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.

No one has camped here in months. Dark and creepy.

We really enjoyed our time at this campsite because it was very secluded and a large area that we had to ourselves over the weekend. It is a very primitive campsite but the outhouse was better than I expected. I would recommend bringing a roll of toilet paper just in case though. The only issue we had is that the GPS location is not correct for the site and the site itself is not labeled. We were able to look at the written directions (which were listed as starting in a different direction than we were traveling) and the picture of the map in order to find the exact location of the site. Overall we enjoyed the solitude of the site!
