May 30, 2022 at Campsite #23

Would be nice if boat ramps had boat docks. It makes it hard to get in and out from bank. I'm 65 and a dock would make it safer. Camp areas are great. Don't realy have problems with parking. We always have great time when we stay. Roads ways are needing some repair. But I still rate this lake at 10.

@RogerR5597842 · Camped on May 19, 2022 at Campsite #4

Boat ramps were closed at big coon and little coon. For no good reason both ramps were usable. Will not b back

@BrianM4400588 · Camped on Mar 21, 2022 at Campsite #9

great campsite with great facilities. We go every year and will continue to go

@EdithC8518324 · Camped on Mar 7, 2022 at Campsite #12

We had a great time. We had site #12. While Alitalia bit of a challenge to get our 38 foot 5th wheel in, was a very nice site. It was peaceful, had spectacular sunrises. We will be going back again.

@PatriciaN794 · Camped on Dec 29, 2021 at Campsite #4

Great small older park. Loaded with mature trees. Sites are mostly level. I only had to make minor adjustments to level my rig. Be sure to have extra fresh water hoses. I was barely able to reach the water faucet with my hose. Very hilly terrain. Very nice bath/shower facilities. They had the nicest fire pits that I've seen at a campground. The sites were spacious and not too close together. The sites are located on the lake. Very pretty. Also, no stores or shopping nearby.

@tinae632 · Camped on Nov 20, 2021 at Campsite #5

Loved the area!! I wished cell phone service and access to sewer was easier!

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!!!
