What others are saying about this campground
The campsites are well spaced and there are several dispersed sites. The elevation is 9000 ft. so it can affect your breathing, but it will also take your breath away from the beauty. There are various types of camping, good fishing and boating. The campsites are big enough for all your camp friends, but you can only have two cars per site. There are plenty of hiking trails and great camp hosts. The bathrooms are well maintained with flushing toilets. Wildlife includes blue jays, squirrels, chipmunks, and elk. Big Lake is a great place to camp, with amazing scenery, fishing, and beautiful fall colors. It’s not crowded unless you go on a holiday weekend, and there are numerous paid and dispersed campsites. It’s perfect for taking the time to unplug and enjoy the breathtaking nature, and the fishing store and check in building provide all the necessary amenities.
