Every thing was great ! The boast was kind and friendly. Had a relaxing week until I went to the dump station! The water connection had been cut off the black tank water flushing hose! This is the second hose that hasnt worked correctly! The black water flushing is an extremely important part of maintaining the black tank! The maintenance crew needs to have this on their check lists of things to check daily! So a great week ended with major frustration ( again this year) because I was unable to flush my black tank!

They did not have a garbage can at each site. I had to walk three sites down to go to the garbage cans to throw my trash away. I thought this was very inconvenient when I was there before everyone had their own trashcan.

We had Verizon cell service, which is important to us with elderly parents. Lot 25 is not for large Motorhomes, we had to park over the fire ring to get our rig level. But we had a beautiful view of the lake.

This was a great camping experience. The shower heads need replacing and adjust the shower handles so the hot/cold works better. Overall, love the area I picked to camp. I'm planning to come back soon!

We enjoyed camping by the water with friends. The campground was quiet and the restroom is well maintained. We don't fish or have a boat so activities on site were limited to a short bike ride and a little bird-watching. We drove about 20 minutes to Crater of Diamonds State Park one day. Murfreesboro has a few cute shops.

Lovely place!

This was our 4th year spending Thanksgiving in this beautiful place. We always enjoy shopping in Murfreesboro, and Hot Springs is about an hour north if there's a need for bigger retail.

The camp site was wonderful! The restroom and showers not so much. The showers need repair and the bathroom needed a good cleaning. The shower heads were broken and there wasnt a pull down bench in any stalls for the disabled.

Really enjoyed the camping experience. The showers could use new curtains and more hooks to help keep items dry.Not sure if its possible, but would like to see sewer hook ups on lower level of camping sites. I was surprised to see the low water levels, hoping it will be up by spring, the swimming barriers were almost on the shore. The rattle snake trail needs to be cleared to be able to give small children a hiking experience. Playground was nice. Area was kept clean. Love the area, everyone was so nice and helpful with information. I will definitely be back. Tell everyone involved they are appreciated

The camp host was great as were the park rangers that I spoke with. The restrooms and showers were clean. The park itself is very nice.

Beautiful, quiet, and enjoyed our stay. The only knock on area is the lack of shower curtains. There are a bazillion ways to do things, like even plywood doors, and I do wish they would look into fixing this. Otherwise, it was wonderful.

Our first time to visit and we loved the location, it is a smaller campground in which we prefer. Very quiet and was well maintained. Very clean restroom/shower which is a must in my book! A lot of shady areas and some spots have sewer hookups. We will definitely be coming back soon. Enjoyed the small town of Murfreesboro.

New Cowhide Cove is a beautiful campground. The RV sites are shady and arranged nicely. The campground was very quiet and we loved the fact that there are very few street lamps so the skies are very dark at night.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
