Important Camping Information:
  • This campground is fully reservable.
  • Reservable sites may be available on a walk-up registration basis if the site is not reserved. Before occupying a site, check with the park staff or follow the directions on the posted card or signs.
  • For weekend reservations, there is a required two-night minimum stay of Friday/Saturday or Saturday/Sunday.
  • During the off-season (Nov. 1 through April 14), potable water is available at the frost-free spigot at the dump station.
  • Campers planning to carry in firewood must comply with current firewood advisories.
  • Parking of watercraft or all-terrain vehicle (ATV) trailers off of the campsite pad (usually in the grass) is permitted at this facility.
  • Wi-Fi is not available at Big Lake State Park.
  • Camping is limited to any 15 days within a 30-consecutive-day period at any one park or historic site.

  • We recommend no more than two dogs per campsite. Pets must be supervised and kept on leashes no longer than 10 feet at all times.
