This place totally reset my brain. The check in lady was super nice and the spot we got was right up near the trees so it felt really private even though it was busy. We spent all day swimming at the little beach area and the water was perfect, not too cold. Trying to figure out exactly how dirty we got the kids because they were having that much fun throwing rocks in the lake for hours. But honestly the best part was just sitting by the fire at night watching the stars with zero noise from the highway except some owls. I'm already looking at the calendar for next summer, we are absolutely coming back.

Beautiful campground, easy access to the lake, good cell phone and data coverage on Verizon or AT&T. Its expensive at $64 a night for a tent campsite. Clean Restroom and clean campground. Lots of Bugs. If you take your vehicle to the day use area it’s $10.00.

Our first time at this campground and area and we loved it! Smooth and easy booking process. Very family friendly! Restrooms were very clean with plumbing and running water. Highly recommend and we will be back!

We love spring cove and camp here every year. The mosquitos and heat get a bit more difficult each time, but it’s still our favorite spot. Shout out to Steve for being an amazing camp host! He dropped by regularly to check on us which was appreciated. He even took our trash to the dumpster for us one evening! Hope we get to see him again next year.

We had originally booked sites 35 and 36 for my husband and me, as well as my parents, with the intention of setting up pop-up tent trailers on both sites. Site 35 was listed as a pull-through site with a 30ft by 12ft cement pad. However, upon arrival, we found that the pad was only about 15 feet long and 6 feet wide, and it was not a pull-through as described. There was also a stream between the cement pad and the grassy area, which made things quite muddy. Site 36, where my parents were to stay, had an even smaller cement pad. They were unable to fit either their truck or pop-up trailer on it. Thankfully, the camp host was the kindest we’ve ever encountered in all our camping trips. He went above and beyond, moving us to a more suitable site that could better accommodate my husband’s disability, and relocating my parents to our previous site. The location was beautiful, and the service exceptional, but we would strongly recommend that the campground review and update the descriptions of their campsites for accuracy.
