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.
