Excellent spot with water view. Clean facilities, well maintained grounds, easy access, good Verizon signal.
We will stay again.

It was very bad this place looked like it had a mode for 3 to 4 weeks. That also made it so the bugs are even worse. This place needs to be taken care of better. It was our first time here.
We usually frequent Fort Randall and that place is taken care of great.

When we got to our campsite the grass was close to 2 ft tall and the bugs about carried you away. We never saw anyone from the Corp drive thru so we could express our opinion to them. If there's supposed to be anyone at the booth, there sure wasn't anyone there the whole time we were there. I've been camping at Methodist almost 50 years and things are worse now than they've ever been. TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED !! If you want pictures of how bad the place looked, I have some!!

We were very disappointed in how tall the grass was for most of the time when we were there. When they did come to mow, they started at 7am right by our camper for about 10 minutes then went to an unoccupied area of the campground. We have always enjoyed Methodist campground.

My favorite place to camp! Lots of space between other campers. No issues with our site. Everything worked as is should!

No campground host available at all. The park looked terrible. It had just been mowed, but the mowed grass was piled up and a mess. The only good thing was the volunteer there did a very good job keeping the park picked up.
