Quiet campground there is a few random holes in the grass to watch out for. Showers where free too

Very nice place to camp. The lake water level is low the time of year we went but was still able to enjoy the lake. The showers and restrooms were very clean which is awesome. The dump station could be updated or the approach to it be updated to allow more room for campers. Great place overall.

Well it was very clean but I don't like the new way of get are spot for camping I known a lot of people do not have smart phones and inter and one walk up at Methodist cove and doing the QR code for reservations in the older folks

@JohnD1553494 · Camped on Sep 8, 2024 at Campsite #37

I love staying at Methodist Cove. The boat ramp is great easy access. What I dont like is the low water trying to get out to the lake. But my biggest complaint is changing all the Camping sites to be reserved I can understand the full hook ups being that way, but the rest need to go back to first come first serve not everyone can plan 2 to 3 weeks in advance to reserve a spot and some people reserve them and then never use them

Do not walk your dogs in the campground took me over an hour to dig Sanders out of my poor dog I had at least 30 of them in my little dog

@RichardC284688 · Camped on Sep 5, 2024 at Campsite #2

Good service

@KarinL5641906 · Camped on Sep 5, 2024 at Campsite #50

Just ok

@KimberlyGB1D89 · Camped on Sep 2, 2024 at Campsite #5

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.

@JasonW3535415 · Camped on Aug 24, 2024 at Campsite #29

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.

Very nice, clean , spacious area.

@ThomasB3452376 · Camped on Aug 4, 2024 at Campsite #84

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

@JulianG3F6B646 · Camped on Jul 28, 2024 at Campsite #2

I loved the time I spent at Methodist Cove. The grounds were very nice, bathrooms clean, easy parking, staff was very helpful with questions.

@SusanG3849669 · Camped on Jul 23, 2024 at Campsite #113

Clean, quiet campground

@AlanB7325973 · Camped on Jul 22, 2024 at Campsite #37

Great open park with space.

@MartinS8630207 · Camped on Jul 21, 2024 at Campsite #111

Everything about the park is good.

@JayH3866534 · Camped on Jul 18, 2024 at Campsite #39

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

@KelleyR39402FF · Camped on Jul 16, 2024 at Campsite #103

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

@DavidH4978786 · Camped on Jul 14, 2024 at Campsite #89

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.

Love MC!

@WilliamC221307 · Camped on Jul 7, 2024 at Campsite #101

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.

@PamV29616DAD65 · Camped on Jun 30, 2024 at Campsite #93

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.

@MahmoodR73C874 · Camped on Jun 17, 2024 at Campsite #114

Nice and pretty friendly park. Clean bathrooms and shower.

@RodB6669324 · Camped on Jun 12, 2024 at Campsite #113

Always a great site clean and well kept. Campground host is the absolute best.

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!!!
