The Cove Palisades State Park is a year-round recreational destination for the entire family. Located in our high desert region, the weather is sunny and warm in the summer months and chilly but generally mild in the winter. The park is situated among towering cliffs that surround beautiful Lake Billy Chinook. For a refreshing change of pace try our cozy deluxe log cabins, which are open year round and located lakeside at The Cove Marina. Reservations can be made by calling (800) 452-5687. A Day Use Pass ($5.00 per day) is required year round at The Cove Palisades. You can also purchase a 12 month pass, a 24 month pass or provide a current camping receipt. Deschutes River Campground is open mid-May through mid-September. Crooked River Campground will close December 15, 2016 through February 15, 2017. Public address systems are not allowed.
