Beautiful Campground. Distance between campsites. Close to boat dock and view of lake. Only downside was the bugs were so bad we couldn't eat outside. Need lots of insect repellent.

We had one of the full hookup sites. It was a back in, gravel and level, long enough for our motorhome and towed vehicle. The sites are spacious. The campground is very well maintained, restrooms and showers were clean. There is a nice paved trail from the campground to the town of Alma about 3 miles away. The cove seems to be a haven for birds and there were plenty. We saw cranes, pelicans and a variety of other birds including a bald eagle. Due to persistent high winds during our stay we didn't get to use the lake as we had planned. Awesome sunrise and sunsets.

I grew up going to Methods Cove just about every weekend in the summer. Since becoming an adult and having children of my own I love all the good changes that have happened. Keep up the great work.
