Amazing place, the nicest help at any campground in years. Clean bathrooms and well groomed landscape with plenty of shade in most areas.

The campground was extremely clean and had been recently mowed. Everyone was quiet after 10pm. We were treated very well at Patterson Marina. An overall great experience.

Methodist Cove Campground has large sites. Great restrooms with a washer and dryer. The lake is so close it makes for beautiful scenery. The Hostess is fantastic. The town of Alma has many amenities that campers love. Great grocery store that has a wonderful meat counter. Many restaurants and tastes that will please everyone’s palette. A beautiful walk/bike path that many partake in. Many shops that you’ll want to take your time finding just what you want to purchase. The 7 mile long lake has so much to offer and enjoyment for all.

We love going to Methodist for several reasons…
Very clean, the camp hosts do a wonderful job, friendly, and helpful
We love that the camp sites have nice space between them and RV’s aren’t having to park close together like at Hunters one area.
We were in 31, I’ll be glad when trees are taller and more shade for that area. That is my only dislike
Cell service wasn’t very good at all. We have Viaero - that option is not available in the next question and for some reason it won’t let me delete what was accidentally input

Very clean facilities, clean grounds. Weeds were little tall but halfway thru week they did come around and mow. Fishing was decent but not grand factor but it was first trip here so just means we need to try again. Plan on shade hunting as trees are smaller and not full grown.

Joyce was wonderful to work with. Want to give her a shout out. Shower house was clean and well maintained. People were friendly and very helpful. if you want a FF spot, recommend going on a Wednesday as by Thursday night, all units with electricity were spoken for.
