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.

Great campsite, fun to hang at the lake and super clean bathrooms! Also sold firewood.

The campsite was great. My complaints have to do with the other campers. Some of the other campers were disrespectful by letting their kids run wild and screaming through other campsites. Also, the loud generators running most of the night made it difficult to enjoy ourselves.

Beautiful campsite next to the reservoir! The campsites are very spacious and they include a storage locker.

It was a great location and being right on the water was amazing! The restroom was a vaulted toilet and it was very clean. Be prepared, there is not any running water or drinking water. The staff was wonderful and we had a blast!!

Water was low, and very few trees for shade. But otherwise beautiful.

We really like this place. Good facilities, great views! It would be five stars if it had electric hookups.

It was disappointing how pow the reservoir was.

Unfortunately the water level is very low right now so the spot we chose next to the water was not what we expected. It was a good 1/2 mi away from the shore instead. We also experienced bats flying around our campsite as soon as it was dusk which drive us into our tent sooner than we’d have liked.
