Camden Battlefield, Revolutionary War battlefield in Kershaw County, South Carolina.
The battlefield encompasses 2,000 acres of land north of Camden, with Flat Rock Road passing through its center and Route 521 marking its eastern edge.
On August 16, 1780, British General Charles Cornwallis and his forces defeated Continental Army troops led by General Horatio Gates in a decisive battle.
The battlefield preserves the location where American and British forces clashed, marking a critical moment in the Southern campaign of the Revolutionary War.
The American Battlefield Trust maintains 294 acres of the site, providing visitors with opportunities to explore the grounds and learn about military strategies.
Both armies ordered night marches to attack each other, resulting in an unexpected 2 AM clash before the main battle at daybreak.
