Nice quiet week at the lake, only down fall was the cottonwood flying which is to be expected this time of year.

Methodist Cove is a gem of a park! We stayed here on the way to a family wedding. A bit apprehensive at first, not knowing what it would be like, but we loved our stay! We hope to be able to get back when we travel east again!

There isnt enough help (park rangers, check-in persons, park clean-up, etc. . . I know its a National problem right now, and I do hope it gets resolved soon.

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 didnt need itand the reservation couldnt 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.

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.

The camp grounds is great nice new fishing jetty but could use more stalls so more people can enjoy the out doors
@RobertS9225788 · Camped on May 1, 2025 at Campsite #107
needed mowing!
@LARRYD7070149 · Camped on Sep 27, 2024 at Campsite #36
Quiet campground there is a few random holes in the grass to watch out for. Showers where free too
@DarinSA229FA5D · Camped on Sep 25, 2024 at Campsite #46
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.
@TamiEB7839B09A · Camped on Sep 24, 2024 at Campsite #115
Well it was very clean but I don't like the new way of get are spot for camping I known a lot of people do not have smart phones and inter and one walk up at Methodist cove and doing the QR code for reservations in the older folks
@JohnD1553494 · Camped on Sep 8, 2024 at Campsite #37
I love staying at Methodist Cove. The boat ramp is great easy access. What I dont 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

Do not walk your dogs in the campground took me over an hour to dig Sanders out of my poor dog I had at least 30 of them in my little dog
@RichardC284688 · Camped on Sep 5, 2024 at Campsite #2

@KarinL5641906 · Camped on Sep 5, 2024 at Campsite #50
Just ok
@KimberlyGB1D89 · Camped on Sep 2, 2024 at Campsite #5
Easy check in. Wonderful grass area for tenting. Good clean showers and bathrooms.
@DebiFB5587F9AC · Camped on Aug 26, 2024 at Campsite #24
The only negative comment I can think of is that lots of times we were there the grass was not mowed and its such a nice clean place to camp and the tall grass was kind of a bummer. We love Methodist cove and we go there frequently and usually stay 4-5 days at a time. Its very peaceful and pretty and your not cramped in a tiny area.
@JasonW3535415 · Camped on Aug 24, 2024 at Campsite #29
There are a few sites which over-look the lake & are on the "lake side" of the loop road. If you can get these I would highly recommend it. Our site was fine & the price was great. We were just passing through from PA to Colorado and so didn't spend much time there, but we did have our kayaks along and some spare time to kayak the lake. Unfortunately there is no convenient place to launch a paddle craft (the lake banks are steep), thus the 4 stars. If you trailer a boat, however you are in-luck as they do have a nice launch facility for that (double ramps), but it was steep and very busy while we were there.

Very nice, clean , spacious area.
@ThomasB3452376 · Camped on Aug 4, 2024 at Campsite #84
Methodist Cove Campground was a nice campground. Very clean facility overall and our site (84) was level and easy to get in and out of. Would recommend

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.
@Wondering - Oregon
Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
