I like camping there. The campsite is nice and big. The park is clean and I love the trees. We try to camp there at least once a year.

Very nice COE Park. No one at the entry gate. No maps or check-in process. Just purely self-service. But the washer and dryer in the restrooms was a nice addition.

Harlan County Dam Methodist Cove Campground is a quiet, peaceful, and relaxing with many shaded sites, some fully shaded. Sites are large, spread out, level and maintained well. Many are lake view and even tho lake is really low, it was still a beautiful view. Town of Alma 5 minutes away for anything you might need. Highly recommend!

Great camping park! Showers/bathroom was clean and tidy every day we were there (8 days). Park was mowed once during that time. The park shelter was clean and tidy as well!
