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.

Our site was very spacious with a great view of the lake. Site was level. Water pressure seemed a little low compared to what we’re used to at other parks. The campground was quiet. Several owners let their dogs off leash, which isn’t the campground’s fault, but still annoying. The only reason we didn’t give it 5 stars is due to all the random items (trash?) that was left around our site. It was definitely stuff that had been left there, and not blown in. That being said, we would definitely return.
