I had a site where there was nothing but rocks. I had 2 kids who play brought and it's not meant for tent camping or for children to play around. If the rocks weren't there it would if been a better experience.

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!!!

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..
