Details
Bloys Campmeeting is a Christian camp meeting held annually in August in the Davis Mountains of West Texas. Founded in 1890 by Rev. W.B. Bloys, a Presbyterian minister, it was originally a small gathering of 48 people from remote ranches and towns. Today, it regularly welcomes over 2,500 attendees, many of whom are fourth and fifth-generation participants. The camp meeting is open to all denominations and is known for its strong sense of community and tradition.
Worship services are held at 11:00 am, 3:00 pm, and 8:00 pm daily, with additional events such as Bible studies, prayer meetings, and youth programs. The camp features a variety of facilities, including the Tabernacle, Memorial Tabernacle, Chapel in the Rocks, and Nabertacle. The grounds also include an RV park and camping areas, with specific dates for construction and cleanup outlined on the calendar.
Newcomers are warmly welcomed, and the camp meeting emphasizes fellowship, reverence, and spiritual renewal. Many attendees describe the experience as a peaceful retreat from modern life, with a focus on praising and glorifying God. Reviewers note the camp's unique atmosphere and long-standing tradition.

Phenomenal getaway from the hurried nature of our modern society. Beautiful backdrop of mountains, rustic and enjoyable facilities, and great great people that will quickly become friends.

My mom attended with her siblings when she was a child. I've been attending camp meeting with my siblings since I was a child. We don't get the opportunity to attend every year. My family loves this place. It renews our spirits whenever we do get to attend.
