Very beautiful camp ground! Enjoyed the short trail through the woods. Great playground for kids. Best part: the facilities were literally the cleanest I’ve ever seen at a campground. 10/10 recommend. it’s a short drive to the Crater of Diamonds so this is where we stay when get go.

The camp sites were clean, level, and as nice as I've seen anywhere. The bathrooms were in good working order and stocked with toilet paper. The host was knowledgeable and friendly. The fishing was good.

Cowhide Cove is a delightful place to experience living on a lake. Our site was lakeside, spacious and private. Bath house was clean and warm. Great showers! Camp ground was clean and camp host was very accommodating. Five stars all around.

Very quite. I enjoy this campground but it is a little isolated from civilization which I enjoy.

Beauty camping ground. My husband, our pup, and I came from Lousiana to camp. This place is so beautiful and very clean. Definitely will be coming back with more family.

Cowhide Cove was a very pleasant surprise. It's only 100 miles from our home, but we'd never been there. Some of the sites are very large with a lot of room around them. We spent a few days following Thanksgiving and had the park pretty much to ourselves. We plan to go back.

I typically camp off season. It was great to have hot showers and a pot washing station with hot water to clean my dishes. As usual the campground and bathroom facilities were clean.
