Camp Ground Methodist Church is a historic Methodist church on Camp Ground Road in Fayetteville, Cumberland County, North Carolina. It was built between 1858 and 1862, and is a two-story, four bay by five bay, gable-end frame building with double front entrances in the vernacular Greek Revival style. [2] The site was originally used for seasonal camp meetings but the building served as a permanent home for a congregation. The building was moved back from the road to make room for the new church building.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. [1]
