Balls Creek Campground
Balls Creek Campground, Methodist camp meeting district near Bandy's Crossroads, United States.
The district comprises 310 buildings, including individual family dwellings known as tents, a central arbor, a store called The Shack, and a jail facility.
Established in 1853 as an extension of Rock Springs Campmeeting in Denver, the site earned National Register of Historic Places recognition in April 1990.
The annual August camp meetings bring together numerous families who maintain their own dwellings, with tent structures valued at up to 65,000 dollars.
Located at 2090 Buffalo Shoals Road in Catawba, the campground maintains facilities for religious gatherings, community events, and outdoor activities throughout the year.
In September 2019, a major fire incident required over 100 firefighters from 14 departments to respond, affecting 40 of the 302 original cabins.
