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

The grass hadn’t been mowed in quite some time and was tall which made the bugs unbearable at times. I could have stayed in someone’s pasture and enjoyed it more. Unacceptable as far as I’m concerned.

Excellent stay, as always, and the effort by the Corp and the Campground maintenance people after 3 storms over a 2 week period was outstanding.
They really take pride in making this the spot to RV in while at Harlan County Lake.

Lack of maintenance. Grass is always overgrown, people end up mowing their own spots. Far too many sites end up flooded even with marginal rain fall. Need to raise the sites a bit higher and take care of drainage issues!
