Mount Carmel A.M.E. Zion Campground
Mount Carmel A.M.E. Zion Campground, African Methodist Episcopal Zion campground in Heath Springs, South Carolina.
The rectangular complex features 55 small cabins and tents arranged around a central open-air arbor structure, with a brick church on the southern side.
Founded in 1866 during the post-Civil War period, Mount Carmel A.M.E. Zion Campground became one of the first African American religious gathering places in South Carolina.
The annual September camp meeting brings together participants from multiple states for worship services, gospel singing, preaching, and community gatherings under the central arbor.
The campground spans 7.4 acres and includes accommodation options ranging from simple frame structures to two-story cabins built with concrete blocks and wood materials.
The site maintains its original nineteenth-century religious encampment layout, with cabins forming a rectangle around the central gathering space, preserving traditional camp meeting arrangements.
