We rented in the A01-A10 area and had a tent. Wasn't bad because we have air matresses, but definitely would want to rent a different area with just a tent. The facilities were very clean and the campground staff was extremely nice.

I have been coming to Crab Tree Cove for a few years and have enjoyed my stays for the most part. I have stayed on pads A37, A37A A38 and A39. It appears that these pads are desperately in need of attention, The pads are very uneven and the edges are disintegrating making entering and exiting my trailer rather dangerous. I hope it is in the plans to repair these as I love the location but have very difficult times parking my trailer on them.

new restroom/shower facility was a much needed improvement . several sites were not avail because of being flooded earlier in the season, but that can't be avoided.

We have been campers at Crabtree for several years. The last 3 years have been exceptional! Clean facility! Wonderful people at the check station. View of the lake is the best! Keep it up.
