Tall Chief Cove Campground

Loved this campground! We had such a great time camping here. It's a beautiful area right by the lake and it's so peaceful. The spaces are large and give you a great place to hang out and enjoy the outdoors and it's such a great price. The bathrooms/showers are nice and well kept as well. The only thing is watch out for scorpions. We saw quite a few during our stay here.

Showed up at sunset without a reservation and snagged a great spot right on the water. Site #17 was listed as electric only with no water, but it had a water spigot right next to the site. No sewer, although there is a dump station on your way out of the campground on the main road. I don't know if we just missed the dumpsters, but we couldn't find any dumpsters and there were no trash cans near the dump station. The views over the lake are pretty awesome. We slept through a crazy lightning storm that reflected off the water. Be careful of scorpions. We were chilling at the picnic table late at night and a scorpion crawled right next to our feet. Cell service (both AT&T and Verizon) was not fast, but it was adequate for getting some work done. Paid $24 for an overnight stay.

This is a great campground. Plan on reserving ahead for Friday thru Sunday. If it's open Sunday thru Thursday it's often listed as walkup. Other than those days there aren't any first come sites. Plenty of nearby water spickets. This lake has very clear water in most places. Beautiful. Some sites are pretty short. Some are large. Do some research if you have a large camper. Swim beach is closed, maybe until warmer weather. Clean and handicap accessible bathrooms and showers.

We came up for one night and really enjoyed our visit. Really nice area, nice restrooms. There's a good store called Betty's Country Store close by where we got breakfast. We will be coming up again!

I stayed four days and it was very peaceful! The camper was snuggled into a tree covered very shady space.THe bath house was kept very clean and stocked with paper, soap at all times. I would definitely recommend this camp sight as family-friendly!
