This was our first EVER RV trip and this was our first stop. We were very nervous as we arrived later than expected. The owners were so pleasant and laid back. We could not have asked for a better time. The sites are clean and well cared for. The office has souvenirs and a screened in sitting area with coffee. The bathrooms and showers were immaculate and very tastefully decorated. Free kayak... This was our first EVER RV trip and this was our first stop.

The office has souvenirs and a screened in sitting area with coffee. The bathrooms and showers were immaculate and very tastefully decorated. Free kayaks were much appreciated. They also offered use of bikes as well as canoes. Not only was there lake access, but also a beautiful pond. Fire wood on site. Thank you again for the great first experience!

We had a fantastic stay! The owners made you feel right at home! The lake was great for kayaking, fishing and swimming in some areas. There were many kayaks, canoes to use without extra fees. The shop was amazing with locally sold products and the best baked goods! She made the best cinnamon rolls and cookies! She took a special order for my husbands Bday and had a candle for him! They definitely... We had a fantastic stay! The owners made you feel right at home! The lake was great for kayaking, fishing and swimming in some areas.

We are fairly new to RVing but what we can say is that from all the campground from Texas to Maine that we have stayed at this location is the best. As others have mentioned the facilities are great. The WiFi is superb at every site, unlike what we have found elsewhere. The free amenities that they offer (bikes, kayak, and canoe) are all readily available. Their small store offers some fresh baked goods (everything was delicious) and other items. Owners Mark and Wesla are a joy to talk to and are very helpful. We stayed a few days here in July prior to going to Canada. Big Lake Campground deserves a 5+ star rating.

This is a very nice park less than 5 miles off US1 and near the border crossing with Canada. I wanted to add my comments to the other 5-star reviews so future readers won’t pass this one by. This is an open park in a pretty, rural area. It’s laid out in a standard grid with plenty of pull-throughs. The sites are full-service, quite spacious and very level. The water is excellent - odorless, taste... This is a very nice park less than 5 miles off US1 and near the border crossing with Canada.

It’s laid out in a standard grid with plenty of pull-throughs. The sites are full-service, quite spacious and very level. The water is excellent - odorless, tasteless, and not too soft or hard. The wifi is very strong (signal strength 100% per my extender). As for amenities, there is a large lake where the owners have kindly left kayaks and canoes for campers’ enjoyment. They offer an immaculate and comfortable rec room with a laundry and screened patio looking out towards the lake. Oh, and there is even a dog park. Overall this place is top quality; clean, quiet and comfortable.

The first thing that impressed us with Big Lake RV Park and Campground was its pristine condition. It is a smaller campground, but pride of ownership is obvious with lots of attention paid to detail. We fell in love with the huge, fenced dog park. Owners Mark and Lindsey go above and beyond to make sure campers have everything they need at their fingertips from fresh baked pastries to complimen... The first thing that impressed us with Big Lake RV Park and Campground was its pristine condition. It is a smaller campground, but pride of ownership is obvious with lots of attention paid to detail. We fell in love with the huge, fenced dog park. Owners Mark and Lindsey go above and beyond to make sure campers have everything they need at their fingertips from fresh baked pastries to complimentary kayaks, canoes, and bicycles. A short walk down a mown path to the lake reveals awesome views of Big Lake. We enjoyed sitting in the campground’s chairs, viewing the lake in the cool of the woods in total silence. The planned absence of lighting makes for perfect nightly stargazing. This is one of those rare campgrounds you hate to leave simply because of its serenity, beauty and the hospitality of its owners.
