Big Lake

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.
