First time going to this resort, and will unfortunately be our last. Not the worst campground, but far from the best. Very rundown. They do not put the money back into the resort. SO many things need updated. They have terrible gravel roads. The pool was really dirty. We cleaned the mayflies out of it ourselves. Trash was all over the pool area. Bathrooms were filthy. Most spots are filled with permanent campers. Marina was good. Ladies that worked this weekend were pleasant. Lake is beautiful. Would definitely suggest the lake, just will stay at a different resort next time. The amount of money you pay for a night is extremely high for this campground!!!

Positives - It's quiet because the only people there are the more permanent residents. The grass is mowed around the resort. Negatives - We were in one of the townhouses. It smelled as soon as the door opened. Most of the dishes had food residue still on them along with the utensils and silverware. All the carpet is well worn. The bedroom downstairs has a terrible odor. All the mattresses are hard. All the bedding is old and looks like from the 70s. Two showers only one shower curtain. Don't expect many towels. The refrigerator has rust. Besides plates don't expect to find many kitchen items, mostly empty cabinets. No paper towels are provided. All the decking is well worn. You can only fish in certain spots. After one night, we left. They don't provide refunds. I can see in those that posted the concerns are constant. The owner response is constant of please let us know. I am not sure that letting you know changes any concerns. I understand that it takes money to make changes. If you want your resort to have guests, you may want to address visitor concerns.

Great place for family fun! We searched high and low for a resort for our family reunion. Big Bear was the answer. Accommodations for ten families!

We stayed in a condo/townhouse on Airbnb which was really nice! Probably would have been cheaper to book directly through the resort. Not sure what the inside of the other cabins or places looked like. The ladies in the marina were really nice and everyone we talked to was very friendly! The amenities were alright but could definitely use some TLC. You can tell the resort is running down. The "beach" unfortunately had a lot of weeds over growing and smelled really bad as there were 3 or 4 very large dead fish that washed up. There are steps from the sand to the lake which is mostly rocks. Helps to wear water shoes/Crocs on the beach if you plan on swimming. Would give 4 stars if the beach was cleaned up and didn't smell of dead fish. Otherwise the pool was great and our family and kids really enjoyed our stay!

We stayed at one of the pet friendly cabins. The cabin was very clean and the kitchen was stocked with any utensil we may need. Even though it was pet friendly, there was no pet odors. We rented a pontoon for a half day and had a great time. The pool was clean and perfect temperature. We would definitely come back.
