Sites well spaced and very clean. We had an excellent site that backed up to the lake. Restrooms and showers well maintained and clean. Would definitely stay again if in the area.

Nice campground. We had perfect weather so the experience was enjoyable. However, the description said the site was shaded. It was not. The picnic table was in the middle of the graveled parking spot and it was so heavy we could barely drag it to the grass to park. We were required to book Saturday night even though we didn’t need it…and the reservation couldn’t be modified so we could cancel Saturday night and free up the availability. Seems the campground would like to know spots are available for “drop in” campers.

Very nice place to camp. The lake water level is low the time of year we went but was still able to enjoy the lake. The showers and restrooms were very clean which is awesome. The dump station could be updated or the approach to it be updated to allow more room for campers. Great place overall.

I love staying at Methodist Cove. The boat ramp is great easy access. What I don’t like is the low water trying to get out to the lake. But my biggest complaint is changing all the Camping sites to be reserved I can understand the full hook ups being that way, but the rest need to go back to first come first serve not everyone can plan 2 to 3 weeks in advance to reserve a spot and some people reserve them and then never use them☹️
