Quarry cove campsite #13 was awesome! Very close to playground and close to bathrooms/showers. The incline is worse than pictures though. Camper spot was but there weren’t options for a flat tent spot. Other sites looked to be better for tents since they had fatter spots. Overall great campground! We loved nimrod lake. We also had perfect service through Verizon.

It's a nice little RV Park with plenty of shade, covered picnic tables and a nice place to fish. But some of the water faucets are more than one hose length from the narrow pads so bring two or fill your tank on the way in and use your water pump.

We have been staying regularly at Quarry Cove since the early 70s. The park and attendants have always been pleasant and mindful of our needs. The slower ,more relaxed type of camping suits us old timers just fine. If you want thrill a minute entertainment this probably isn't the place for you. If on the other hand you are inclined to like fishing, visiting with neighbors and a quiet place to relax this is a hidden gem. My only complaint is that the CORPS. sees fit to close it every winter from December to March. They do have a few sites at River Road and Carter Cove that remain open but to us they are lesser sites. If you want to camp from March to December then this is a good bet, providing the CORPS, and various contractors can get their work done and not cancel your reservation a week or two before you are set to arrive as happened to us Last spring. We rate it 8.5 out of 10 but it could easily be a 10 with different CORPS. management. IMO
