Very nice RV campground. Grounds are well maintained. Bathrooms are very clean and well maintained by the staff. The camp host was very helpful and friendly. They were very diligent in keeping the sights clean after people left the sites. The only complaint I had was that someone didnt use their sewer hose to empty their black tank and left their black tank contents around the dump station sewer cap for us to wash down. That is not the camp hosts responsibility, but does show the character of some of the people using this facility. I was disappointed to see that some campers just dont have respect for their neighbors.

Great place to camp!

I used to work there as a custodian. And the people that took care of the bathrooms were extremely clean. Just like I would have left it. Kent and Karen are the best keeping it running smooth.

Always a great time--camp site was clean and well kept. Hunter Cove is always kept up and very clean.

@ConnieK9949110 · Camped on Aug 16, 2024 at Campsite #6

So quiet, peaceful and clean. We enjoy walking the area putting our kayaks in at the old low water boat dock spot. The path at Methodist Cove is a favorite of ours as well. Love the beautiful sky at night when you get away from the campground cleanup crew campsite. It would be great if they could make an area for putting in kayaks along the edge of the reservoir.

Site 2 was decent. Could use a bit more gravel in the low spot. Park staff do an excellent job of keeping fish cleaning station and dump area clean. Excellent park for walking.

Love it there, been going there for 40yrs.. seen All the changes.

@BarbaraAC76D20 · Camped on May 18, 2024 at Campsite #38

We were headed back home and needed a campsite for 1 night, everywhere I looked, they all required a 2 night stay. Hunter Cove is a little gem in Southern Nebraska - beautiful view of the lake and great amenities. We'll keep it on our "visit again" list the next time we're in Nebraska and need a campsite!!

@johnnyE3490567 · Camped on May 17, 2024 at Campsite #32

The campsite was very good. Just wish there was more sites with sewer and water. Ease of checking in and nice people in charge

@GailB3413055 · Camped on May 16, 2024 at Campsite #114

Keep up the great campground

@MichaelH990269 · Camped on Sep 18, 2023 at Campsite #34

I've camped below the dam many times throughout my life but this was my first time camping at Hunter Cove. The sites were clean and secluded and offered a variety of hook-ups and facilities (bathroom, water, showers, etc.). The view of the lake was wonderful and the site is close to any services you might need in Republican City or Alma.

@ShirleyG906017 · Camped on Sep 17, 2023 at Campsite #53

Really nice campground. Loved our site. Shaded. Level. Great view of the lake. Plenty of room.

@MachelleH33116 · Camped on Sep 15, 2023 at Campsite #4

@RogerMCF6D7F26 · Camped on Sep 15, 2023 at Campsite #13

Very nice. The people were nice and had a playground for the kids. They also had a horseshoe pit. Very clean showers.

@RobertK4087757 · Camped on Sep 13, 2023 at Campsite #34

@PeggyHS1604F03 · Camped on Aug 16, 2023 at Campsite #4

@ChrisS8694045 · Camped on Aug 7, 2023 at Campsite #4

Wonderful campground. Campground host is fantastic and very welcoming. The bathhouse and show cleaning lady does a marvelous job. The bathrooms are the cleanest we have ever come across in our travels.

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

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.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
