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.

Enjoyed our stay. We even caught some nice trout.

We camped in the area where site 5 and 6 are, and it had great access to the water and nice, large open sites that you could fit multiple tents on. It was very exposed where we were though, so the wind was a problem at times (and it was just a rainy, cloudier weekend). It's an easy drive around the reservoir to the other side with fantastic hiking trails.

I loved it , we enjoyed the privacy of the site we stayed , nobody around us on a Monday /Tuesday. Bathroom was extra clean, the only struggle we had was the wind but we pulled it together and enjoyed every second of it .

Best campground I’ve stayed in recent memory! Beautiful scenery with plenty of spaces between campsites. Host was incredible and welcoming, will be staying again once open for the season!

Camp host was great. Site 1 is quiet and away from the other sites.

Large spread out campsites and extremely clean restrooms.We hit the fall colors just right and took a beautiful hike through the aspens at lower cataract lake. The camp host was very friendly and helpful.

This site has hands down the cleanest pit toilets I’ve ever seen! Based on the cleaning sheet, looks like they’re cleaned twice per day, and you can really tell!
Sites are mostly as shown and easy to find. Not that that only one or two of the sites have trees. We camped in September 2021 and the sun was brutal in the afternoon.
Camp ground hosts were friendly, too.

We had a nice time. Really nice campsite in the sagebrush country on water. The Apple Maps took us 15 mi in a different direction to dispersed camping. Be sure to read the directions on the email!
