Tall Chief Cove is a great place to stay! The Hosts are great, too. We love our stays and the facilities are good.
However, maintenance needs to be done on the sites. Roots sticking out of the ground, trees not trimmed on bigger spots for the tall campers, a lot of the entrances into the pads are washed out on the sides, which makes it hard to back in and could damage your camper when you drop off. In the past few years, the beautiful beach has been closed for low water and now there has been a huge cut in Park Rangers, so the beach can’t be reopened.
We will continue to go back and hope things are improved.

loved being close to the water, but the spot we were in had very little area that was suitable for a tent, it was spot 54. it was all rocks and i had to take my foot and scrape all the loose rocks back, to where we could have a smooth floor. would be a great spot if they would haul in a load of dirt and cover the rocks. it would give you a better place for a tent and would of been much shadier. as it was we were in the sun in late afternoon.

The campsites and restrooms were very clean and tidy. The access to electricity and well water for our dogs helped out greatly. Will be back soon.

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.
