Big Creek Resort, Marina, & Campground

All sites face the lake at this Army Corps of Engineers campground on Somerville Lake, where the layout splits into three or four separate areas rather than clustering everyone together. Full hookups include water, electric, and sewer, though at least one reviewer notes the dump station can be difficult to navigate for larger rigs. Flood damage over the years has reduced tree cover significantly, so shade is limited. Gates lock from midnight to 6 a.m. on weekends and close at 10 p.m. on weekdays. Golf carts and steering-wheel-operated ATVs are permitted on site. Campers exploring places to camp near Somerville Recreation Area will find Welch Park Somerville Lake about 1.4 miles northeast. Bring your own shade structure given the lack of tree canopy.

One of my favorite local campgrounds

I like this park because it's close to home. It's got a good space between sites and is broken into 3 or 4 areas so you're not just piled in like sardines. You can being 4-wheeled vehicles that have a steering wheel. No sewer hookups, but there is a dump station. Unfortunately, subsequent major floods have caused them to lose much of the tree cover. It's great when camping in groups though, which we do quite often. All sites have views of the lake. They have a really good fireworks display on 4th of July.

👍🏻 Pros: No trees to avoid

👎🏻 Cons: Split-level site- table is down a slight hill from parking area. No shade 

Across from the cabins on stilts, lake view is a little blocked
