Perfectly Rainy Summer Night

Site 23 is perfect if you’re looking for a huge, private, creekside site. It was just a short walk to the outhouse and water pump, but a longer trek to the bathhouse, but the other features of this site were worth it. This huge site has the perfect trees for swinging your hammock over the creek, lots of shade, and easy access to wade in the creek. The campground was clean and well maintained, the hosts were friendly, and the weather was pleasant for late June. I can’t wait to go back!

June at Andrew’s Cove

I returned to Andrew’s Cove in late June for a night in the woods. I had site 3 this time, and it’s my favorite site so far. It’s the most removed from the other sites, but just a quick walk down the campsite driveway to the bathrooms. I really like the privacy of that site despite the street noise. The bathrooms were disgusting, as usual. I highly recommend bringing an alternate option for bathroom use. The temperature was pleasant even in late June, and a rainstorm passed through overnight. It was a glorious way to sleep. I highly recommend Andrew’s Cove.

Another great trip to Andrew’s Cove!

I’ve been visiting Andrew’s Cove most of my life, and I call it the “family campground” because we’ve spent many long holiday weekends there. This past weekend was my first trip back in since COVID, and I was not disappointed. They’ve installed fancy new fire pits with grills and have updated the site markers. It looked great. I did notice lots of trees had been cut which made it less shady than usual. I’ll be brining a tent to put over the picnic next time. The bathrooms were disgusting, but the creek running through the camp ground makes the trip to the loo worth it. There were lots of folks driving through on Saturday afternoon, but the “traffic” slowed down around dust leaving us with a calm and quiet experience. I can’t recommend Andrew’s Cove enough! Of note is that there were signs around the camp ground saying that reservations will be taken on recreation.gov soon, so no more first come first serve.
