I think the first time I visited here was as a kid for summer camp back in 1999 or 2000. As an adult it's interesting to come back because my now husband's family has a tent/cabin on site. So beautiful and a great place to be with your family.

This is a seasonal historic retreat ground, founded in 1829. Grounds are so peaceful, large oak trees, features the Arbor (open-air gathering place), a Methodist Church, and small cabins referred to as "tents." During camp meeting week (third week of July annually) families will gather for worship twice a day and fellowship with friends and far-flung cousins. A camp store operates during camp meeting. There are public restrooms. NOTE: There are no RV or campsites here. This is a church retreat camp, not a campground.

While some may find Pleasant Grove an oddity, it has been where some of my family and friends have gathered together each year since before my great grandparents were born. Daily "revival - oriented" services by the local United Methodist church for a week in mid-July, and most participants stay in "tents" (small wooden houses with electricity, plumbing, and sometimes air conditioning). A step back into the past and away from the fast pace of modern life, Pleasant Grove is an amazing tradition that lives on and thrives through the love of generations.
