Nice clean restroom when we arrived, area mowed, and camping areas neat. Trash was kept from overflowing. So much nicer than our spring camping experience.
This time was like it use to be. We enjoy camping at Hillsboro Cove

Entrance road is a terror and serious accident waiting to happen. Although I’ve called and wrote several times, nothing is done.
Road is washed out with huge holes.
Enter at your own risk!!

It would have been nice if the shelter would have been clean. Another plus would be having the area mowed instead of having to navigate 1-3 foot tall grass. It also would have been nice if the women’s restroom would have been accessible.

As we are both mobility challenged, this spot was FANTASTIC! Close to the water for fishing, and easy to park the RV.

To be fair, there had been a lot of rain just before I camped here. I stayed for about 10 days. Many sites were flooded, but not blocked off. Everything was very overgrown, even the areas that were not flooded at all. I found the site itself to be very level and spacious. The campground as a whole was very quiet and enjoyable.

The entrance road is gonna do some serious damage to vehicles entering/leaving the area.
Been bad for the last 2 years and getting worse.
Area is not mowed as it used to be.
Some sites have been out of service for a long time.
Too bad, used to be our favorite place to camp.

We enjoyed being directly on the lake. We camped in mid-fall and there were not many people at the campground. The bathrooms/showers were clean and accessable. We enjoyed our stay.

25 was a nice spot. It had good privacy. It was backwards, the picnic table, etc. were on the opposite side to the door. There was water access but it was a little ways back and shrubbery blocking it.
