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! 👍👍👍
