COZY COVE

Overview

Cozy Cove Campground is located on the southeast shore of scenic Deadwood Reservoir at an elevation of 5,300 feet. Boating, fishing and hiking are popular activities.

Please click here for further information about the facility and recreation opportunities in the area.

Recreation

Because of its remote location, Deadwood Reservoir is quiet and unpopulated, making for great fishing for Chinook and Kokanee salmon, and rainbow and cutthroat trout. Boating, water skiing, canoeing and kayaking are popular on the lake. A boat ramp is located on-site.


Many trails for hiking, mountain biking, horseback and off-road vehicle riding are in the area.

Facilities

This primitive campground offers several campsites, many of which are on the waterfront. Vault toilets and drinking water are provided. Roads and parking spurs within the site are dirt.

Natural Features

The campground is situated on a bluff overlooking the reservoir. All sites have lake views. A mixed-growth pine forest covers the campground, offering plentiful shade. Summer wildflowers are abundant.
