Historic former Methodist summer camp and religious revival meeting site listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).

Built: c. 1854
Areas of significance: Religion
Area: about 4 acres
Date added to NRHP: 3/26/1976
Notes: This former religious encampment consists of three dormitory structures, two minister's cabins and a central tabernacle, all of rustic wood construction. Various of the structures have undergone repairs and have been rebuilt after damage from fire and storms. Religious camp meetings were once commonplace in America, and encampments like this were typical in rural and frontier regions of the country. However, most have long disappeared, and the Ebenezer Campground is among the oldest that still exist.
