10 spots (9 singles/1 double) primitive campground. Only 1 or 2 spots could accommodate a small RV, mostly tent camping or van camping. No sign for entrance so it's easy to miss on the hairpin curve. Sites are good sized, and fairly well spaced from each other, but most have room for only 1 vehicle.
Cute little place in a beautiful area! Right down the street from Helen. I enjoyed every second spent here.
Restrooms are in dire need of attention. They are an extreme biohazard. The hand pump well was contaminated with E-Coli as of Memorial Day 23'. Boil water advisory was posted on a small sign next to the well. Some tent pads were very rocky and the others had washed out driveways. We stayed at spot 1 which was the best space of all, it had plenty of room to fit 2 vehicles and 2 tents as well as 2 lantern hooks and a useable fire ring. There's lots of heavy truck traffic during the day with frequent engine brake use. Things quiet down in the late evening but expect to be woken up bright and early. The location of site 1 and its tent pad also seem to line up with the road so that all of the headlights from passing cars will shine on your tent. This spot also seems to attract some very suspicious behavior from other visitors and could use some more oversight from the FS rangers. I've contacted the National Forest Service about this campground and hope they can restore it to an exceptional site. Andrew's Cove has tons of potential.
$5 accomodations for $12. It's so close to the road you can hear traffic coming from a mile away. The outhouse is NOT maintained and is so dilapidated the hillsides are dotted with TP. Tent pads are about 8ft sq and are the only level areas at each spot. The honor pay box has a gap at the top that people mistakenly put their money in. Then, on Monday, thieves roll up and try to fish them out.
Chemical pit toilets, could be usable if people would close the lid after use. But I always bring my own camping potty. Nice little campground. Little road traffic, but nothing to bad.
