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.

We had a lot of fun! My husband hasn't seen all of the stars away night before, and we were in the perfect place for viewing. I would highly recommend this area to anyone. The only issue we had was: we tried fishing but were unsuccessful because the water was so high into the willows our lines kept getting caught. Otherwise, it was an enjoyable experience!
