Many visitors enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, beautiful lake views, and well-maintained restrooms and showers.

Overall, many campers express a desire to return.

We were in Loop B. All back in sites. Paved with picnic table. Power at site and shared water with next site. We needed close to 75' of water hose. Bring a hose Y.

Lovely setting on the lake.

Tall Chief Cove is a great place to camp. The area is beautiful and the spaces are very spacious. If you like to go for a walk it's a great place to get in a couple mile walk by going around the loops. There are lots of activity options in the area as well. The bathrooms/showers, while you do have to watch for scorpions, are very nice and kept extremely clean. This is definitely going on our list of places to come back and visit.

We have stayed a few days on two separate occasions. Each time the lots have been clean and the park looks great. We stayed in lot A13 last time. The width of the lot is not very wide and the edge drops off about 6 to 8 inches. When you put the steps down, they came right to the edge of the drop off. We found this to be not very safe, especially for older people. Other than that, everything we have seen has been great at the park, including the restrooms. We enjoy going there a lot!

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.
