One of the nicest campgrounds I’ve stayed at.

Large mostly shady and level sites. Sewer hook ups can be far from water and electric—may need extra hose. No Verizon at #8, had to go to marina/boat ramp. Trails are mowed grass and buggy and muddy. Lots of snapping turtles nesting in early June—be careful as they are on the roads getting to nesting locations. Good road biking on Bliss Road. A few OTA tv stations.

Very poor cell phone reception and no local TV channels. I didn't need either, so not an issue for me. Was close to the boat dock, so could watch the action. Rest rooms and campground were very clean. Not the first time we've been here, so we knew what was going on.

Very clean , quiet campground. Had water and electric. Camp sites were a little closer than I prefer. Tight fit getting my pickup parked on site. No room for two vehicles, few overflow parking close by. It could use another trail or two.

We love it here! The campground is clean, the sites are large and spaced nicely. The playgrounds are great, and the lake is beautiful. We highly recommend this campground and can't wait for our next trip here!

We love cowanesque lake camping! My wish was it was open later in the season to enjoy some fall camping as well!
