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.

Richie Cove is a popular location where you can camp just next to the beach, out on a peninsula, or near the boat ramp. Most of the sites have plenty of shade. We always enjoy camping there.

The facilities were impeccably clean, the grass was nicely trimmed and the park was in very good order for great spring camping.

Very nice camp site. The shower houses and rest rooms were clean and well stocked. The only complaint were the boat docks. The water was so low we could not get our boat in the water. Docks need to be floating docks.
