Our neighbors brought a goat and kept it in a cage and it cried a lot. They burned their trash in the fire pit when they left. They played loud music without regard for others. After the weekend the experience was great!

I gave it 2 stars because the sites are beautiful and we love the lake. Otherwise, it gets only 1 star. We will not be returning after going there many years. We stayed 6 nights on this trip and never once saw a ranger drive by. 2 of the sites around us had at least 20-30 people on them with music turned all the way up and dogs running freely. There were so many cars you could hardly get by them with a boat or trailer. Many complaints were made to the camp host who tried to tell them to turn down the music but the campers ignored them. If the campgrounds open April 1st, I believe the rangers should be available on the weekends.
We also were told that we could not come to our site before 6:00 pm on our check in day even though the site is empty. That is not a problem at any other park.
Tall Chief Cove has become a rowdy party park without any supervision. They are enforcing rules that don’t make that much difference but letting rules for safety just be ignored. We witnessed someone driving down a stretch of road by campsites doing at least 35 mph. All this reported to camp host which they could do nothing about and rangers were unavailable. We will stick to quieter campgrounds.

Policies & Rules
Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
