Cowhide Cove is not a large camping area and that is what we like for our children and grandchildren. It's quiet and everyone is always so nice and helpful.

Cowhide Cove is amazing. We go every year, it’s a smaller campground so not over crowded. We love it!!

Nice park. Have camped here for years. Do not like that everything is reservation only. Makes it hard to find a site.

I have grown up in Cowhide Cove. My family started camping there while my mom was pregnant with me and we came every year after until all our groups older children started high school. We stopped coming for years then when I had a family we started coming back. I went through a divorce but camping and Cowhide Cove was very important to me so I still have been coming every year or sometimes a couple times a year. To me it is the best place to camp and I will continue coming until I’m no longer able
