I stayed there for an off-road event. Brought my RV and stayed in site 1. The sire was narrow but usable. I needed to disconnect my trailer to fit (my neighbors were into my site a little bit). We figured it out, and all was ok. The bathrooms in site 1 were adequate, and the shower in site 3 was very nice (but far, I had to drive to get to it). Overall, it was a very nice experience staying at the Cove!

I visited "THE COVE CAMPGROUND" to use the gun range that they have. I was pleasantly surprised, once paying the very reasonable fee to use the range I got to enjoy the drive out. The area was beautiful this time of year with the changing of the leaves. Once at the range, I was there alone for and git to enjoy being out and only hearing the squirrels russel under the leaves. There are tables ready for all your pewpews . It's a tad bit of rough drive, so have a vehicle with some ground clearance but won't need 4WD. They also have trails for ATV enjoyment and camping and swimming area. Also, they have a LONG range range.. I will be back even though it's a drive it's completely worth it.

If you're looking for quiet camping in the middle of nowhere, you found it. We did tent camping and it was peaceful and beautiful with lots of room to spread out with multiple families camping together. The prices were a little disappointing. $25 per person I understand and even the $10 per kid. The $40 deposit for the site seemed excessive as well as $20 per kayak per day. Also, understanding the 24 hour rule is important. If you come into the camp at 10am, you'll have to leave by 10am, even though no one else will be coming into the site bc you don't have to say when you're coming. I'm not sure if we will go back as it ended up costing us a lot more than we expected even though it was beautiful. Just check and call them to confirm all prices and times ahead of time.

The Cove gives you access to a lot of activities you might not have around you. They have a 500 yd shooting range which is worth it to me alone(must pay separately). The campground is charming and has a lot of room to walk, run, or bike. Some campgrounds are fairly close, but there is enough room that you can be on opposite corners of each other and be comfortable. The swimming area is very clean, a bluegrass band came out to play, it felt very alive. Overall a comfortable place to experience a multitude of outdoor activities, we’ll definitely be back :)

The camping area is quite nice with some great-looking lakes. We had a good time and the electricity is reliable. We questioned why the water was not on for a mid-march outing, but other than that, the camping was good. I do think that the prices are a bit steep, but I understand that it probably costs money to maintain the area and keep staff. With that said, we will definitely be back again.

The shooting range, it was good. The deer came up right upside from the target and the deer didn't even react for gun shots
