Main womens bathroom is always full of bugs and spiders. There is a big gap under the door. The handicap stall does not lock, hasn't for a long time. I appreciate always having plenty of toilet paper in each stall.
The grass was tall this time, it usually isn't that bad. I really like camping at Cove because it is peaceful but it is becoming more unkept.

The site and view were great.

It is not really a good campground for tents due to vault bathroom reasons. The "modern" facilities you have to drive to.

Very nice area to camp. My one suggestion is: give better directions to the park. GPS coordinates would be extremely helpful.

Very nice spot but it’s not super level and it has a pretty decent downslope. It’s a very scenic spot.
