I enjoyed the secluded location of the B13 campsite. There was very little flat surface available for locating tents, however. The distance to the boat ramp was convenient and the restroom/ shower facilities were very nice compared to others I have used at Stockton Lake.

We love Crabtree cove but absolutely hate the new check out time. It now cost me more money to enjoy the same amount of time as last year. Trying to rush everyone out so early results in a huge line at the dump station as well as the boat ramp. I’m all for an earlier check in and check out but this is ridiculous and clearly not well thought out.

Love this campground, however the 6:00 checkout is too late. Reserved it for a Friday and once we arrived we waited 4 hours before the previous campers left our spot. By the time they left it was too late to start a fire for dinner and had to eat fast food. We shouldn’t have to book a whole extra day we won’t use just to I ensure our spot will be empty when we get there.
