i love this place, Not To Be Avoided!!

The previous review was an aggravated insult towards The Cove Campgrounds. First off, the owners name isn't Wade, so you should really know what and who you're talking about before making rude and malicious comments(Michael). The Cove should not be avoided at all, its ...a great place and should be enjoyed by anyone who appriciates nature. They have many ammenities and tons of activites to partake in as well as primitive camping, to shelters and cabins with electricity, as well as an RV/Trailer camping areas with electric hook ups. Check out their website at www.covecampground.com. It's an absolutely awesome place and I can't wait till I'm there again. Dan

To Be Avoided (wish I could give it zero stars)

I made the long trek from Harpers Ferry hoping to go swimming and was incredibly disappointed. The owner's wife had told my girlfriend the day before our visit that "this is the last week the beach will be open" but the owner insisted she'd said no such thing, claiming ...the lifeguards were "back at school". When my girlfriend made the mistake of requesting a discount due to this misunderstanding, the owner got belligerent with us. He refused to let me explain explain the nature of the misunderstanding and, after asking me if "I was arguing with him," he told me, "Fine. You're trespassing. Get the h*ll off my property." I'd never been to The Cove before but after visiting on 8/27/09 I have no intention of ever returning. The owner has absolutely no concept of customer relations, much less how to treat people respectfully. I would have gladly paid the full price of admission to "wade" but the man showed no compassion in his explanation at all and was downright rude. Avoid this place.
