The Cove is a highly coveted camping site, with only (3) 25 ft or less RV sites and a few tent sites. However, these sites are small even if your RV meets the under 25 ft requirement. I've stayed at both site 3 and site 4. Site 3 has plenty of space to maneuver and back your RV in but if your tow vehicle is a full size truck be prepared that your truck will partial block the only road to site 2. Site 3 should be at a graded down at a minimum or continue to have serious leveling challenges, requiring a great deal of preparation and skill to make it work. Site 4 has plenty of room to park and level an RV within the requirements but maneuverability is something to be desired. There's plenty of space to park a full size vehicle in next to your RV after it's parked and leveled but site 4 requires a bit more road room to angle in your RV without jackknifing it. Site 2 isn't without its challenges as well. The road leading back to these sites is always partially blocked by fisherman who ignore the "no parking" signs knowing there's no consequences to illegally park. As a whole, these RV camping sites could be more user friendly with minimal improvement efforts. I give it a 3 star review because the camping location alone is absolutely breathtaking.

Be aware, campsite #3 at Cove campground has a huge slope required at least 15 inches of tongue lift to the level a trailer, making this a potentially dangerous process.

Overall the campground was nice and well maintained. eleven mile canyon itself was very crowded and the anglers descended onto the river adjacent to the campground from dawn until about 2pm. We were at campground 4 which was nice but take note the car parking is not level and the tent site and picnic table is about a staircase walk away from the cars.

Bathroom isn’t the best, spot 3 and 4 are secluded and are great to camp in.

When I arrived the campsite was occupied by the neighboring site occupant so that he could get better reception with his Starlink dish. I waited an hour and had to go find the camp host. She graciously set me up at another campground but I was unhappy with the size of the parking area there as it was directly next to the highly -trafficked road which diminished my outdoor experience greatly. I'll never stay at Eleven Mile again. Too busy and poorly designed.

Very nice campground spot set back away from others. Good river access and hiking trails near by. Only downside is the bathroom.

We enjoy coming to this campground because it is small and not crowded. Hiking up the cliffs behind the sites is fun, listening to the song birds is wonderful, and of course we catch huge rainbows and browns all day long.
