Big lake South State recreation site is located on the beautiful shores of big lake in big lake, Alaska. The site is very well-maintained. There is a large gravel parking lot with a fee station. There are benches, picnic table, a boat dock, as well as a camping site.They are beautiful, majestic views of big lake and the overall ambiance is wonderful. I highly recommend.

Not much if anything unless you are putting in a boat

This place is great for the day. There are several camping spots and a boat launch. The campsites are very close together. I can't imagine trying to have a small tent and family here with other campers. We visited for the day and it was great for our kids to play in the water. We did notice the camp attendant speaking harshly at others using the campsite. It is a beautiful spot to enjoy with some limitations.

The beach here is fine, smallish, sandy with some rocks bottom. Bathroom is close to swimming area. It's always been pretty busy when we are there, but my biggest complaint is the something like $7 you have to pay to park! And yes they enforce it closely. Camping spots are minimal, a little ways from the parking lot, but not far from swimming area. All have a fire ring and mist have a picnic table.
