Crabtree cove was the only campsites in our 3-hour journey around this lake looking for a shady spot. Every site here in Crabtree cove with shady. It was fairly close to Stockton where there was only a small grocery store to choose from. No Walmart within 30 miles so make sure you have all your provisions. It is located on a point with water all around. One whole side is like a beach that you can swim from. Shower houses are far away up at the entrance but if you have a bike it's okay.

I like Crabtree Cove at Stockton Lake a lot I’ve been coming for many many years, but I miss some of our camp host and Hostess. In my opinion, the people you had the last few years are so inferior to some that we had before. I like Charlie and Mary and I really like Terry And Jim. I hear that they’re moving on though so hopefully next year we have some fantastic folks to have the honor of hosting a fine bunch of campers.
I think it’s time that you will evaluate your premium site since all the flags and trees. There’s two campsites they are not. I would put the premium at B9 and B8.
Also at the front of the campground entrance let people know that cans and clothes lines and cables do not burn and put only things to put in the fire pits.
Do I get a free night camping since I filled this out?
