I truly enjoyed my stay at he Council Grove Lake. There is only one complaint I have and that’s that the grass was so tall. The island part was worse then else where. I was told by the volunteers that it never got mowed twice in a row when the rest got mowed. Not only did it look bad but walking in it was nasty.

Had a blast! This is by far my favorite lake. This was the first time my husband had been to Council Grove lake and it is now his favorite lake as well, so much so that we have made reservations for two different weekends.

This was our second camper vacation at Richey Cove. We absolutely loved it and plan on many more stays here. Richey Cove is clean and well shaded. All the people we met were friendly and helpful. Our famiy enjoys this beautiful area and we have found our favorite campsite.

Nice campground next to the lake. Lots of shade and nice shelters with picnic tables under them at the campsite.
