When I first arrived at the campground I thought it to be a nice place. I pulled my camper into Cove 83 and began setting up. A thing I noticed was bits of trash and debris scattered around the site because previous campers failed to be responsible for their trash but also no one came to police the site after for quite some time. As I was setting up I couldn't avoid the neighbors across the road. There two adults and four young boys running around not only being quite loud but in their underwear with the two younger ones with diapers down at their knees. As the kids got louder the adults would scream at them from their chairs. I left my trailer to take a walk with my dog around the campground and as I was approaching the road the adult woman was bent over with her pants down around her knees and her big, huge posterior exposed to me. I came back some time later and there were a few more adults two got into a loud argument and the language was not appropriate not only for kids but for being in public.
I spoke to the camp hosts on that night and expressed my concerns and frustration with them pointing out there were over a dozen people at that site across from me all close together in and outside at the trailer there was not a mask in site on any of them. I asked about moving to another site away from those people with no offer of help given The camp hosts were only concerned about a vehicle parked on the grass and insisted there was nothing they could do and took a hands off attitude. They told me they looked at the reservation ticket and they were due to leave the following day.
I Told them if I was going to have to endure those people I would just leave but didn't want to be penalized my fees.
It was getting late and I decided o stay the night. Not long after 7 AM the noise from the kids began with the adults yelling at them and another foul argument between them. When I found out they were moving to the site beside me I notified the host asked for a ranger...

Tompkins Campground at Cowenesque Lake is a very nice "basic" campground. I say basic because it is not an RV resort with playgrounds and amusements for the kids, just good old fashioned camping. There is a nice beach at the lake for swimming and if you want to boat or fish, this is a great place. We stayed in a loop with water and electric, while most of the rest of the loops had full hookups. The sites are well spaced and nicely arranged. Once they complete the sewer hookups in the Cove loop, this facility would rate 5 stars, especially for those with a Senior Interagency Pass.

Been coming here since being opened.Found no one at the check-in building and just wander around to find the camp site.The site was clean but the pad was all moss and needed a good cleaning.All an all this is not what expect from what we know the sites where in the pass.Virus is not an excuse for what we found. We will probley stay again but will have to find a better site.
