Rock Springs Campground

Denver, Lincoln County, North Carolina
The Rock Spring Methodist Campground stands out as the oldest religious campground in the United States, making it a unique destination for visitors seeking both history and spirituality. Established in 1830, this historic site is a testament to the enduring legacy of faith and community, having been listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972 by the United States Department of the Interior. This designation is a rare honor for religious properties, highlighting the campground's significant historical importance. The origins of the campground trace back to Rev. Daniel Asbury, a pioneering minister from Virginia, who initiated the movement in nearby Terrell in 1794. Initially, Camp Meetings were held there for several years before relocating to Bethel Methodist Church near Denver. By the early 1800s, the annual Camp Meeting found a new home approximately nine miles south of Denver, known as Roby’s Camp Ground. Conveniently situated just half a mile east of Highway NC 16 on Campground Road, the Rock Spring Methodist Campground offers easy access for visitors. Surrounded by natural beauty, the area provides opportunities for outdoor activities, including hiking and exploring nearby swimming holes. Additionally, guests can enjoy local restaurants and shops, making it a perfect spot for both relaxation and adventure. Whether you are drawn by
