Beautiful, quiet, and enjoyed our stay. The only knock on area is the lack of shower curtains. There are a bazillion ways to do things, like even plywood doors, and I do wish they would look into fixing this. Otherwise, it was wonderful.

The camp host was great as were the park rangers that I spoke with. The restrooms and showers were clean. The park itself is very nice.

Really enjoyed the camping experience. The showers could use new curtains and more hooks to help keep items dry.
Not sure if it’s possible, but would like to see sewer hook ups on lower level of camping sites. I was surprised to see the low water levels, hoping it will be up by spring, the swimming barriers were almost on the shore. The rattle snake trail needs to be cleared to be able to give small children a hiking experience. Playground was nice. Area was kept clean. Love the area, everyone was so nice and helpful with information. I will definitely be back. Tell everyone involved they are appreciated

Our first time to visit and we loved the location, it is a smaller campground in which we prefer. Very quiet and was well maintained. Very clean restroom/shower which is a must in my book! A lot of shady areas and some spots have sewer hookups. We will definitely be coming back soon. Enjoyed the small town of Murfreesboro.

New Cowhide Cove is a beautiful campground. The RV sites are shady and arranged nicely. The campground was very quiet and we loved the fact that there are very few street lamps so the skies are very dark at night.

The hosts where very nice and helpful, upon arrival they did think we would have a hard time backing into our spot so they changed us to a different spot and everything went really well.
