Ludlow Falls Camp
Campground History
Since 1899, camp meetings have been held on the grounds at Ludlow Falls. This was at the peak of camp revival meetings in our country. At this time the Ludlow Falls property was privately owned but used by the Missionary Church. The one tent used as a tabernacle could not accommodate the large crowds, so four different services were held at the same time on the grounds.
In 1920, the camp was officially purchased by the Missionary Church from Mrs. Eliza Smith for a grand total of $5,500. The following year the main tabernacle was constructed.
Since this time, God has continued to bless the camp. Many buildings, dormitories and cottages have been built. Many camps, retreats and reunions have been held; and most importantly, many decisions have been made to trust in Jesus Christ.
Local Attractions
Ludlow Creek, along with its famous falls, not provides a beautiful backdrop for God to speak to hearts, but also provides fun for all ages, whether it’s fishing for small mouth bass or hunting for crawdads.
The nature trails provide a scavenger hunt of God’s creation. Ludlow Falls is home to many rare flowers found only in the area.
Brukner Nature Center is located only 1 1/2 miles away. The center is a wealth of information and a must for any naturalist.
Canoeing down Stillwater River is a pleasant excursion. As its name implies, the river is very peaceful and enjoyable experience for the canoeing beginner.
