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!

Cowhide Cove is a quiet and clean campground. The bathhouse was very clean with great hot water. I liked the design, which put the showers in a separate part of the building from the toilets. It kept the humidity down and the floors dry where you want them to be. Even though the campground was 95% full the nights that we stayed, it still felt peaceful and quiet. The tent only spots (35 and 36) are very close to each other, but apart from the rest of the camp. We didn't hear any generator noise. I'm also glad my family booked both tent spots, otherwise, we would have been a little too close for comfort.We didn't witness any ranger patrols and even though we know the host was present, they didn't come around to chat. However, when a new camper lit up a toasty campfire (in spite of the burn ban and the very visible banners at the entrance notifying us) the ranger was present in an instant to douse it. Close to Crater of Diamonds for digging, but not much else. Even with the lake low, the views of the water were still beautiful. We hope to come back when it is not so dry.

This site is beautiful but is very close to site 35 despite the image on the campground map. Site 35 is an immediate neighbor to the right. We were able to hear our neighbors all day and night. Fortunately, we had friendly campground neighbors but it is a good thing to know if you are interested in site 36. The raccoons are rather used to people and made off with food mere feet away from us. That was a new experience for me despite having stayed at dozens of other state and COE campgrounds.

I typically camp off season. It was great to have hot showers and a pot washing station with hot water to clean my dishes. As usual the campground and bathroom facilities were clean.

Campground and washroom facilities were clean as always. I have stayed at this campground for the last few years in the fall and the views were awesome. The two tent only sites are now available to be reserved online. They also now have electricity to both tent sites. They used to be a first come - first served sites. It was difficult to book online since the cell service at this campsite is limited. We had to go to the top of the hill at the Narrows Dam campsites to reserve our site.

We had a great time. We were a little disappointed that we didn’t get to have a fire due to the burn ban that was going on. If this is a thing you look forward to then you might want to check to see if there is a burn ban before you go.
