My sister and I stayed here and really enjoyed our stay. Our view of the lake was beautiful. Bathrooms could have been cleaned more often, there was a smell in them.

We stayed at spot 38, it is situated between the playground and swim beach, closer to the playground. Having all the hookups including waste made it a pleasurable stay. Verizon service was spotty at the site. Overall it's a nice quiet campground!

We've been going to Cowhide for years and as always it was great. The flies like to haul us away. I don't remember them ever being this bad.

The campground is beautiful. There is one hiking trail that could use some maintenance.

Site 31 had a lovely view and was close to the restroom facilities but all else was terrible. The site is too small to maneuver a pull-behind and leave room for neighbors. We needed to level 6 inches side to side, which was the least amount we could find in the limited site area. We never did achieve level and even this was so far off center that we were too close to the picnic table and fire ring to be able to use them.

We stayed in campsite 21 and it was definitely the best one! Private, beautiful, and right on the water with only 1 neighbor! Sites are a good size with a flat tent/camper area. Bathrooms are just up the hill and have hot showers. The bathrooms are old and the showers are run down. Bring shower shoes/flip flops to use in the shower. Close to crater of diamonds. There is nowhere close by to get ice or firewood. Pick some up in the surrounding towns before you go. We would stay here again.
