Rules

RULES

Rules are a necessary but unfortunate reality. We love spending time visiting with our guests and our least favorite thing on our to do list is enforcing rules. So we would be more than appreciative if you would familiarize yourself with the rules which are common sense, and basic etiquette. We hope that each one of our guest will be pleased with their stay and that each one would treat each other with respect and courtesy. Simple :) Thank You for choosing Big Creek RV Park for your family friendly nature retreat.

Anyone who is disruptive and refuses to follow campground rules will be asked to leave immediately and without refund.

The RVIA certification means the RV was built and lives up to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) safety standards, and the structure qualifies as an RV.

We love pets at Big Creek RV. We want to keep welcoming our furry friends, so please help them follow the rules. 1. No aggressive breeds. 2. We limit 2 pets per site. (we know when you have extras and it puts all of us in a bad position) 3.

Very nice park. Has a petting area where you can feed the chickens and goats. There is a Turkey roaming around as well as the chickens, so fun to see the animals. Shower house and laundry room very clean. RV spots are pretty level. Owners are very nice and accommodating. I stayed here in a 5th wheel and would stay again

Fantastic stay at Big Creek. The owners are great and truly “customer oriented “”. Centrally located for so many activities and places to eat. Campground is full of things for the kids to do. It’s clean, accessible, and gives a safe, comfortable feeling. We will be going there again. Thank You Big Creek for a great experience.

Hi Larry, so glad to hear that you were able to have some relaxation time her at Big Creek RV Park. Wood all you want for $10 after 4 PM; we think this is a great way to enjoy campfires without counting the cost. Campfires are part of the camping experience and it is a great way to end a day in the great outdoors. Thank you for your 5 stars review and we hope to see you again soon with those grandkids. :) Dave & Laura-owners.

5.0

Great campground! We loved the easy access to the creek and the nearby state parks (Johnson's Shut-In and Elephant Rock). Friendly people, clean bathrooms, level sites. Memaw's coffee shop and ice cream soda fountain were wonderful amenities! The pool was smaller than the kids hoped, but we made good use of it and the creek. The sites are small sandy, rock pebbles which caused frequent cleaning of the camper. We would prefer bigger rock for the sites and more shade trees. Great campground! We'd recommend to others and may return when the creek is calling!

Campground Response

Hi Angie, thank you so much for taking the time to leave a detailed and positive review. We are glad that you and your family enjoyed all of the amenities as well as nearby attractions. We are planning on planting more trees but due to an unusual year (very wet), the trees we had ordered were not delivered. We are looking into fast growing trees even though it will take a little bit for them to grow. In the meantime, we do have other sites that offers more shade with mature trees. We hope you will visit us again. Dave & Laura- owners.

Big Creek is one of our favorite RV stays in Missouri. The owners do a fantastic job of keeping the place well maintained. They are very hard working and friendly. There are many activities for the whole family. There is a petting zoo, swimming pool, easy creek access, walking trails, and planned events each week. It is also close to other local attractions such as Johnson Shut-Ins and Elephant Rocks.

Campground Response

Hi Ray, thank you for your review and thank you for helping us with the cornhole tournament. We appreciate you bringing your boards, setting them up and tearing them down. It was a great turn out last weekend and we were very pleased with how it all went. I understand that reservation systems can be frustrating, this is why we are also available to help guests with their reservation if they prefer talking to a live person. All reservations systems have pros and cons, but I will say this about Rover Pass is that they will address specific concerns and even make modifications to the reservation system to assure that it is user friendly. Please contact us directly with any concerns and we will make sure to address them as able. You can always call us, and we will assist you with all of your reservations. Dave & Laura-owners.

This place was so relaxing! The staff were very helpful. The grounds were very well maintained with plenty of shade and activities for everyone. The bathrooms and showers were spacious, private and clean. Having ice, firewood and propane available was very convenient. The general store also had a lot to choose from. Already planning our next stay with them. Ps! They have a nice petting zoo and very friendly chickens that come out in the evenings.

We loved the campground, very clean and surprisingly quiet. The creek is shallow but, very refreshing. The bathroom and showers are very nice. If I may make a recommendation it would be to re adjust the deadbolts on bathroom doors, some were hard to lock. We plan on camping here again in the future. Thanks for a great weekend.

July 01, 2024

Campground Response

Hello Daniel, thank you for taking the time to leave us a 5 star review. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay and plan to come again. The creek is spring fed so its flow depends on how much rain we get; that said like you experienced it is very enjoyable to put a chair in it and just relax to the sound of the water and have your feet in it. There are deeper parts of the creek further down that are also accessible as you walk towards the field at the end of the park. Thank you for letting us know about the deadbolts, our maintenance crew works hard to assure that everything works as it should. :) Hope to see you again, Dave & Laura- owners.

It was our first time to stay at Big Creek. Laura worked with me several times on the phone for dates available and quite honestly, her willingness and eagerness to answer all my questions sold me. We were not disappointed. Clean, well groomed and a pretty creek to enjoy. Nice and relaxing 10 day stay. OBTW: Its a family operation with her husband and their children all working together.
