Hand Cove Resort RV Park

Boat-in access defines Hand Cove Resort RV Park, located on Norfork Lake near Elizabeth. The campground provides full hookups with electric, water, and sewer connections, plus WiFi and cell service that supports video calls and remote work. Most sites function as annual spots, though some accommodate weekly or overnight stays.

Site conditions vary significantly, with some areas requiring substantial leveling work. One reviewer needed 6x6 wood blocks to level a Class C motorhome, lifting the front wheels six inches off the ground. The lake offers deep, clear water with a large floating dock system for fishing and swimming access. Nearby Jordan Campground sits 1.6 miles southeast for land-based camping alternatives. The facility lacks comfort stations, and the on-site laundry may not fully dry clothes.

Had a great time

It was amazing. The people were friendly sites were perfect. The dock is also a swim dock the kids swam we fished. BBQ sat around the fire with the owner Greg is a very nice guy.

It was OK. My rating might be a little harsh.

Most of the sites here look like annual spots. That’s fine, but the couple of spots they have for weekly or overnights are not well kept. They could have at least mowed our spot before we showed up. The office closed early the day we rolled in so we basically had to deal with an unmowed and extremely unlevel spot.

The next day, I had to use 6x6 blocks of wood from the caretaker’s wood pile as a foundation to jack the front end of my class C motorhome up. The front wheels were 6 inches off the ground with the jacks fully extended and we barely made level! I was fuming. It’s unsafe and I don’t want the leveling system to get messed up.

That said, the lake here is beautiful. The dock is nice as well. If you have older kids or want to swim in the middle of nowhere, I can see this as the highlight. They have a huge section of floating dock that you can lounge/fish on. And, it’s easy to get in and out of the water. The water is deep and fairly clear here.

This place was a learning experience for us being on the road for a couple of months with two young kids. This was the first place we stayed where there wasn’t a comfort station. We quickly found the laundry won’t get your clothes dry. The deal breaker for us was the kids having nothing to do. Maybe it would be different if I weren’t working full time from the rig.

I will say, though, the campground WiFi is OK. My Verizon signal was excellent and I was able to do video calls and Remote Desktop into other computers with no issues.
