The bathrooms are only a few years old and there is mold growing in the corners of the ceilings. The water flow in the showers is more a trickle than a spray. The fire pits do not look like they have been cleaned in a couple of years. The electric sites are only 30 amp. Various sites are drop offs from your camper requiring you to have additional steps to safely exit your camper.
Other Core campgrounds have clean facilities and level concrete pads with 30/50 amp hook ups. Stockton has a great lake but the campgrounds are behind others.

A beautiful setting for camping near the lake. We normally try to avoid weekend camping because of the crowds and noise, but this was not a problem at Crabtree Cove.

Nice spot to camp. Bathrooms across the road and just down the hill is a no wake cove area for swimmers, kayakers or whatever. Beside the bathrooms is a play area and concrete basketball goal. More parking for boats and trailers here as well. I was able to pull the boat up to the bank and just have a short walk up the hill to the campsite. Easy electrical hookups. Not too far from town.

Some pads are very uneven. Come prepared to level your trailer.
Lots of trees for shade and many birds of different kinds that are nice to watch.

Some of the sites are close together but there are a few with a bit more privacy. Nice staff. They just started a check-in at 4:00 which is ridiculous. Obviously those who made that rule aren’t campers!
