Bathrooms were not great at all. Ants on all of our groups camp grounds were TERRIBLE. Could be an amazing spot if better taken care of

Pretty park but the grass needs to be cut on a regular basis. All bathrooms needed to be cleaned and the bathroom across the road from campsites 1 thru 10, the shower drain was clogged and unusable.
Park needs some care.

Vary clean facilities and friendly staff, law enforcement does regular patrols of the camps sites making me and the family feel comfortable and safe. Showers are a little gross and drains are clogged so they flood the whole bathroom. Beautiful park tho.

Mccowen Valley Park is and has always been our go to place on Lake Whitney. Many camps are conveniently located close to the water where a boat can be beached or anchored.

Our original site was closed due to flooding so we moved to another site that said it could fit up to a 40β trailer. Ours is 32β.Thank goodness my husband can maneuver & backup well because that siteβs 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

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

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.
