We had one of the best days of our lives on this campsite. We were the only ones on the island and the weather was perfect for 2 days.

Very nice lakeside campsite. Fire ring less than 20 feet from the water.
Pad slopes down from the road which added a bit of extra work to get backed in and level in our 5th wheel. Definitely will keep this site in mind for future trips.

The campgrounds was nice. Clean and easy to get around. The boat ramp was nice and easy to use. I like the bathroom and shower house was great. They do need to be cleaned better and the showers need some work. The lake was great. Now as far as tent camping at site one there needs to be some dirt work to give some level ground for the tents. Not a deal breaker but would like to have leveler ground. Will camp here again

Richey Cove is an excellent camping spot with the swimming beach and everything all in one spot. I stayed in spot 001 with my son and it was perfect for tent camping. Will definitely be going back!
