Nice family campground. Some trees need some trimming up a little higher. Very relaxing.

We chose a shady spot because it was fairly hot. The site we chose had electricity but no water, so we had to fill our tank. It would be really nice to have water at every site out there.

Water pressure is lacking but other than that I enjoyed the experience. Nice big sites.

Nice and shady camping spot. Noticed several dead trees in the area that need removed. Wish the interior camping spots had 50 amp in this cove.

We enjoy staying at Hillsboro Cove. But with this particular stay, I experienced something that really bothered me. I had made reservations online 5 days prior to our arrival. When I arrived, I was surprised to see someone else already setup in the campsite I had reserved. Rather than be confrontational, I decided to go ahead and setup in the site next to our original site. The gentleman in our site had taken it upon himself just to pick a site and setup. It turns out that he went to pay at the camp host and was told his site was reserved by someone else. He came back and told me about it and this is when I told him we were supposed to have that site. By this time, I had already setup our trailer. If there had been someone at the gate, checking in campers as they come into the park, this could have been avoided. I realize there is a sign saying that you should reserve online, but people travelling across country may not be aware of this and the sign at the gatehouse is not big enough to easily see and notice.

When we visited there were only four RVs in the park. Quiet, beautiful views and clean. As someone traveling through what more would you want.

sites were good, but lack of volunteers has shown. Each canopy over the picnic tables needed a good power washing for wasp nests and spiders. We didn't have a problem with either of those. The bathrooms also needed the bugs and spiders washed out of them. No other complaints.
