Big Lake South State Recreation Site

It was okay. The area was clean but you park in a paved parking lot, too close to other campers to use an awning. Area was pretty when you went down to the lake.

Our big downers we’re having to pay for an additional spot to park our truck. Our TT is 26’ which fills the spot, we were told at the gate we would have to pay for an additional spot somewhere else on the grounds even though we were directly across from day use parking. Frustratingly our “neighbors” were able to leave their trucks there over night without any fuss. There wasn’t much respect of the noise rules, generators were running all night, music blaring until 2:30am, and motorized kids vehicles running loops in the day parking.

FYI this is a no alcohol camp ground.

I know many people who camp here frequently and love it but this isn’t the spot for my family.

Really nice staff at the gate. Great Holidays Campgrounds takes reservations on their website but close it off 48 hours prior to your arrival date. So left over spots become first come first serve.

Well maintained facility. Is more a parking lot style but there are lots of options here especially if you have a boat or water craft.
