Stayed two nights in Aug 2022 - Overall, not too bad, a little dated and dumpsters were overflowing. We did not use the bathhouse. Roads were mostly gravel and not in the best shape.
WiFi does not reach throughout the campground, so if you’re in the back, which is where the shaded, nicer RV and tent sites are, don’t expect coverage. We had a large, shaded, level site by the creek. The full hookup sites are very close together in an open field; I personally would not enjoy one of those sites.
T-Mobile cell coverage was 1 bar LTE throughout most of the campground.
If we are in this area again we would probably look for a different campground.

We really enjoy this campground and the proximity to a lot of activities (fishing, hiking, quaint town, pickleball, disc golf, restaurants (try "Square Root"), breweries. We have been here several times and will return. Limited partial hookup sites (they go fast) with most sites no hookups. Sites are large, private, clean, and level with several sites just off the river. Bath houses are dated, but kept clean and have great water pressure for showers. You may or may not have cell coverage depending on your site. The best we found on T-Mobile was 2 bars, but several sites had 0 to 1 bar of 4G.

Some sites are a little close together, but not too bad. Overall beautiful area, really enjoyed being right on the water. T-Mobile coverage was 0-2 bars of LTE; we had 1 bar at site 113 facing south. Site was level not requiring any blocks, but some sites not so much. We would definitely stay here again.

Visited Aug of 2022. We booked for 3 nights, but only stayed for 1. Campground is set up nicely for tent campers, but the hookup sites for RVs are less than ideal. RV sites were level and good size, but unfortunately, they are right by the highway and very noisy.
There is NO cell or wifi coverage at all! If you are looking for a backwoods experience completely off the grid, this would work. Just be ready for some highway noise if you're in one of the hookup sites.
If we're back in this area, we will look for another campground.

Very nice campground with large, level, gravel sites. I was on site C2 and had zero bars of T-Mobile unless phone was next to boost antenna which gave me 1 bar of 4g. Download speeds about 3 Gbps and couldn’t get upload speed to register.

No problem finding a FF site the 1st weekend in Oct 2021. Lots of room between sites, with some shaded and some in the open field. We were very impressed with the cleanliness and how well it was maintained. We did not use the bath house, but it looked very nice. A little pricey for no hookups, but it looks like they’re using the money to keep the Campground nice.
T-Mobile cell coverage was 0-2 (mostly 0-1) bars depending on location in the campground.

Really enjoy Big Meadows campground. Sites are spaced out well and mostly level, although there are some that are not. T-Mobile coverage was adequate to work and stream videos, so that's a huge plus while living on the road. Some of the sites had better coverage than others. Staff were very friendly allowing us to drive through and "pick" our site before paying. We enjoyed the hike to Dark Hollow Falls (moderate elevation, so be ready for a climb coming back up from the falls) even though the water level is low and the falls were just ok. Not sure if you're allowed to bring in your own firewood, but $10/bundle is a little steep. We recommend this CG and will be be back.

Don't be fooled by the pictures and older reviews, this place is in very poor shape! I wish I had remembered to take photos, it's a dump! I'm so glad we decided to drive by before booking online. We arrived on a Sunday afternoon after the office had closed thinking we could at least do a late check-in, or if nothing else take an empty site and pay in the morning. Since there were no late check-in procedures posted, and since we were not thrilled with the quality at all, we temporarily pulled into the two open sites by the office so we could discuss our options (stay or leave). A gentleman came out of the house next to the office asking if we needed help (so far, so good). We explained we were just checking out the campground and deciding if we wanted to stay for the night. He then gruffly informed us we had taken up two sites, so I tried to explain we had just pulled in temporarily to finalize our plans (there was not another soul around, much less someone else waiting on the sites). He said the office was closed and we could check back in the morning. When I asked about using their internet so I could pay online if we decided to stay, he said he could only give out the password to someone that had already paid. I asked if he'd give us the password if we decided to stay and pay in the morning and he said that wasn't an option. They would not allow after hours arrivals that had not paid. I guess he didn't want the easy $60. Needless to say, we DO NOT recommend this campground. It's very unfortunate, with a little TLC and some friendly staff, this could be a great campground!
