We camped there in January in our 26 ft. self contained trailer. One other camper was there, just the way we like it. No water or services were available in winter. Hiked the trail around the lake clock wise. A little over 4 mi. At the end was a large tree blocking the trail. We had difficulty getting around it. We camp here several times a year. Winter is best for scenery and hiking.

Cove Lake is beautiful. We love the view from our campsite overlooking the lake. The people that work there are always nice. The area is always tidy and we feel safe camping at Cove Lake

Beautiful, quiet location with well maintained grounds.
Be proactive against ticks though when you visit.
Will certainly be back.
