What Guests Are Saying

Hillsboro Cove is a well-maintained campground with spacious, clean sites, many of which offer beautiful waterfront views. Visitors appreciate the proximity to the beach area and the availability of amenities like clean restrooms and picnic tables. However, there are some concerns regarding maintenance, including issues with power, hot water in showers, and the condition of the entry road, which detracts from the overall experience for some guests.

Water lines to campground need repaired. Pit-toilet at boat ramp wasn’t resupplied during our stay and men’s toilet needs repaired. The park could use some maintenance work.

Loved the view of the lake out of my windows. It’s a very clean campground,
Also very quite and I liked that it didn’t have street lights glaring down all night long.

We were traveling through looking for a convenient location on Hwy 56. It was great and loved the layouts of
the campsites. Will return.

Very nice spot right on the water. Site 12 was great and close to the bathroom as well.

The site was not as level as other sites we have used at Hillsboro Cove. In the past there was hot water for the showers.

We booked site 6 and when we showed up, the site didn’t have electricity. Neither did 5 or 7. We told the volunteer camp host and they recommended us to look around to see if there were any other campsites available for us to camp at. It was very frustrating and our camper is rather long so we only fit in certain spots. There needs to be a note on the reservation site or block out the sites on the app so that no one else ends up driving over an hour to camp and can’t due to no electricity. Very frustrating.

Hate having to write this review this was the cleanest quietest camping experience I've ever had fishing was for the most part was very good lots of shade. The shower/bathrooms were always clean The reason for not wanting to write this review is I dont want everyone to find this place but if they do I say 10 outta 10 most definitely recommend 👌

I liked having the ability to choose my campsite in advance of our arrival. The campsite was level and both the water and electric service was acceptable.
