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!

We stayed in sites 8 and 9. The sites are spacious. They are beachfront with some afternoon shade. The tail of our camper faced the east. The cove is a nice swimming area. There is an official swimming beach near the campsite. I would warn anyone camping along the beach to be aware that on the weekend, especially during the summer months, it is very likely boats will beach themselves right behind your camper or somewhere along the shoreline. With that, can come loud music and partying. At minimum, restricting your view of the lake.
