We really love Tall Chief Cove but lately
There hasn’t been any gate attendants
Spoty at best
Park is clean and so are the restrooms but when it get dark the As—hole teenagers race their cars around loop C and even drive down to the water
Go to the gate no one at the trailers to talk to

The campground and spots are very nice. We had plenty of shade. The only thing we weren't prepared for was sharing a water connection 100 ft away with other camp spots. Bring a hose splitter and plenty of hose.

Dual water hook up a little far away, no sewer hook up could be better. Nice and quiet

First time camping at Talk Chief and it did not disappoint! Make sure to go to The Lighthouse at Marina to eat while you’re there.

The grounds are well kept, staff very professional, and easy access to the boat ramp as well as space at the campsite to store the boat if needed.

We will certainly be back and appreciate you accommodating us.

Picnic tables under water. Could have let us know about that but, it happens. No toilet paper most of the time and feces spread on the walls of the rest room. Not the best experience.
