Our campsite #25 was great. Flat gravel pad, no issues with electric hook up or water spigot. The bathrooms were clean and close by. Only reason I'm knocking a star is because there was no hot water for the showers (at least not after running it for two minutes). This wasn't as problematic for us as it may be for others because our RV is equipped with a small shower to use as back up.

Place was clean, easy to park and setup and was very private. Would definitely go again.

The campground has really gone downhill, the grass isn't mowed and there are several spaces that are overgrown and a couple of spots where the table covers at leaning over.

Really nice sites with many backing up to the water. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that the entry road needs some maintenance.

Went during the week. Was clean and quiet. Our location backed up to the water. Fire wood furnished. We'll be returning.

This was a nice campground that we stayed at for one night while traveling. The campsites had covered tables and very nice grills along with potable water. The restrooms/showers were well maintained.

We've been visiting the Cove for several years and it's our favorite place for a quiet get away. Several areas are not as well kept as they had been in the past. I'm guessing that it's due to funding cuts. Overall, it's still beautiful and peaceful, and the many waterfront sites are well maintained. We also appreciate the spaciousness of each site. We will definitely be back!
