Camp site was fine. Grass was tall enough the hosts felt it warranted an apology. It was fine with me. The wild flowers were visible.
Men's facility #3 is in need of work

The beach area was amazing! The water was much cleaner than other lakes I've swam in. The sand covered the bottom of the whole swim area. There wasn't any garbage or excess debris along the beach area. The bathrooms had excellent working hot showers!

We have been going to mccown valley for 20+ years. But we have always had to mow our own camping spots and a path to the water everytime. Rain or shine the grass should never be higher than a normal lawn. There is absolutely no excuse for high grass. Either maintain it or choose a type of landscaping that does not require grass around the camp sites. One guy could maintain the entire park.

Rented the covered shelter at McCown Park Whitney. They grass was really tall and I ended up eaten up with chiggers because of it. I went by prior to our date and saw the grass already tall. I spoke to a Park Ranger about it. He told me I could bring a push mower and mow it and they wouldn't be mad at me!! I am 69 years old ! I told them that I paid a good size fee to use that area and it should be mowed when someone has it rented. Instead.... all we got was chigger bites. Also lots of wasp nests under the shelter. Bathroom were anything but clean and we arrived at 9:30am so it's unlikely someone messed it all up that early in the morning. I was quite disappointed. I rent the shelter often but will think twice now as it seems there is not one person who cares. OH also I bought a pass at Mccown. Waited to try to find someone to get me that placard. Finally found someone who said I have to go across the lake to the dam area office. I did. It is a long drive but I did it. WHY would you not just put a machine at the office so you can buy it there and get your placard all in one place? It's insanity. Sorry to give such negative feedback but it is my honest experience

Our original site was closed due to flooding so we moved to another site that said it could fit up to a 40’ trailer. Ours is 32’.Thank goodness my husband can maneuver & backup well because that site’s trees were so close together & over grown we barely fit. We were basically jack knifed in the spot. Still love COE parks but will try to Google Earth next time before making a reservation at McCown
