Just need to open day use gate for ppl with passes so we dont have to sit in line for 30 min due to that forever slow ticket machine.

Mccowen Valley Park is and has always been our go to place on Lake Whitney. Many camps are conveniently located close to the water where a boat can be beached or anchored.

Bathrooms and hot showers were great. Nice and quiet camping.

We had problems with the day area people letting there big horse dog run loose on us. We wound up leaving earlier because people in boats wanted to come dock at the bank one went right over our poles at our spot got my line caught in the Motor. That day was a waste of my 12 dollars because the boat people who werent even camped there docked and partied not sure if we will come back it was very disappointing the kids couldnt swim and we couldnt fish at the spot we paid for. We were at spot 053

I originally was in a site 3 with 30 amp. It was beautiful, shaded and not too close to neighbors. The Verizon cell service there was spotty. I moved to a non electric tent site, 53, because its right on the water and no one else was there. The cell service was much better, 3 bars Verizon. I could access the internet. The grounds for hiking, biking, boating are fabulous. Nice playgrounds for kids. The staff was extremely helpful and kind. I would definitely return.

I stayed here for one night with my mini camper van and my dog. Beautiful setting right on the lake, campsites were spread out, there was nobody else in the tent camping loop when I stayed there. The bathrooms were FULL OF BUGS but harmless moth-type bugs, but the shower had really nice hot water, so I didn't mind too much about the bugs. You can back your vehicle right up to the campsite, and there was a water spigot right there by the picnic table. I would definitely stay here again. My dog had a great time walking along the beach - beware some dead fish!

Great Swimming, Easy access to bank fishing, plenty of beach front. Nice and quiet. Clean and well serviced. Hot water showers are wonderful.
