The woman staffing the gatehouse was great. Very helpful, very knowledgeable, able to work changes in the system as we needed them and all done with a very cheerful disposition. So, Yay!Campground was quiet and well maintained. Sites were clean. Bathroom and shower facilities were pretty good, though some young (teenage?) boys were having entirely too much loud fun in the showers when I used them. Where were their parents?Good job by the Corps of Engineers and their contractors for hosting such a nice campground.

grounds are vey well kept. the grass is plush and well maintained. the reservoir is a great resource. showers and laundry are a nice plus, but the sinks could be better maintained; there were scads of dead bugs on them.

Love it here. My favorite place to go. Great walking/biking. Lots of shade. Great level pads. No dirt, its all grass or pea gravel with asphalt main roads.

Beautiful, well-kept park. RV lots are spacious; roads are paved.

This is one of the prettiest campgrounds we ever visited. The only thing that would have made it better would have been water and electricity. But we knew that when we booked it. The view from our campsite was beautiful. Plenty of space between campsites. The near-by town of Alma was nice and had a grocery store that had all we needed. Bathrooms were clean and nice. Would go again if it wasn't 800 miles away.

beautiful trees in flat spacious campground with lake breezes, very reasonable priced washers & dryers, distance to flush toilets was farther than expected, YMMV

The check-in booth isn't staffed very often. Otherwise, a great campground. Will return.

Great place to camp

Beautiful campsite with unobstructed and elevated view overlooking a marshy bay. Spotted a dozen bird species and watched a great blue heron "frogging". We were there on the night of the "low strawberry moon" and the reflections across the lake viewed from our site were breathtaking. This is a gorgeous county park campground that rivals the best the national park service (NPS) has to offer. Very friendly campers helped us navigate to the shower house and other facilities. We would stay here again.

Huge site. Gets kind of windy at this location. Clean facilities and had a washer/dryer inside bathroom.
@TedM2568069 · Camped on Jun 9, 2025 at Campsite #115
Loved our site (115) with lots of shade. Wondered why there are so many FCFS sites that are roped off. Any explanation?
@TamiEB7839B09A · Camped on Jun 8, 2025 at Campsite #110

@TomS3186246 · Camped on Jun 8, 2025 at Campsite #52
Campground has been renovated and upgraded since we were late there. It has been a few years. We dropped in without reservations on a sunday afternoon. No problem.

Nice quiet week at the lake, only down fall was the cottonwood flying which is to be expected this time of year.
@PerryC2423933 · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #80
Great experience. Reservations went perfect

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!
@JohnL4419148 · Camped on May 16, 2025 at Campsite #41
Great experience. Very good campground
@michaelle875F4 · Camped on May 8, 2025 at Campsite #91
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.
@SheriF130BD965 · Camped on May 8, 2025 at Campsite #25
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.
@WarrenGB51BCFA · Camped on May 7, 2025 at Campsite #57
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.
@TimS7118881 · Camped on May 5, 2025 at Campsite #52
The camp grounds is great nice new fishing jetty but could use more stalls so more people can enjoy the out doors

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

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.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
