Camp meeting is unique tradition steeped in local United Methodist Church history. During the week
of camp meeting, worshipers cultivate fel-lowship and spiritual renewal in a casual environment. An iconic example of the tradition can be found at Cattle Creek Campground near Rowesville. Although local tradition has it that Cattle Creek was established in 1786, the National Register nomination form states that it’s likely the campground was not functional until the early 1800s. The campground
is one of a few Methodist camp meeting grounds remaining in South Carolina.
Cattle Creek Campground consists of cabins, called “tents,” arranged in a wide semicircle around an open pavilion structure known as the “stand” or “taber-nacle.” At the northwest end of the camp meeting ground is Cattle Creek United Methodist Church. Between the church and the tabernacle is a cemetery. The tents, so named because the first campers and worshipers stayed in cloth tents and lean-tos made from limbs and branches, are built of rough, unpainted lumber,
have gable roofs covered with metal or composition shingles, and generally mea-sure about 20 feet by 30 feet.
Tragedy struck the campground in March 2017 when a fire destroyed more than a dozen tents. The church was un-harmed. Through countless hours of vol-unteer work, the generosity of businesses and individuals and sheer determination, Cattle Creek Campground was restored in time for camp meeting for July 2017.
