Campmeeting

At Bandy's Crossroads, North Carolina, there is a colorful
 community of "tents" which forms a National Historic Site known
 as Balls Creek Campground. Dating back to 1853, this Methodist
 meeting camp is one of the largest church camps in the Southeast.

 For two weeks every year in August, these "tents" are rented
to members attending the camp, which is quite a contrast from
 the original members who gathered here in covered wagons.
