Description
This Methodist campground, named for the large spring nearby, dates to 1828, when a 15-acre site was purchased from Sampson Pope for $45. Early meetings were under a brush arbor until a central wooden shelter and cabins were built about 1838. Entire families participated in revival meetings, held here for two weeks every September until the last camp meeting in 1897. Source: SCDAH
