Cove is a beautiful little campground close to the river for relaxing days and nights. Restrooms and campsites were clean and Deb was super nice and friendly. Keep in mind that the parking spots for sites 1 and 2 are right next to each other so prepare to be social if both parties are car camping. Otherwise, the actual fire pit and tent pad for site 2 is close to the vehicles while the fire pit and pad for site 1 is more secluded, closer to the river, and is a 1-2 minute walk downstream from the vehicles. Would love to return anytime.

It is a great, quiet location. There are fisherman up and down the river near camp. They can sometimes be loud. An excellent launching point for adventure.

Nice location by the river and good privacy.

Nice site by creek but longer walk-in than other sites. Long drive to campground but not crowded & walking distance to Overlook Trail & dam. Vault a bit dark in daylight but well stocked with TP.

Unfortunately it was about the only day we've had rain this year and we ended up not spending the night, but that isn't the reason for the rating. Bathrooms were pretty gross. The 1 and 2 campsites are different. Both park right next to #2 site, #1 site is a 100' walk down from the parking spot.

We had some weather issues -- high winds, which are not uncommon here and elsewhere in Colorado, a June snow fall, rare but happens. The campground host came around to let us know there was snow in the forecast, there hadn't been when we checked in the day before and we appreciated the heads-up. Decided to stay and managed fine, was pretty and all melted quickly once the sun came out. This is such a beautiful place, we love camping here.

The eleven mile canyon is so peaceful and the cove campground is nestled along side the river which allowed for such a serene experience!
