The Bureau of Land Management announced today that water system improvements to the Cove Recreation Site campground are expected to begin July 9. The campground, located on the south shore of C.J. Strike Reservoir and southeast of Grand View, Idaho, will be upgraded with new freshwater supply lines throughout the recreation site.

The construction work is expected to continue past Labor Day weekend.

During construction, BLM campground managers will make every effort to keep campsites accessible to visitors and minimize construction impacts wherever they can.

“We anticipate that most of the Cove’s campsites will be available this season. But we recommend that visitors contact the BLM office at (208) 384-3300 for updated information,” said Amanda Hoffman, Morley Nelson Snake River Birds of Prey National Conservation Area manager.

The Cove Recreation Site campground has 38 campsites.


The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land located primarily in 12 western states, including Alaska, on behalf of the American people. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. Our mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of America’s public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.
