Sunset Cove Campground

Very nice boat ramp and slips. Fish cleaning station is nice. Bathrooms and grounds are kept clean and tidy. Campground is very near a major hiway. Campsites are adequate but the ground is dirt (no grass, etc). Lots of trees that provide shade.

Very nice , clean, a little rd noise.

I really liked the set-up of this campground. for our annual family camping trip we had three sites and they were all in a triangle so it felt like we were the only people there with easy access to all three sites. The campground is small with only 15 sites which helped us feel alone. It is next to the highway so if you are a light sleeper I would not recommend it unless you have ear plugs. The boat launch was extremely convenient, they even had boat slips available. I would definitely stay here again.

Kudos to a nice camp host at Sunset Cove - so much different than our last few experiences this year. On that note we are frequent campers. This year we have experienced "rude" and almost belligerent camp hosts at both Hay Stack Reservoir and Smiling River. Why they cannot come into camp and introduce their self and explain rules is beyond me. I am more than willing to comply to their request if done politely. Instead they sit in the cart and shout and are quite rude in their manner. I understand they interact with all kinds of people in their job - it can't be easy. But not ALL campers are not all rude. It leaves me with a bad attitude.
Please address the rudeness of camp hosts and etiquette of introducing themselves and starting on the right foot. I love USFS camping and hate to see it turn to what we have experienced this summer.

Odell Lake is very beautiful. There are great boat launch amenities at Sunset Cove campground. However, it is right off of the highway and there is constant road noise, even until late in the evening. The road noise made it difficult to relax in camp. It is a beautiful area, especially if you plan to spend most of your time on the water.

Multiple groups with dogs off leashes running everywhere. Groups yelling and shining flashlights in other campers faces at 10pm. People leaving fires unattended during extreme fire risk. And camp hosts did not care or do anything about any of the above.
