This property is absolutely beautiful! Owners were nice. Could use a lot of TLC. Only 1 dumpster in the entire place and there are a lot of contractors so it was always full. Grass needed a good trim. And evidently there is a no leash policy for dogs. Never knew when we were gonna have one show up at our door. Not sure that it deserves “Resort” status But property itself is absolutely stunning.

We have spent the last 2ish years at big buck. The staff is incredible and the owner goes out of her way to make sure you are taken care of and feel like home. There are 2 lakes, a shooting range, off road trails for sxs/4wheelers/etc, walking trails (the road around the main lake is just shy of a mile) the pool is great during the summer. Is the park "perfect " to some peoples standards? Probably not but for us, we had a spot with barely anyone by us and we were left alone 🤷♀️ it was peaceful, we could walk our dogs in peace and I felt comfortable letting my children play outside or at the playground by themselves. And yes, when the owner sae my son doing what boys do, she just reached out to let me know 😅. They host different events during the year and we could not have asked for a better "home" the last 2 years. Leaving my husband said "I wish we could just take big buck with us everywhere" I know we are not going to find another place quite like big buck and we have been spoiled terribly 😅😅

Quiet, open campground. We stayed in tents, so unsure how the cabins are. I came here a lot as a kid and loved it. It seems to now be mostly full of long term campers & RVs which ruins the experience a bit. Felt like staying in a trailer park. The lake is beautiful and the kids had fun fishing (tho it is only catch and release). The club house was locked even tho it is listed as an amenity (pool table, etc). Staff was very friendly and helpful.
