Big Oaks Campground — Argyle Lake State Park

No internet service but real nice property

We visited in October so the campground was not very crowded. The park itself is gorgeous, especially in the fall. Lovely fall foliage. The hiking trails are challenging for 2 middle aged folks- lots of climbing up, then down, at some pretty steep inclines. And the trails don't loop around on themselves so you come out a mile or more from where you started and just have to hoof it along the road to get back.

There is a boat ramp and fishing available, if that's your thing. There's no differentiation between RV camp spots and tent spots so if you are tent campers, like we are, you might end up next to a HUGE RV in the spot next door.

Our kids love argyle for the paved roads they can easily ride bikes on, the 2 playgrounds and the room to run! We love it because of the spacious sites and options to hike and bike.

This campground has the best tent camping sites we have stayed at. It also has great hiking! We have been 2 times and plan to go again!

As you enter the park on a long road in, it opens up into an RV site first. The road will surround the lake for an AMAZING motorcycle ride, or a walk with your dog.

We had never been to this Campground. We stayed in the Big Oak area. All sites are gravel and we didn't have any problems getting level. Our site was B-7 and friends were on B-5. Nice space and not crowded. The Campground seemed to be well taken care of. It was very quiet and we enjoyed our weekend. The problems were a broken water line a few years ago so no water in the upper Campground. The only bathrooms were pit toilets and the roofs need replaced on all of them. The shower house is out of commission because of the bad roof. We did find that the lower Campground area did have water.
