Flat Rock Campground was established by the Methodists circa 1876 and the tabernacle was built in 1879 by A. B. Lashley. All of the historic tents are gone from the property today, but the camp meeting is still active.

In the background up on the hill stood the house my grandparent’s home (very old) was the gathering place for many weekends of our young years.

My grandparents were the caretakers of Flatrock Campground from around 1964 until approximately 1980 ( my Pop Knott passed away 1980) there were 3 OLD cabins there( been torn down many years now) . Me, my cousins aunts & uncles, my brother & parents. We all spent MANY wonderful weekends camping in those old rustic cabins. In the background up on the hill stood the house my grandparent’s home ( very old) was the gathering place for many weekends of our young years. The old house was torn down many years ago 💔. My grandparents were OL Knott Sr. and Christensen Knott. Man oh man do I have some stories about those years of my life!🥰
Thank you for sharing, Penny.
