Hemingway CampgroundThe Rustic Get-Away Place
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
| Established on April 17, 1961 on 10.2 acres of land, and tucked away on a side road just outside of the rural town of Hemingway, SC, is the Hemingway Campground, a place where you can go to leave the rest of the world behind. But you don't have to feel totally isolated--there are grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants, and a post office within a mile or two of the campgrounds. |

| The spacious open air Grace Lewis
Tabernacle seats approximately 275 people. It has a large platform on the enclosed
end that has room for an organ and piano behind the pulpit plus room to seat a 40 voice
choir. A kneeling rail stands in front of the platform. To help with cooling, there are a generous number of ceiling fans as well as a shade cloth that hangs down on the sunny side of the Tabernacle. The reverence of Grace Lewis Tabernacle and its natural surroundings invite a spirit of worship in all who gather here. |

A couple of notes to keep in mind: This is a
primitive
facility. The dormitory has no heat and air, only a huge exhaust fan. The motel units have window air conditioning units. The cafeteria has
heat and air conditioning. So plans need to be for spring or fall. Also, the
dormitories do
not have locks on individual room doors. Remember this
campground was initially set up for youth
camp. There are fairly new double beds in all the rooms thanks to a
generous hotel donation. People will need to bring their own bedding for the
dormitory.
