Mcfadden Cove offers a clean and well-maintained campground with a convenient location near a boat ramp and marina, making it ideal for outdoor activities. Campers appreciate the clean bathrooms and shaded sites, as well as the friendly camp host who assists in site selection. While some improvements are desired, such as adding a shower and dump station, overall visitors enjoy their experience and express a willingness to return.

We enjoyed our stay. We enjoyed the easy access to the lake. There was staff cleaning the bathrooms often, emptying trash cans often and taking care of the campground very frequently. We will most definitely be back.

McFadden cove is supposed to be a first come first serve camp ground. We went Thursday around noon to camp and most of the sites had reserved signs on them and nothing on the sites, not even a chair. We were only able to find a site up at the front even tho most of the sites were empty. These sites were reserved days before these campers even showed up. I am very angry because these campers were allowed to reserve these sites and not even show up until the next day or not at all. This new change to reservations at McFadden Cove ruins it for us and many others that like to camp but can’t make plans ahead of time. It used to be fun just to show up and camp at McFadden but now that people can just pay a few bucks to reserve it and not even be there to camp for days, it’s just like Osage Cove, Sarge Creek, Coon creek and the others. It’s a shame to change McFadden Cove to Reservations. The Reservers have plenty of other camps to go to. Please go back to first come first serve with on site occupancy. I only got to camp one time this summer and it was ruined by jerks that reserved most of the sites and didn’t even show up until the next day or not at all. Completely empty sites with reserved signs ruin it for everyone except the jerks that get to stay home and just come whenever they want.

This location is out away from the city and offers close proximity to many amenities: the Hide Away Marina great for family fun with live music entertainment, boat rentals, and a restaurant! The swim beach is just on the other side of the dam for daily outings if you don’t have access to the water by a boat. Perfect for a single mom and her little one’s to have a vacation!
