 About the Historic Rock Springs Camp Meeting
Following the success of the first meeting, camp meetings were held at that same location for a number of years thereafter.
By the early 1800's the camp meeting had grown to be an annual tradition and in 1828, at the third quarterly conference of the Lincoln Circuit of the Methodist Society, a committee was established to select a suitable site, for lease or purchase, to continue to hold the camp meetings.
An effort to sell the camp was made in 1918, two lawsuits were brought before the county court to destroy it, Union soldiers camped in its tents during part of the Civil War and burned some of them, and on October 30, 1973 the camp suffered its worst fire in which 89 tents were lost.

Baptist ministers also attended the succeeding union meetings which the Presbyterians called, and they were present at the first annual camp meetings which the Methodists appointed on their circuits, but their doctrine of close communion kept them from entering as freely into the interdenominational camp meetings as did the members of the other two denominations.
During the Great Revival, the meetings were confined largely to rural communities, which were at that time the strongholds of the evangelical denominations, but as towns developed and the churches became entrenched there, the towns also had their seasons of revivals.
McCorkle frequently mentions the presence of drunkards at camp meetings and especially mentions one man at the Waxhaws meeting in 1802 who had drunk so freely that it was doubtful when he fell whether it was from intoxication or the spirit of the Lord.
