I have been here many times. Lovely campground. Bathrooms and showers are awesome and clean. Campground hosts are always friendly. Sites are great.

Best RV campground for Big Lake. Paved road up to campground, then very wide, smooth, & packed dirt/gravel. A beautiful, newer development, w/modern utilities, deep, spacious sites (my 55ft combo was easy), and nicely separated & secluded by trees. Gracious & locally knowledgeable hosts (Mark & Lisa), & super clean & maintained. I arrived mid-week, 9/29/21, during the F/F period, and had plenty of full hook-up sites to choose from. Welcomed w/a snow dusting the 1st night (melted off by afternoon), but the stars, the elk bellowing at night, and proximity to the lake, were remarkable. Pull-thru dump station for non-FHU sites. I believe they close 10/31 for the winter, but Apache Trout is my Big Lake destination from now on.

Fantastic and convenient campground. Located a stones throw from Big Lake, the Apache Trout Campground is ideal for both tent campers and RV/Trailer campers. They have very clearly marked and prepared campsites with convenient services. The restrooms are GREAT, one of the few campsites that has showers (bring your flip flops). The camp hosts are friendly, helpful, but not in your face all the time. As a family we've used the larger group sites for a few family reunions as well as the smaller individual sites - with both tents and trailers. Only downside we have found is the close proximity to your neighbors and the significant number of people that are always there. This is one of our very favorite family campgrounds because there are so many things to do in the area - fishing and boating on the lake, hike along the Black River, just enjoying the cooler weather! We go back again and again.

Loved the campground, beautiful setting, nice facilities. Unfortunately the campground hosts were terrible. Apparently the reservation site doesn't tell of all the extra charges. Single site you can have one car and unlimited people and tents. Double sites can have only 2 cars and two tents and up to 16 people. Any extra tents or cars add $26/ night, the cost of a whole site. The supervisors were very friendly as we tried to sort it out, but the camp hosts had it out for us, constantly photographing our sites, even in the midst of us working with the supervisors. They even threatened one our friends to prosecute to the full extent of the law, completely missing that they were only making things worse. Supervisors acknowledged there's a problem with wrong/incomplete info on reservation site (ie. False advertising), but wouldn't budge a smidge even though the reservation site said extra tent was $8 extra, not $26. They wanted cash for the extra charges--a bit scammy. We've camped with large groups all around the state, never had these kinds of problems before. Again, campground great, Hosts were TERRIBLE!

Yes, pets are allowed. Pets are to be controlled and on leash outside. I have seen people with as many three dogs. If you take your dog, be kind and clean up after them...

First timer-We rented double site 52/53. We will have a 35’ coach & a truck with camp bed. I would also like my brother to join us in his 13’ camp trailer and truck. Would his units fit on that shared site? Comments on website say 4 campers allowed

Sherrie McGriff | Jul 5, 2021
Tom Zadick | Jul 6, 2021

Probably not. Double sites get you 2 rvs. It would be super tight and he would have to pay the same rate as getting his own site. Best for him to r ew nt his own site

Forgot to ask re: cell service.. any up there? or wifi available?

Paula Lajoie | Jul 5, 2021

Can someone tell me what walk-in means for reserving campsites and do they have a swimming area for the kids and can you take your dogs down by the lake as long as they're on a leash

William White | Jul 6, 2019
Megan Marohn | Jul 7, 2019

Walk-in refers to sites available as "first-come-first-serve" rather than reservation only. Big lake is not a good lake for swimming: however, the Black River is a short drive away and we love taking the kids and dog out there to. Play in the water!

We have rented site 70/71 for 17 -20 Aug. Are the electric and sewer hookups near each other. Can the sewer be reached by regular sewer hose or is it longer than normal? I read somewhere that it is longer, but cant find the review. Thank you

Janet k Carter | Jul 6, 2019
Bill Gilchrist | Jul 7, 2019

Double site's have both in the usual spot, will be near the back of your rig. The only downside of a double site is the hook up for one will be right by the other spots fire ring, you my get the sewer gases every time you go out the door.
