This is a great campground! It's a beautiful location right by the lake, and there are so many amenities. We stayed in the lower tent camping area, and it was very quiet and comfortable.

Bathrooms were clean and well stocked. Quiet stay with helpful attendant.
Signage into park needed. Showers need updating (no place to set your soap of shampoo bottles during bathing.

My family & I had an amazing time camping at Cowhide Cove. It's a tiny, quiet, & quaint little campground. The bathrooms were fairly clean, but the shower heads made it difficult to get all of the soap off your hair and body. We were also disappointed that all of the grassy areas in the campground had not been mowed in quite some time. Other than the showers and long grass, we had a great time and can't wait to visit again!

Roads extremely narrow. No signage to tell you what the numbered sites were, Went to two other campgrounds in there before someone told us where we needed to be.

This place has a beautiful view. The park itself lacks maintenance. The grass at our site was taller than the fire pit. Definitely needs some TLC.
