Very clean spots that are a great size for our familt of 5. We were able to spread out and enjoy ourselves. The sheriff and park ranger drive through a lot which makes us feel safe and that's probably why they're so clean. Definitely recommend.

Hillsboro Cove is our favorite place to go. We have camping sites that are closer to home, but it's worth the extra drive. Spacious spots, lots of open area to walk our fur-baby and easy access to the water. We always enjoy the quick trip in to Hillsboro for a treat at Sonic.

We had a great time. There was no camp host, so you were kind of on your own if questions arose. The park ranger and county sheriff made rounds. We had no noise or rowdiness issues so that was a plus. Our niece was camped across from us and had no water hook up and then they had a water pump issue. The sites on either side of us though "reserved" had no one all weekend. It would have been great to have someone to discuss the availability of those sites and allow them to move to a water access site.

We love staying at Hillsboro Cove. The majority of the sites have their own private access to the water. Well maintained restrooms/showers and plenty of open area for walking your four-legged family members.
