What Guests Are Saying

Camp Cook Campsite offers an excellent value with a spacious site for just $8, featuring a clean outhouse and a large, accessible picnic table. The area is quiet and private, ideal for a peaceful camping experience. However, there is no cell service with Verizon, and some maintenance is needed on access trails and grass height.

A wonderful boon docking site. There is no longer a water pump at the site.

Excellent campsite! It is an absolute steal for the $8 fee (+ $8 again for booking fee online). The site is huge!! The outhouse was clean and even had toilet paper still. The picnic table looked very new and was large and accessible (space at the end for a wheelchair). It would be helpful to have a sign indicating the site, because you could easily drive past it otherwise. I used my phone's navigation and had no trouble finding it though. The area was extremely quiet and because the entrance loops a bit off the main road it was very private as well. Thank you to the previous camper(s) who kindly left some stacked firewood/kindling. It had been raining the whole day that I arrived so that was a pleasant surprise. The pictures online don't do the site justice. You can't go wrong booking the Camp Cook campsite!
