Overall a nice quiet place to stay. Unfortunately for us, during the time we was there, the sewer of the showers/restroom was defective. The staff did a minor fix but it was really not enough. The restroom wasn't very clean too. The problem wasn't an overflow but a very bad smell. Everything else was very good. Activities are: pool, playground for kids and tennis court. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Very nice campground. Short drive to Avalon ad Stone Harbor. There is an ACME grocery store just down the road. The sites were fairly level, mostly sand rather than grass, spacious, and some trees for shade. Free coffee from 8 to 10 AM, nice snack bar/restaurant, and plenty of activities. Mosquitos are a problem but use lots of bug spray and citronella candles and you should be fine. Pool is nice but no chairs so bring your own. The adult TV room has internet access to find local activities (fireworks, waterparks, etc.) We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This was our second visit to BTL, 10 days of lakefront camping with 50 amp service, full hookups and 30 cable channels. The park is family owned and operated with a caring, courteous, and professional group of employees. The sites are mostly large, wooded, and private with tables and fire rings. We consider the park Big Rig friendly. BTL is very close to Avalon and Stone Harbor beaches (both have skate parks), Cape May Zoo, and a supermarket is a five minute drive away. First rate amenities including boccie, shuffleboard and basketball courts, lake and pool swimming options, mini golf, and beach tags to Avalon or Stone Harbor are available in the camp store. The activities are well planned and first rate, Monte Carlo night our first weekend was great fun, followed by the Christmas in July theme week which culminated with a Santa Claus visit during a large well attended Saturday evening beach party complete with DJ, Hot Dogs, and a bonfire. This park is an excellent choice for a family vacation, thanks Big Timber Lake! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We really enjoyed our visit to Big Timber Lake. We were there in mid-June which is before the busy season. The park felt very spacious, and most of the sites around us were empty which was nice. Our site was larger than most that we've encountered. It was level and partly shaded with lots of greenery around. The sites are more sand than grass which is my only complaint. If they would put in cement pads, I'd never stay anywhere else ever :-) The staff was extremely friendly and helpful - even moving us to a different site when we showed up with a camper that needed sewer instead of the pop-up we had originally planned to take. The activities for the kids were lots of fun. The pool was clean, but there are no lounge chairs, so bring your own. The bathhouse was very clean and air-conditioned. I love our little bathroom in our camper, but I wouldn't hesitate to stay here without one since theirs are so nice. The mosquitoes are a problem. But lots of bug spray took care of them. There are a lot of seasonals at BTL, but they were very friendly and welcoming. We can't wait to go back to Big Timber Lake!! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We enjoyed our stay. This was a nice campground. We camped with another family and at this time of the year it was not very busy which is always nice. We had a site that was very rocky and unlevel which wasn't the norm but, not the less that's what we had. I really think they were trying to spread all the guests out and that's ok. We definitely would camp here again. The staff was nice and overall it very clean. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Great campground!! Camped here last August, returned this year for 4 day Memorial weekend and left trailer to return for 2 more days this coming weekend (have pre-season leave your trailer on site promo). Lots of planned activities for the kids, great pool, swimming lake, fishing lake and playgrounds. Great set up (bath houses are very conveniently located among sections), great location to the Jersey shore beaches (only 5 minutes to Avalon and 15 minutes to Wildwood) and great staff. Staff is super friendly, caring and helpful. Another benefit to staying here is you can rent a beach pass for the beaches that require it for only $1/day. Avalon requires a beach pass for anyone over 12 years old but parking is free and they have a great bathroom at the parking area with a foot shower to get the sand off your feet and a great playground. Only downsides to this campground are the insane amount of golf carts flying around and the bugs! My guess is it's about a 60/40 mix of seasonal site to transient and it seems as if all the seasonals have golf carts, sometimes more than one per site, so they were everywhere. Most were cautious but watch out for the many pre-driving age teens. Not sure why as even though the campground is big, you can get anywhere you need to go within it via walking in a few minutes. Be prepared for the bugs -- Bring your own bug spray as the store charges $7/can. Bugs were not as bad in August of last year so not sure what was different this time around, but mosquitoes and these tiny biting gnats were kept at bay using the bug spray. This is a pet friendly campground, lots of campers with dogs, and Big Timber Lake has a great walking area along the backside of the lake to take your dog. We camped here with family on an adjacent site and the staff was very accommodating in getting us close to each other. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Have been there in the past also, the facilities are good, clean laundry rooms, bathrooms, the store is nicely equiped too. The staff is a bit "barky" and sharp. They do monitor the entrances well so it feels secure, specially if you have children. We liked the campground but found the staff a bit "abrasive" at times. Would camp there again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed in the pull through section. Sites were a bit sloped and were a little narrow, but very good access and length. Off-season is the best time at Jersey shore campgrounds,in my opinion. This campground is really busy in the summer,so in the off-season there is a big difference in the number of campers. Well maintained and staffed. We enjoyed our stay and will return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We enjoyed our stay at Big Timber Lake. The camp site was a nice size and we were next to the lake. The pool is an okay size, but if it got crowded, we went to the lake which was nice and clean. Lots of seasonal campers with huge set ups, but everyone was very friendly. Avalon and Stone Harbor beaches are very close by with lots of things to see and do. Wonderful place to stay at the Jersey shore! We will be going back for a week next summer. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Our site was private, shaded, and was located next to the catch-and-release fishing/swimming lake. The campground had very little vehicle and foot traffic in our area. The pool, store, restrooms, snack bar, and other facilities were clean and well maintained. The staff was courteous as well. We were particularly surprised at how well the seasonals were maintained, and how friendly most of the residents were. Overall, an excellent campground and a positive experience. We would camp here in the future. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Have to give it a 9, ONLY because the bugs, especially ticks, were terrible. I know of campgrounds that have at least traps for insects. Other than that, excellent. Probably the first "resort" we stayed at that I would actually call a "resort". Great for bike riding. OK game room. Snack bar was above average. Activities were excellent. Friendly staff with many employees. The septic ran uphill at our site, but that was a minor distraction. We would go back again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is our second stay at Big Timber. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The staff was friendly and helpful. The camp had fun activities during the weekend that where outstanding. This is a big plus when you have children. Wifi was available but is not free. Our pull through site was spacious and pretty level. The pool was well maintained. Bathroom and laundry facilities were cleaned daily. Enjoy the fact that it is within 20 minutes of all the Jersey shore activities and beaches. We plan to return here next year for the Memorial Day weekend and would recommend it to anyone. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nice woodsy lot Full Hookup, need longer than 30ft water hose for front. Teens loved the 2 fishing lakes. Very clean areas and large woodsy lots. Seasonals were kept very nice and mostly away from Transits sites. Very relaxing and somewhat private sites. After 11:30PM the wild golf carts were all over and annoying. For all the rules listed, they did not enforce this one. All through the night the lights flashed in/out of empty sites with partiers. Very dark at night/dangerous if you go walking with crazy riders out. Will return but request they control the golf carts after quiet time. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The C.G was really not that bad. The one bath house was a lot newer than the one by the store. The newer one was very clean where as the one by the store was a little more "used " This C.G had beach tags because in NJ some of the beaches you have to pay for. So you would give them $4.00 for a tag and when you returned the tag you got back $3.00. The activities for the kids were not that bad. The sites are a bit small. I have been to some CG that had smaller sites, so it was really not a big deal to us. We would go back to this C.G. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

One of our favorites! Very accommodating. When I had a family emergency in 2004, and had to leave in a real hurry, they let me leave my trailer there for almost a week at no charge. Pool, bathrooms, etc are always clean. Free coffee in the morning is a plus. Sites are large and easy to get into. They have lots of activities for the children. Only peeve is all the "extra fees". Great place. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We finally broke down and decided to buy our first fifth wheel RV. Big Timber Lake Camping Resort was our first outing. As newbies we had a lot to learn about all the fine points of RV'ing. The staff at Big Timber where extremely helpful and came out to show us all the little details our salesman didn't. We were so appreciative of their help and friendly disposition! The site we had was a pull through located right next to the pool, club house and office. A bit noisy at times but that is to be expected in a family oriented enviroment. We participated in the numerous activities with my 15 year old daughter and her friend and had a blast! The public bathrooms were clean and neat as were the laundry facilities. Key for me was they had excellent wifi service for those of us who are workaholics. The lot was a bit uneven but workable. We had full service hookup (WSE & Cable) which worked perfectly. The camp is only about 20 minutes from Wildwood so we were able to enjoy the boardwalk too! All in all we loved our first experience and would recommend this family friendly campground to everyone. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

A great home base to explore the Jersey Shore, large sites, friendly staff, and plenty of amenities make this campground a great choice for any camping family. Lots of imagination goes into the activites "Survivor" was the theme at the beach during our stay. A terrific arcade/ resturant/ice cream parlor/pavillion area can handle large crowds. Beach tags are available from the store, recycling is strongly encouraged, and management strives to make your stay memorable. Would definately return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We really liked this campground. So far this year I would have to say it was the best one we went to. We had a pull thru which was nice. (not leveled but okay) The campground is very clean. Staff are nice and helpful. It was opening of the pool when we went and the kids had fun there (pool is heated). Plenty of activities for the kids too. They have a miniature golf area which is decorated nice and lots of fun. We would camp there again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We chose this campground based on the ratings on this site, and we were disappointed. It's easy enough to get into and out of from the parkway, but the entrance is small and the office staff is not the friendliest. When we signed in, we were given a very outdated packet of papers of happenings in the area, clear garbage bags, a cable listing, and the rules of recycling in the campground. We were also given a site map. It was easy enough to find our pull-thru campsite since there are only nine of them; but we were at the end of the row, next to 3 seasonals that looked as if they'd been abandoned for years. There were rusty yard decorations and pieces of junk lying everywhere. Because several sites shared amenities off single poles, water lines were run back and forth, and we felt as if we had very little privacy regarding our water supply. The lots were not even close to being level, and we had to dip the trailer nose down considerably to accomodate the slope of the land. It was raining when we arrived, so the sandy soil was packed down considerably, but that didn't stop it from getting everywhere. We had plenty of room for the awning before the neighbors arrived, even though our slide-out was within 6 inches of a tree. But once the fifth-wheel next to us pulled in, our space became cramped and tight. In order to hook-up, the man and several of his friends from the other pull-thrus had to stand in and trudge through our site, within feet of our door. We had to move the picnic table right up against the trailer because it was blocking their paths. The slide-outs from the fifth wheel were within 3 feet of our awning once the gentleman next door extended them. However, we adjusted quickly since we were stuck inside with torrential rain. Due to the drought in NJ, we weren't allowed a campfire until a solid third day of rain, and by the time they took the no campfire signs down, they had closed the store so we couldn't buy wood. Using our wood blocks from storage, we were able to build a small fire but put it out and went inside before too long because the lights from the slide-outs from the fifth wheel lit up our area too much, and we just weren't enjoying the evening stuck in such a tight spot. I do have to say that though the pull-thrus were not wide, they were back-to-back campsites at one point so they were extremely long, but it wasn't helping our width issue. The lake for fishing was empty of fish, even when using fresh bait; every single amenity was closed for the season; and we didn't come across one seasonal person who was friendly. The comment about the speeding golf carts was correct. Teens were driving them around consistently, well into the night. My major complaint was that we were not told that there would be nothing open in the campground upon our arrival. I was told only the pool would be closed, but most everything was packed up tight for winter upon us pulling in, and what wasn't picked up yet was gathered while we were there. The park has a list that is literally a foot long telling you what you can't do, and they insist on recycling; I have a feeling that's what the clear garbage bags were for. I felt very confined because of the rules, and very worried that we weren't following them as closely as the park had wanted. There is a note that stipulates the park inspects their seasonals yearly, so right as we were packing up, the owners of the trailer next door finally showed up to clean their site. Throwing rusty grates, grills and bikes into their trailer door, they whipped around us in a flury to clean up their area. We were eyed suspiciously and the wave we initially gave was not returned. My husband was very dissatisfied and doesn't believe we will return. I think if it were summer and the amenities were open, things might have looked up for us and our teen son. But this park definitely caters to their seasonals and transient campers are treated as second-class. Overall, we were disappointed and probably will not return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Lots of flies, too many permanents that thought they owned the place, especially the pool. A bit rude there. Great location close to everything; good bike paths. Alleged lifeguards were mostly teenage girls hanging out with their friends not watching pool. Good entertainment. Swimming lake brown, stick to the pool. Store way too expensive. Staff friendly, overall a good place - would go back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The back-in site we had was good sized and we had a lot of shade which was appreciated as it was at least 93 degrees each day! There are a lot of seasonal people that camp there and most of the ones we met were fairly friendly. All of the other reviews about the speeding golf carts are an understatement! I can't count the number of times we almost got run over by a speeding cart and it wasn't just the teenagers driving them either! We felt that the restrooms near our site (which were by the office) desperately need to be updated. The worn and stained toilet seats and dingy showers made it appear dirtier than it probably really was. The pool was always crowded and there were a lot of unsupervised kids that were causing problems, so we didn't spend much time there. That being said, the staff was really friendly and the activities were entertaining. We enjoyed the ice-cream at the snack bar several times during our stay. It was an easy drive to any of the nearby beaches and the discounted beach tags the office sold were a great deal (make sure you get one because we were asked to show one each time we went to the beach!). Our experience at Big Timber was overall pretty good, and we would consider staying here again, especially if they updated the restroom facilities! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Decent CG. Overall, the sites were a good size, although ours (311) was narrow. Heated pool was nice. You can purchase beach tags for $1 at the office instead of paying the $5 daily fee. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is our third year camping here. Very close to Cape May, Wildwood boardwalk, Atlantic City, and Avalon Beach. Many close knit seasonal people with speeding golf cars! Some scheduled activities for kids & adults. Nice snack bar and campstore people very helpful. Site are shaded but bring plenty of bug sprays! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We camped at Big Timber Lake for one week for the past 2 years. There are plenty of amenities, we do not really use them. Sites are big and clean. Avalon beach is only 15 minutes away. It is the most beautiful beach in New Jersey. The only complaints I have is that you get alot of sand in your trailer and the bugs are very hungry. Bring your bug spray. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Large campground, lots of seasonals with about 200 transient sites, lots of different types of sites - wooded, by the lake, pull through, etc. Good activities, well run and organized, good security also. We had a very nice site right on the lake, sandy but private. Only negative was dust from the roads, otherwise great! We have been coming here for over 5 years now, and will return.
