Can’t say enough good things about the park attendant Who went out of his way to help me fix my reservations which I’d messed up. Helped me get situated and kept the park very neat and tidy which made my stay a great one. Thanks

We had a really good time camping at Carter Cove. We especially like the distance between the campsites. The fish cleaning station is really nice and handy for cleaning fish.

I love this campsite. It’s usually a very quiet peaceful place. Not this particular time tho. We had so much rain , so there was a lot of flooding. That really didn’t bother us that much,but the amount of loud dogs that people don’t allow in their neighborhoods. There was a violent attack with a pit bull and a Rottweiler that no one would want to witness, especially the kids. Police was called.
I would hope that people would have more responsibility, but that’s life. This campsite is not a great swimming lake, but the facilities are not bad. The fishing is awesome and is known for crappie fishing and tournaments. Lots of natural beauty to hike! 👍👍👍

Go coast to coast and you won’t find bathrooms as neat and clean as they are at his park. Park attendants are very helpful and I even witnessed thee attendant back a unit in for an elderly man this trip. Just proves how helpful he is
