Indian Cove Campground offers a beautiful setting surrounded by stunning rock formations, making it ideal for families and friends. Campsites are clean, well-maintained, and equipped with fire pits and picnic tables, with easy access to water nearby. While some sites are close together and noise from activities can be disruptive, many visitors appreciate the friendly atmosphere, great climbing opportunities, and breathtaking stargazing at night.

It’s a beautiful spot with huge boulders. We set by the firepit at night under sky full of stars. In the morning we climb the boulders to the top, kids had a fun unique experience

Love this campground, I’ve been solo camping and group camping here for a few years now and still my favorite place. So so safe, good space between camps and so many stars!

This is one of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed - the scenery is almost hard to comprehend - is in 3D CGI or is it real-life - I am still not sure. Good size spaces (I have a 22'), although some of the spots, for longer rigs may be tough. There are pull thru sites. Definitely recommend!

Great campground, a lot of camp spots are not even close to being level. If that's not a concern then all the camp spots are great.

We stayed at campsite 55, we liked the spot but it’s a bit small and very close to neighbors. We slept in a RTT, there was not a level spot unless you pitched in parking area. The parking was very spacious and we had plenty of room between us and the neighbors. Views were amazing and our kids loved the stargazing. Very close to restrooms but they needed some attention, the smell was almost unbearable. We went into the park and used the restrooms at split rock and they smelled great compared to the ones at the campground. Other than that it was great experience, we will be back to this campground again.

We stayed in site 61 with our 25ft Airstream travel trailer. I don't think that any length of travel trailer could really get into this site facing the "correct" direction of traffic for the campground loop. It's the last site on the loop, so we came in the "wrong" way and had plenty of room, and then backed back down the road when we went to leave. It was pretty easy to navigate once we figured out how we could get into the site. The site is pretty unlevel side-to-side but the views were so incredible that we didn't mind. We just did our best with leveling ramps and then called it good. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
