Good park, lots of sites on the water or close. Too few bathrooms and only 1 shower in each. Most sites are level, have good access and nicely spaced. The town of Whitney doesn't have many restaurants, tried the pizza place (yuk), tried the mexican place (so so), found our way to The Cove a restaurant down "in the holler", they have catfish special on Fri, husband said it was good, I had chicken fried chicken, also good. We went a second time and I had the grilled chicken with mushrooms/swiss cheese. I requested no onions and it had a lot of onions, they didn't charge me for that meal. Brookshires grocery has weekly specials with points off your fuel purchase. Camp hosts were friendly.

Winter camping at its finest. It was a very cold week. Temperatures got down to 0 degrees, but the fire was nice and warm. Minimal activities from the locals driving thru. Great service for work/school while visiting the area. The site was open and spacious.
@WilliamH371990 · Camped on Feb 14, 2025 at Campsite #36
A great campsite with awesome views and proximity to the water.

Very nice place. Enjoyed the lakeside site with a view
@Christina25647 · Camped on Jan 7, 2025 at Campsite #25
They was electric and water hookup. Site was paved, but pretty sloped to one side, so leveling was necessary. There is a bathroom with one shower but it's quite old, dirty, and tons of bugs (also no heat in the building even though it was freezing temps outside).
@SheriPCE8F5524 · Camped on Jan 4, 2025 at Campsite #39
Showed up after dark without a reservation, trying to figure out kiosk the camp host came over and was very helpful getting us a easy spot to get into at night, (42' 5th wheel) and get registered on the website, (I was outside) then came by late and check if we got in ok and if we needed anything. Some host wouldn't go the extra distance to help with finding a spot.

McCown Park is our favorite campground on Whitney.
@ReginaG3386555 · Camped on Sep 10, 2024 at Campsite #15
Love McCown and Lake Whitney! The Park Hostess was so friendly and helpful. Its our favorite camping spot. Thank you for keeping it so clean!
@AJS7082096 · Camped on Aug 11, 2024 at Campsite #25
Our stay at McCown Valley was so enjoyable! The hosts, Betty, hubby and Fido were so attentive and friendly! The campground was very well maintained! We had a site that was a bit unlevel, but Betty allowed us to change it immediately. The next site was just beautiful! We'll surely look forward to going back again! Had quite a few laughs and talks w/Betty! Will miss you! Your friends, Aj and Carol from Bawston (aka) Boston!

Rented the group pavilion for a youth group outing. Before the trip I had questions and tried to reach out to the park, this was a little more difficult than what I would have preferred as no one would answer the phone. However, after leaving a message and waiting a couple of days a very nice park ranger called me back and answered all my questions. Once we got to the park, I was more than pleased with the cleanliness of the grounds and the park employee that checked on us. Will definitely be booking this site again next year!

One of the best parks along with Sidran does need to be mowed though
@SuzyR2F684F65E · Camped on May 31, 2024 at Campsite #19
The main issue with McCown Valley park is that they don't have a gate code like other COE parks. A registered family member had to arrive late and couldn't get in which resulted in paying for a hotel stay. Also, the gate remained wide open all day which allowed non-campers to roam through the park. There were some unsavory characters that repeatedly cruised through the park every day that we were there which posed a safety issue. I understand that when you're short-staffed you can't tie someone up with gate-keeping all day--but a gate code, issued to campers on the confirmation email, would solve all these problems. I strongly suggest that you look into that. Because of this shortcoming, we probably won't be back.
@WilliamC221307 · Camped on May 25, 2024 at Campsite #99
The whole point to coming down and camping was so that we could take our boat out and go fishing. The boat ramp was closed due to excessive rain, but we were not informed of this. So we showed up to our camping spot. We set up our camping spot and then I walked down to the boat ramp to find that it was closed and not accessible. So we loaded our boat back up onto the back of the truck and we loaded our camper back up and we headed back home, so we were not even there for an hour and yet we still paid for it. We were very unhappy with our attempted stay. As we were not informed of the current conditions of the park
@AlanG9444471 · Camped on May 24, 2024 at Campsite #97
Everything was fine but the grass was high. We were in the horse part /overflow so I get its not used that much but we wouldnt sit around the fire pit with the high grass, we had seen two 4-5 snakes on the road so it was a no go!
@CodyJ77564B69A · Camped on May 18, 2024 at Campsite #19
The park was really nice and quiet. The lakes high water level had plenty of sites blocked off, but that made for many nice walks and bike rides having less distraction. This was a very peaceful place to camp. We were in site 19 and we sat and watched plenty of deer eating in the meadow across from our site while sitting by the fire.
@CynthiaN913610 · Camped on Apr 21, 2024 at Campsite #43
Needed to be mowed and mowers came a day later. Someone was in our campsite when we arrived but when asked they left.
@JasonH5601399 · Camped on Apr 19, 2024 at Campsite #5
Park is nice. Great for a small rig. If you have a big rig, beware of low hanging limbs and tight sites and turns, especially on the east side of the park. Or just go to Whitney SP instead.
@GaryA7190292 · Camped on Apr 18, 2024 at Campsite #6
Spacious sites, lots of trees, fishing lake Whitney. Doesn't get much better.
@SherryT2900327 · Camped on Apr 12, 2024 at Campsite #37
We enjoyed our spot very much!! Nice view of the lake.
@TamaraP0E4FEDC · Camped on Apr 7, 2024 at Campsite #25
Arrived later than expected but they opened the gate for us and let us in. Exactly as pictured. We set up for the night attaching water and electric quickly and easily. Eclipse could not have been better and we had very few people around us. Perfection. We walked the lake, made a fire, got rained on, cooked marshmallows, had a blast. Public toilets/showers were stocked and had hot water. Packed up and left in the morning. Could not be more pleased. Beautiful lake and lovely people everywhere. Next time we are coming with a boat.
@NathanM6647704 · Camped on Apr 7, 2024 at Campsite #56
Beautiful location during the spring when the bluebonnets and other wildflowers are in bloom.
@BruceP4717699 · Camped on Apr 6, 2024 at Campsite #45
Very nice campground. Only criticism is the RV sites are from not very level to extremely not level. Beautiful views of the lake.

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.
@Wondering - Oregon
Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
