We enjoy this camp site very much. Go for extended family yearly camping trip and all enjoy it from the oldest to the youngest.

This was a nice spot at the end of the cove. Nice fishing or swimming hole. It also offered exploratory trails at the end of the cove.The Geese was lovely to watch also.

The showers need new curtains it wouldnt stay closed when we tried to use them. They were torn from some of the hooks.
@KevinY5350087 · Camped on Mar 27, 2025 at Campsite #32
Nicely kept and out of the way.

Great campground. Host is outstanding. I hope I get to return sometime.

The showers are lacking. The heads dont spray correctly and the water temperature for October and especially November needs to be warmer
@HollyS6412107 · Camped on Oct 27, 2024 at Campsite #48
This park is amazing. Love to kayak from the campsite in the morning. Thank you!

@jeremyg1254575 · Camped on Oct 17, 2024 at Campsite #21
Close proximity to lake-front, amenities in good working order. Would camp there again.

We stayed here while we went to Crater of Diamonds. It one of the most beautiful camp grounds we've ever seen! The water in the lake was crystal clear, just beautiful, the trees were changing color and reflected in the water..gorgeous!
@DavidH4978786 · Camped on Oct 14, 2024 at Campsite #8
Very well maintained. Clean. Hot Water Shower. Awesome!
@JoeB9521197 · Camped on Oct 7, 2024 at Campsite #20
Great view, but site needs smaller more uniform gravel. Hard for an old man like me to walk on.
@SDaleHC4FC4ACB · Camped on Sep 29, 2024 at Campsite #24
This was a very nice campground, cleand and quiet. Any site would have captured the beauty of the lake.
@StevenH4575591 · Camped on Aug 23, 2024 at Campsite #50
clean as well as the trash pick up is regular. The park host came by and was AWSOME.
@JonathanW14164 · Camped on Jul 31, 2024 at Campsite #48
Nice quiet place to relax and enjoy the view and watch the geese fly in and land. Only complaint would be how unlevel the site was, had to add 5 inches of blocks to one side to level the camper. Site #48 if you plan to stay here bring plenty of leveling blocks.
@BeckyW5017392 · Camped on Jul 21, 2024 at Campsite #27
We always enjoy going to Cowhide Cove it is great for families.
@WilliamC221307 · Camped on Jun 22, 2024 at Campsite #46
All the other campers were considerate and friendly ,campground was clean, it was really hot so the water got a little warm. There were 2 dogs running loose so we had to be super vigilant with our dogs, but overall it was a great camping trip. We will definitely camp there again.
@JenniferP95895 · Camped on Jun 18, 2024 at Campsite #12
Absolutely beautiful place,. Friendly people who care and community.
@JoshJ4073887 · Camped on Jun 1, 2024 at Campsite #12
really enjoyed this campground. thought it was really neat to have a swimming area specifically for the campground rather than a public area where we are sharing with lots of others + have to drive to, etc. the grounds were kept nicely. our spot was nice & level. we will be back!
@LoniF33C9CD7CA · Camped on May 31, 2024 at Campsite #38
Didnt have a great site. In fact, probably the worst site of the entire camp ground. However, it was a nice stay. Wish the sites were bigger and spaced further apart in places.
@LeeT6177EF0777 · Camped on May 10, 2024 at Campsite #38
We stayed at spot 38, it is situated between the playground and swim beach, closer to the playground. Having all the hookups including waste made it a pleasurable stay. Verizon service was spotty at the site. Overall it's a nice quiet campground!
@BethanieWD7B64 · Camped on May 7, 2024 at Campsite #34
Very relaxing, chill campground.

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.
@Wondering - Oregon
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.
