Cove Loop Campground — Steamboat Rock State Park

It had many, many years since I’d stayed at Steamboat Rock State Park. So much had changed, but for the better. We happened to reserve a spot in the Cove loop and we couldn’t have been more thrilled with our space. Beautiful view of Banks Lake and the mountain cliffs beyond. Although there is no mature trees the spaces are quite large so your neighbors are not within earshot. The grounds are well maintained and the staff are constantly working to keep everything looking beautiful. We’ll make this an annual destination.

Pristine sites with unbelievable views everywhere you look.

Quiet, spacious sites, beautiful scenery.

We have visited here twice, once when it was hot during the summer and once this last spring.  The spring time was amazing! Granted, it was rather chilly and not a whole lot of people there but it was so quiet and the water was still partially frozen over so the view was incredible from the top of the "boat".  The stars were absolutely incredible to see at night when all the lights were out! Not a lot of trees around so you could see the whole ski!

Each site has access to nicely manicured lawn. The lake is a lot of fun and great walleye fishing. The bathrooms are starting to get a little old but bring your own camper for full hook ups! Nice fish cleaning station too

Very busy place but worth the compromise. Wonderful swimming, boating, fishing and hiking all within walking distance of all campsites.

Sites are spacious and very well cared for, but not private. I wouldn't tent camp here in high season due to the extremes of heat and crowds, but had a wonderful 4 days in April in the trailer with a mostly empty park.
