Great site! A lot of fun activities to do with kids. Never found the hiking trails but we never got the chance to ask. The volunteers were so friendly and helpful. Shout out to Chris especially for extra wood for my boys’ campfire. Spectacular location to see sunrise and sunset over the lake. I recommend the C loop.

We love Tall Chief Cove EXCEPT… will not/do not book the last week of September - first few weeks of October on C loop as there is a large religious group that takes over almost the entire loop and turns the place into a zoo — quite the opposite of the retreat and relaxation that our family goes camping for. They have several families on each site, trash the bathrooms (I feel bad for the wonderful cleaning crew), play their music at the pavilion early in the morning, throughout the day, and late at night, and don’t care if their dogs bark their heads off. I have inquired at the gate about this group and all I get is that they cannot do anything about this group booking. There needs to be something done, because a public place such as this is NOT the appropriate place for a private gathering of this size and length. We love camping in the fall, for good reason, but this group has caused us to go elsewhere. Please do something!!

Park host was very nice.
Bathrooms looked like they were recently painted.
Quiet park. Good spacing between campsites. Good lake views.

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.
