Council Grove Lake's US Army Corps of Engineers manages Richey Cove South, operating from April through October with full hookups accommodating RVs up to 95 feet. The campground provides multiple access options including drive-in, walk-in, hike-in, and boat-in sites, with amenities ranging from showers and restrooms to a dump station.
A sandy swimming beach features a designated swimmer-only section, while boaters can use the adjacent ramp and dock facilities. The layout includes a narrow peninsula section known locally as "the island" that draws frequent visitors, plus group camping areas and a playground.
