Cove Creek is a fantastic area to camp. Be prepared for hikers to wonder through, but a great spot otherwise.

The spot is perfect as usual. But yet again, the water did not work at all! We come several times a year, usually in the winter. Thought they would have the water situation figured out by now. Seems like we should get a refund for having to buy water!

Would have been excellent except that once again there was no water available at the site. Upper Cover Creek. The pump house needs to be fixed.
