Dennis Cove Campground is praised for its beautiful scenery, well-maintained campsites, and friendly camp host, Dale, who enhances the overall experience with his knowledge and hospitality. Campers appreciate the peaceful and secluded atmosphere, ideal for unplugging and enjoying nature, with easy access to hiking trails and a lovely creek. However, some reviews mention minor issues, such as the need for better bathroom facilities and occasional maintenance concerns, while overall, the campground remains a favored destination for many.

The quiet forest and Laurel Fork Creek are highlights. The restrooms and the grounds are completely clean and well cared for. The camp host is Dale, and he is wonderful. Dale is friendly, helpful, courteous, and hard-working. There are various hiking trails and falls nearby, and it is less than 30 minutes from a town for supplies.

We had a great experience on the evening of September 25, 2021. We wish we could have stayed longer. The camp host is Dale, and he is very accommodating. The restrooms and the grounds are clean. There are activities for anyone who loves camping, fishing, hiking, wading, or just reading in your hammock.
It is quiet and safe, with a gate that is locked from 10 p.m.-7 a.m. Highly recommend, but wish it was a secret.

Dennis Cove is a magical place. Deep in the woods up a very narrow twisty turny mountain road. No cell or internet was such a needed break from life. Dale, the campground host, is such an awesome and unique person. He took great care of the campground and bathrooms. I highly recommend this campground if you are looking for a quiet getaway where you can't be reached. I'd still be there but the limit is 14 days.
