Quarry Cove

We did visit several other COE campgrounds on the lake - Quarry Cove is the nicest. No sites have direct access to the water, but most are shaded. Sites have some separation and are staggered which makes the site feel larger. The bathrooms are not cleaned well, and the showers are an odd, almost unusable configuration.

You can pull your boat up on the shore by the boat ramp is you want to leave it overnight.

Nice place to camp. No problems of any kind.

We had an amazing time. The swim area was devine. We camped one night on our way to TX and one night on our way back from TX. Both times were amazing.

On the way back we were actually booked for a sight at a neighboring campground on the same lake. We arrived and attempted to go swimming and it was nothing but a muddy area that was not maintained. We rebooked at Quarry Cove that same night, packed up and headed back to Quarry Cove.

I can not say enough about how beautiful, calming and refreshing it was to be at the campground. We will definitely be planning a trip back.

We had a very good time at lake Nimrod.

Unfortunately, this was our worst experience in 45 years. The bathrooms had no soap in them and we asked the "fill in" gate attendant about it. We had mentioned it to the regular gate attendant prior only to be told that he did not want to put soap in the auto dispensers because kids play with them and get soap on the floor. I don't know any kids that would stand in front of an automatic soap dispenser for an extended amount of time just to get soap all over the floor ( it would take too long). Regardless, maintenance was called as well as the park Ranger in charge of the campground attendants. Soap was put in the bathrooms problem solved right?........NOT !!! We had left the campground and upon returning, the regular gate attendants were at the gate house unloading their groceries. We stopped to say hi like we always do however, they both began yelling and cursing us like we were criminals for calling their boss. We have been friends with these people for several years and this totally shocked us and hurt my wife more than she ever deserved from them. They thought we had called their supervisor and reported them ,Which We Did Not, the substitute gate attendant had made the call. Regardless, NO ONE should ever be treated as bad as we were for no reason. We are still having effects from the pandemic and soap is a huge asset in beating this thing so people (customers) should not have been denied that necessity anyway. We were not impressed by the way this situation was handled with such a hurtful and demeaning action. Professionalism and courtesy have gone by the wayside in our society these days. The best part of this was the Park Ranger Lisa, she was the shining light and kept our spirits up even though we were totally crushed by the situation and ready to just give up. We finished our stay with the gate attendants totally avoiding us even as they passed by our camp site a few times. We had absolutely NO apology from the attendants the rest of our stay.

Camp hosts were very friendly and took great care of the restrooms. Corps of engineers worked very hard on the swim beach and mowing. Looked great,
