This was my second time camping at Indian Cove in the last six months, and I continue to enjoy this campground for its secluded feelaway from everything else. Overall, it was clean, though we did pick up some trash ourselves.One thing to keep in mind is that the campsites are very close together, so your experience may depend on your neighbors. My partner and I had quiet neighbors during the day, but around 9 PM, a group arrived next to us and was quite loud. Additionally, expect to see a lot of vans and RVs. I wish there were a campground specifically for those who prefer tent camping and a more immersive nature experience.Despite these minor drawbacks, I still appreciate Indian Cove and would return!

Great campsite, lots of cute wildlife, watched some rock climbers from the campsite, only downside was that the bathroom doors don't lock.

Site 72 is beautiful, but sits in a wind tunnel, so cooking is a bit difficult.

Beautiful and convenient campground with water at the nearby ranger station. We walked on the beautiful nature trail in the campground and saw lizards, woodpeckers, and quail. Would definitely stay here again!

Nice place to camp and climb rocks. Rattlesnake canyon just adjacent to the campground is a nice place to do some bouldering. In the winter months after rain, the wash is flowing with water, and water is running off some of the steep rocks. Depressions in the rocks trap some of the water in them.

I like the location next to the rocks, however the campsite is small and you are right next to your neighbor.
