Indian Cove is just the best place to camp. Because you are within walls of boulders, the quiet is palpable. Just wonderful. People donned in headlamps climb the rocks at night and it is a joy to see/hear their joy as they reach the summit. Bathrooms are clean as are the sites themselves.
I just love it there! Always drag my heels upon leaving....

The campsite was beautiful and clean. The sky was amazing. The bathrooms/pit toilets were clean. Almost all the other campers were respectful, peaceful, and kind. Unfortunately, two teenage/young adult campers next to me made the experience pretty rotten. What a way to ruin what in all other ways was the most wonderful, magical experience at a gorgeous campground. That being said, it was a great location to hike the Boy Scout Trail.

Such a great place! I love that you can just drive right to your site. No checking-in or administrative hassles.
Don’t forget to bring water!

Nice campground. Clean and well maintained. Some sites are not too level so, if traveling in an RV you should plan to bring lots of leveling blocks. Vault toilets are clean. Fairly quiet but a few campers running generators outside of posted hours. Great climbing right in the campground.

Excellent campsite. Only issue worth mentioning is that the parking is shared and the site is about 100m away from the site itself!

This site was beautiful and it felt very private with no other sites extremely close. The restroom is close (but not right next to the site) which is nice. We had 2 2-person tents and there was more than enough space.

Beautiful scenery, great hiking/nature trails. Nice campsites. We were there on a very windy night. Would go back again if we are in the area.
