The so called tent site according the this web site. Was nothing but gravel on cement. The shore line was all big rocks and our kids kept getting hurt. The bathrooms were nasty and the camp ground host wasn't to pleasant either. They double booked my site and we had to leave after one night..

We went to Stockton for the Black Walnut Festival. The weather could not have been any better. The Camp site had plenty of space for our needs. You could see the lake on both sides of our camper. Crabtree Cove is a beautiful camp ground. We do most of our camping there. The only draw back is for week ends you have to reserve a site so far in advance. We don't always know when we will be going for the weekend.......... But since we are retired now we can go down for the week and have a quieter camping experience. We Love Crabtree Cove!!!

This is one of the nicest campground I have visited. We went over Labor Day weekend and the place was booked full. They had 2 cancellations so when we arrived we were told that we could move to one of the sites that had cancelled since where we originally booked was already overcrowded. So we got a bigger and much nicer site. For as busy as it was, cerfew time was followed and it was very peaceful and quiet at night. They have great walkways down to the lake where you can swim, fish, and play.
I recommend this camp site to anyone who has never been camping before all the way up to the experienced camper!
