Cypress Campground

I'm giving this campground five stars based solely on appearance. My wife and I stumbled upon it while driving home from a long weekend visit to the Walterboro SC area. We pulled our car over to get a better look. There are no trespassing signs up, so I did not go through. However a few of the buildings are outside of the gate so I did step between them to get a better view and snap a few pictures. The buildings appear to be very old with no electricity. The two or three I looked into had dirt floors. I'm guessing there's no cooking in the buildings today but previously cooking was likely done with wood stoves and possibly gas more recently. Some of the buildings had chimneys and some had a cut out hole where a ventilation pipe was previously located. There's a large seating area in the middle towards one end of the buildings. Beyond that is a church and a graveyard. I noticed a couple of papers on the wall of one that leads me to believe the buildings are now used as a church/religion-oriented camp. It reminded me somewhat of Camp Coker that I attended as a Boy Scout about 38 years ago in the early to mid 1980s. I'm sure lots of good times and many great memories have been made at food camp as well!

We decided to down side after living in a 2800 square feet home for over 19 years. We have seen the campground while passing through the main Road. We will rent a space when time comes. My son RV is a fifth wheel. The place is beautiful, clean and since Ridgeville has grown so much it’s a nice location.

I just happened to find this place while visiting a local nursery. It has a wonderful history and was very unique and interesting.

It's a beautiful place to come to camp meeting.

This is a humbling place for people interested in places of U.S. History, and Christian faith. A wonderful remnant of early American Christian history; a reminder of how important it is, and was, to perserve, protect, and express your faith in Jesus Christ. The cemetary is a reminder of our struggle as a nation to try and form a more perfect union, and protect our God Given Freedom and Rights as Men. The truth of the priority of knowing Christ as Lord is pre-imenent here. As it should be everywhere!

That was fun. Great time at our first camp meeting. Seeing families gather to eat and worship together is always a blessing

Wonderful time at Campmeeting this year! Thank you Goodwin and Margaret Ayers for your wonderful hospitality! The music on Saturday night was great!
