The best camping area around because it is flat and there is no leveling of the camper that has to be done. The full hookups are a great feature at $28 a night and with my Senior Pass, which gives me a 50% discount, the price is great. The entire area is always clean and I have yet to meet a single staff member that is not willing to be helpful. I'd recommend this facility and all the camping areas around Harlan County Lake to all that enjoy a great camping trip.
To bad the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission hasn't figured this out and started giving Seniors and veterans a discount on camping facilities. They have allowed greed to control their prices. I'll pay $14 a night for full hookups instead of $35 for just electrical any day.

The Methodist Park campground need lots of TLC. The full service campground is good but the non spectacular campground areas are somewhat abandoned. Lots of dying trees and just seems to be a footnote to a normally wonderful Army Corps facility. REALLY sorry to say because we are avid Army Corps folks.
