I've camped below the dam many times throughout my life but this was my first time camping at Hunter Cove. The sites were clean and secluded and offered a variety of hook-ups and facilities (bathroom, water, showers, etc.). The view of the lake was wonderful and the site is close to any services you might need in Republican City or Alma.
