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.

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.

Love the location but most of the sites need work. Shower house and bathrooms are updated and kept up and clean. Campground attendants are great. The campsites look like they did in the 70's and are built for small campers without slides.
