Was a little disappointed in the grounds! We stayed in the same spot the last 2 weekends, A17. Grass hasn't been mowed in several weeks. The fire pits had trash from previous campers in the fire rings! The sight itself was beautiful overlooking the lake but the grounds need works! Shower had hot water! Will stay again but not sure how to review on recreation.gov.

A wonderful campground that is free in the winter with no amenities available at that time. I spent about a week here at the beginning of February and didn't see anyone else the entire time. Very safe and love the covered picnic tables

It was a little too cold to do anything that day on the playground but the kids had an interesting experience for the weekend and look forward to coming back when it is warmer. Do wish they had 50amp hookups and had no trails that we saw. Reg gas every where seemed to contain 10% ethanol.

I used to come to this lake a TON as a kid. Still a great place, but now there are so many stickers / sand burs that it's unbelievable. Originally, we were in sight b50 and b52, and these stickers were dense enough and big enough to take out 10,000 small children. The dam was beautiful, the wildlife is great, the hiking trails were decent (but still stickers on the trails). There's a couple of restaurants really close by and they're pretty affordable. There weren't really any stickers in the rest of the Big bend campsites except for the three at the end I mentioned. The people that work here, and live around here, are SUPER friendly!

I really enjoyed my stay here. I caught a fish off the shore and the bathrooms were kept up nicely.

Our very first visit to Canton Lake as well as Big Bend camp ground. We loved it, the grounds were well kept, the sites and hookups were well maintained. The lake was clean and clear. I will say that camp site A15 is NOT easily accessible for campers longer that 20’ We have a 29’ trailer that unhooking and leveling was difficult.

Easy to book online. Pictures matched the camp site. Plenty of room for two tents and amenities are described on each campsite page accurately. No heated bathrooms. Only a latrine. But I knew this going in because I grew up going to canton lake quite a bit. The weather disagreed with us but we made the most of it. All in all I have no complaints. I had a great time and everything about my experience was straight forward and honest.

Senior/handicapped tent camper here. Love this park with its gorgeous lake views and well-spaced sites. I always get an RV site for the electric access, and there is enough space for two tents in one site. It's hit or miss in early Spring with the maintenance. I've stayed five times and it seems the closer one gets to the fishing tournament, the worse the sites look with overly tall grass and the bathrooms under-maintained. The showers are frankly horrible. There is zero privacy and the hot/cold seem to flow in turn instead of together. One minute you freeze the next you are boiling. I prefer Autumn camping here. it is quiet and the sites are better maintained. Go check out the prairie dog villages in Canton proper near the Government buildings and the lower park. They are adorable!
