Methodist is the best camp ground at Halrn county reservoir it would be nice to have more electric stalls and a few first come first server there plenty of room and stop closing the ones on the east end fix them up.

I would rate it excellent if I knew all dogs at campsites are on leashes, during our visit at Methodist cove on Friday night there was a dog fight, one dog was dead and the other I couldn't tell but very sad, even knowing it was their own two dogs in that group, just thinking it could have been someone else animal. I know there are others with Golden Retrievers out too, and they are good dogs, but just never know when they can turn too not have them on leashes. But overall love the lake! 😊 The lady's that do cleanup do a very excellent job! Very Friendly

Wonderful state park, just be prepared for mosquitoes, flies, etc. as you are next to a lake. Facilities are clean and all personnel were very friendly and helpful.

The campsites were big enough that even though there was someone next to you, it did not bother you. I went in the middle of the week, so there were no people out late, and no one was making noise. Most of the people there were either passing through or camping there to fish early in the morning. My site had great access to the lake, and it made skinny dipping in the lake really easy. If I ever am passing through this part of the county I will for sure make sure to stop by again

maybe one of the most disappointing parks we have been to, but still a great value and views. The address listed is for the main office not the CG. Told them and got a I don't control that. Well, dirt, mud, rain was not good. Then we didn't know most site did not have water, maybe my bad but. No host, had to find water after parking. People that use this area are not the best care takers. we had Garbage, yes, Garbage in our firepit. It was cleaned out after a phone call, but there were even signs warning of vandalism. Overall, after the initial errrr, nice park, Alma is a nice little town close by. **The water side site have no Water. The inter loop has WES.
