Big Arbs Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Big Arbs Campground sits on a hillside in East Rochester, Ohio, with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections alongside a dump station and shower facilities. Tent campers have very limited options here; only two tent sites are available, and they require advance payment. Reviewers have noted that noise can be an issue, with some guests not observing quiet hours. RV campers with full hookup needs who want campgrounds around Malvern as a regional base may find this worth comparing against Fireside Lake Campground to the northeast.

Lots of Hills

The whole campground is on a hill. Most if not all seasonal sites. The area we stayed was mostly the party crowd and didnt seem to respect quiet time. There is a long list of rules most do not follow. And ownership takes no responsibility. We had to ask several times for a picnic table and fire ring.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do visitor reviews say about Big Arbs Campground?

Big Arbs Campground receives mixed feedback. The terrain is notably situated on a hill, which affects the camping experience. Many sites are occupied by seasonal campers, and some areas tend to attract a livelier crowd that may continue activities beyond quiet hours. The campground has numerous rules in place, though enforcement appears inconsistent. For tent campers, the limited availability of only two designated tent spots requires advance booking, and extensions may not be possible due to this constraint.

What amenities and facilities are available at Big Arbs Campground?

Big Arbs Campground offers limited amenities with mostly seasonal sites positioned on a hillside terrain. Fire rings are provided for campsites, though you may need to request a picnic table upon arrival. The campground has designated tent camping with only 2 specific tent spots available. For those planning to visit, it's recommended to call ahead and confirm what facilities are currently available, especially if you have specific needs or are traveling with an RV, as most sites appear to be occupied by seasonal campers.

How does Big Arbs Campground compare to other nearby campgrounds?

Big Arbs Campground is distinctive for its hillside setting and predominantly seasonal occupancy, which creates a different atmosphere than many public campgrounds in the region. Unlike campgrounds that cater primarily to short-term visitors, Big Arbs has a more established community feel with only two designated tent sites for non-seasonal campers. The social environment tends to be more active and less regulated than nearby state or national forest campgrounds. For travelers seeking quiet, level sites, or abundant tent camping options, exploring alternative campgrounds within a 20-mile radius might better meet those needs.

Are there photos available of Big Arbs Campground?

Photos of Big Arbs Campground can be found on various camping platforms and websites. To view current images of the campground, check official camping directories, The Dyrt, or contact the campground directly for the most up-to-date visual information. Photos would typically show the hillside terrain, campsite layouts, and available facilities, giving potential visitors a better understanding of what to expect before their stay.
