What Guests Are Saying
Cow Creek South offers beautiful views and a well-maintained campground with clean facilities, making it a favorite for many visitors. However, low water levels this season made lake access difficult, and some campers experienced noisy neighbors and challenges with the wind. Overall, the location is appreciated for its natural beauty and spacious sites, though visitors are encouraged to plan their trips for earlier in the year for better conditions.

It is pretty far from Frisco. It is almost and hour and at least 45 minutes form frisco. It is very remote. Just FYI!

This is a great campground. Well maintained and the campsites are spaced out so you feel like you’ve got your own area. The kids loved biking around the campsite roads and it was close to hiking and water sports!

We stayed in site 16. We loved the space and proximity to the lake. Only drawback of this spot is there are no trees except a bit of shrubbery which gave a bit of privacy with campsite 15 (that's a plus). Make sure you take a canopy for shade as it can get very sunny out there. Star gazing was amazing. Overall had a nice time.

Our camping experience was disappointing due to a lack of communication and availability from the camp host. The camp host never stopped by our site, and when we went to the host’s site, no one was available despite there being two vehicles outside the camper.
Additionally, we were not notified in advance about how low the water level was. The water was so low that we were unable to access it for the water activities we had planned. This would have been important information to know before arriving so we could have adjusted our plans accordingly.

the water was so low and the shore was like quick sand mud so it was very hard to get to the water. plus the boat ramp was closed for the season due to water level so didn’t get a chance to use my kayak or anything /: otherwise it was beautiful

The host was really great & the bathrooms were very clean + didn’t stink at all! The lake of course is sadly very low this year, most places to get in were just a muddy mess - hopefully next year water will be better! There was of course some entitled camper that thought they didn’t have to leash their dogs & tried to attack ours, but besides that — it was great!

Always love coming to this spot but keep in mind, with the dry winter, there is hardly anything in the lake.

Very windy- couldn’t get the tent up. lake was at 30% capacity and about a .25 mi walk to the water. The last 50 ft were straight down. We left within 90 mins of arrival.

We had loud neighbors that made lots of noise well beyond 10pm. One of the neighbor kids tried to steal our paddle board, and I caught him in the act. It’s really a shame.
