One of the best parks along with Sidran does need to be mowed though

The main issue with McCown Valley park is that they don't have a gate code like other COE parks. A registered family member had to arrive late and couldn't get in which resulted in paying for a hotel stay. Also, the gate remained wide open all day which allowed non-campers to roam through the park. There were some unsavory characters that repeatedly cruised through the park every day that we were there which posed a safety issue. I understand that when you're short-staffed you can't tie someone up with gate-keeping all day--but a gate code, issued to campers on the confirmation email, would solve all these problems. I strongly suggest that you look into that. Because of this shortcoming, we probably won't be back.

Rented the group pavilion for a youth group outing. Before the trip I had questions and tried to reach out to the park, this was a little more difficult than what I would have preferred as no one would answer the phone. However, after leaving a message and waiting a couple of days a very nice park ranger called me back and answered all my questions. Once we got to the park, I was more than pleased with the cleanliness of the grounds and the park employee that checked on us. Will definitely be booking this site again next year!

Our stay at McCown Valley was so enjoyable! The hosts, Betty, hubby and Fido were so attentive and friendly! The campground was very well maintained! We had a site that was a bit unlevel, but Betty allowed us to change it immediately. The next site was just beautiful! We'll surely look forward to going back again! Had quite a few laughs and talks w/Betty! Will miss you! Your friends, Aj and Carol from Bawston (aka) Boston!

Love McCown and Lake Whitney! The Park Hostess was so friendly and helpful. It’s our favorite camping spot. Thank you for keeping it so clean!

Only complain I would have is that the grass was too tall. Looks like it hadn’t been mowed in quite a while.

Showed up after dark without a reservation, trying to figure out kiosk the camp host came over and was very helpful getting us a easy spot to get into at night, (42' 5th wheel) and get registered on the website, (I was outside) then came by late and check if we got in ok and if we needed anything. Some host wouldn't go the extra distance to help with finding a spot.

They was electric and water hookup. Site was paved, but pretty sloped to one side, so leveling was necessary. There is a bathroom with one shower but it's quite old, dirty, and tons of bugs (also no heat in the building even though it was freezing temps outside).
