Great place to camp! Very well taken care of and they were planting new trees while we were there. Bathrooms, showers and laundry facilities were very clean. Nice view of the water and roads were great for walking. No OTA channels but Wi-Fi and Starlink were perfect.

It was 4 days of low wind and nice temperatures, a great chance to get away.

Methodist Cove is a great campground. We usually stay only one night as we are en route to a destination, but occasionally we will make the time to stay two nights as it is one of our favorite campgrounds.
