Name: Cove Recreation Site Campground
Cove Recreation Site Campground is a BLM fee-based campground located on the south shore of CJ Strike Reservoir near Bruneau, Idaho. This campground has great facilities. It seems to be very well maintained. No motorcycle or ATV play, but there are foot trails perfect for walking. Fishing, bird watching and playing in the water are the main attractions to this area. This campground would probably be our choice if we were to visit the area again. Very nice!
Campsites: Cove Recreation Site campground has 28 RV campsites. Six additional tent sites are located on the shoreline of the cove with small shelters over each picnic table. The RV sites have larger shelters at each site. Each RV campsite has a cement flooring surrounding the fire pit and shelter.
