The peaceful atmosphere, beautiful lake for paddling, and well-maintained bathrooms contribute to a positive experience.

The campsite was really pretty right next to the lake. Be prepared for a somewhat unpleasant hike in and pack light as it is rocky and there are a couple fairly steep hills to navigate if you have heavy things. We will definitely be going back there.

The park is great—quiet and well maintained. Our particular site was a narrow fit for the camper (#7), but the area behind it was flat and a nicer area to gather.

Bathrooms not clean at all.
Another boat parked in our saved slip and when it was reported nothing was done.
We always follow rules,it’s too bad when those who don’t have no consequences.

We have always lived staying at Cowanesque Lake.. this year we had problems with our RV and were unable to contact anyone to cancel or modify our reservation… no answer at the campground, no answer at Recreation.gov 800 # and unable to modify on the website.. we did visit the campsite one day.. the bath houses were filthy and there was NO One at the gate/welcome gatehouse. It is so sad to see this beautiful campground in such a terrible state…

We had a 1wk stay at a very nice site just as you enter the Cove camp area. Many nice areas to take walks. Swimming area was quiet with just a few people, although very shallow. Ample garbage/recycle bins. Love the landing area where you can have your RV steps away from your boat. Biggest & only complaint was the shower & toilet areas for women were absolutely deplorable! It didn’t matter what time of day. Talked to several hosts but the uncleanliness was never addressed on our week stay. Don’t miss “Annie’s Market” in Laweranceville. Has great food & good selection & a very nice owner & employees.
