Great tent and cottage experience

My kid(12) and I had a great experience here: 2 nights in tents and 2 in a River Cottage. The tent camping is not quite"roughing it": there's pretty reliable WiFi and the bath house is air conditioned and kept very clean. Moving to the cottage was meant to be easier in my kid, but I didn't expect all the amenities: refrigerator, screened in porch, and very comfy beds. The drive down the mountain is a little nerve-wracking for a city boy, and my car's low clearance had me scraping my underside on some rocky bumps inside the property, but that's just a heads-up, not a complaint. Would definitely go back!

Nice basic campground

Camped at Wilderness Cove in August 2020 for 2 nights.  Very clean, small, quiet campground.  Tents only, they do have some cabins for rent.  Nice clean bath house.  Was able to access wifi near the tubing office.  Prices are extremely reasonable.  Their website is very accurate.  I will be staying here again next week.
