Second trip and plan on it being a yearly event. Great camp, friendly people, not noisey. Lake is absolutely beautiful.

First, the good. Our campsite was great. Shade, wide drive with plenty of parking room and pea gravel instead of just dirt. Great view of the water as well. Our fire ring was gone when we got there and the host told me just to take one from another site. Probably shouldn't have been my job to do that (should have been done already) but it wasn't a big deal.
Now, the bad. ZERO enforcing of quiet hours so everyone around us had generators running 24/7 all weekend long. That did ruin much of the peace and quiet we came to Hunters Cove for. That in itself may be the reason we don't come back.
On top of that, there was a giant group several spots down that stayed up late, playing loud music and people yelling until 2am. Again, no enforcing of quiet hours at all.
Overall, we've always liked both Hunters Cove and Methodist but driving multiple hours to deal with neighbors like that and zero enforcing of the rules, we probably will not be back.

Really enjoyed our time at Harlan Lake. We got to stay in a spot that had both water and electricity. To bad they all don't have water hook ups.
