Beautiful! It had been flooded and could use cleanup from all the branches and logs that were brought in with the flood! Takes away from the scenery and makes it difficult to walk around.
We camped at Big M over 4th of July weekend and enjoyed our stay. The sites were spread apart nicely so that campers weren’t on top of each other & we stayed right next to the campgrounds so the kids enjoyed that. The signs around the campground and lake were easy to follow to find your way around, too! We really liked how quiet and peaceful the area was😊
Neat location. Lots of camp sites with water. Just stopped in to drive around and see if it was worth staying at. Had restrooms.
No one was at the gate, and didn't go into restrooms so can't comment on those.
Awesome campground and location. Easy access to nice lake area, good boat ramp, low fees.
Simple but effective. Enjoyed the little swimming area. Marina restaurant was a bit pricey. Food was decent. Easy walk from our campsite.
