Big Woods Lake Recreation Area, Cedar Falls

This facility is AMAZING! This is a community park that appears to be well known among the local region. Currently, it is $30/night for full hook ups and is big enough to accomodate our 65ft rig at many sites, there are pull through and back in spots, first come first serve. Due to our size we opted for a pull through in mid September. The grounds and local community are beatiful and well kept up. There is a paved lake walk that is about 1.25mi around as well as other local walking and biking opportunities. Bathroom is maintained with showers, no laundry. Regularly patrolled by park rangers. Highly recommend this facility and community.

This is a really nice park, connected to lots of trails in the Cedar Valley. There is a campground, a few cabins, and the lake is very fun to explore via Kayaks. We love to go early in the morning to get a really nice experience with mother nature and all the animals.

This is a really beautiful park with lots to do. But unfortunately it is lacking in restroom facilities, so it will really limit how much time you and your family will want to stay. Vault toilets with a horrible smell, zero privacy, and the buildings have no roof. I repeat no roof. So the space is completely exposed to the elements, you will need to bring your own tissue.

Nice campground (we tent camped). Nice trail all the way around the lake. Bathrooms, sadly on opposite end from tent camping area, were clean with a small playground outside. We had 4 adults and 3 kids, 3 and under - it worked well for us!

The trails are nice, there's a combination of paved and grass trails. There are beautiful views of the lake and the lake itself is great for non motorized recreation. However there is no swimming allowed in the lake. It is also good for fishing on the main Lake and the back Waters to the west of the bridge. The only knock is there is often a lot of vegetation that is reaching out to the very edge or even over the trail that makes it pretty tight in areas especially in the corners, make me some of the corners blind so use a lot of caution for bikes and runners
