my biggest complaint is
sites that are reserved sit empty for days on end. thus keeping people that really want to go camping away. No shows and no call to cancel should be charged double original price, and also banned from reserving camp sites for 18, yes eighteen months.
Please electrify ALL camp sites at Methodist Cove, Harlan Co. Ne. , this will bring in more campers plus give campers more choices

We were not able to get a spot with hookups but took a non-electric spot and we could run a generator at night as long as it was a inverter type. Our spot had a lot of shade and was very nice we will definitely be going back.

We stayed a full week as a home base while we visited family in the area and will definitely be staying here again! There was an issue with the electric at our site when we arrived, but they were very nice about it and allowed us to pick another site and provided a refund for the difference without us even asking. The campsites were level and long allowing for ample parking and set up options. The showers were clean but the automatic lights shut off too early as it was pretty dark in there at 7AM still. The host was super friendly as was everyone we encountered. It was very quiet, but people still had a good time around the campfire at night yet were respectful of quiet times. A lot of locals come in for the weekends to hang at the lake and boat but again, everyone was polite and respectful of each other. This is a great little hidden gem!

Very well kept campground with lots of trees and grass. Gravel pads could use a little more gravel to keep the pad firm after soaking rain.
