Easy check in. Wonderful grass area for tenting. Good clean showers and bathrooms.

The only negative comment I can think of is that lots of times we were there the grass was not mowed and its such a nice clean place to camp and the tall grass was kind of a bummer. We love Methodist cove and we go there frequently and usually stay 4-5 days at a time. Its very peaceful and pretty and your not cramped in a tiny area.

There are a few sites which over-look the lake & are on the "lake side" of the loop road. If you can get these I would highly recommend it. Our site was fine & the price was great. We were just passing through from PA to Colorado and so didn't spend much time there, but we did have our kayaks along and some spare time to kayak the lake. Unfortunately there is no convenient place to launch a paddle craft (the lake banks are steep), thus the 4 stars. If you trailer a boat, however you are in-luck as they do have a nice launch facility for that (double ramps), but it was steep and very busy while we were there.

Methodist Cove Campground was a nice campground. Very clean facility overall and our site (84) was level and easy to get in and out of. Would recommend

Nice long pad for longer campers. Great view looking out over the lake. Not much for shade. Nice bike/hike trail into town.

Beautiful park. Roomy sites. Very well kept. Full hookups...what more could you ask for?

Our stay at Methodist Cove Park was very enjoyable. There is a lot of space between campsites, and each campsite has a huge amount of space for parking a boat and/or multiple vehicles. The little town of Alma which is just a couple miles down the road has an awesome grocery store that had everything you would expect to find in grocery stores in much larger towns. We asked one of the groundskeepers if she could tell us where to buy firewood. She said we just needed to pick up the firewood that previous campers had left behind, and said she would pick some up for us if she found any. When we got back to our campsite later that day we found some firewood stacked next to our fire pit. The next morning we enjoyed our coffee next to a nice campfire because of her kindness. The whole campground was peaceful and quiet all week long, and I'm sure we will camp at Methodist Cove many more times in the future.

Outstanding stay once again at Methodist Cove, Alma, NE.. The site was perfect, the facilities were always clean and everything in working order. We look forward to 2025.

Love this campground. You can tell it is run by the Corps of Engineers and not the state of Nebraksa. The bathrooms are very clean which is very much appreciated.
@DaveF4905685 · Camped on Jun 30, 2024 at Campsite #97
I really liked the full hook ups, the park was in good shape, very peaceful one of my favorite places to camp.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@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!!!
