The site needed more historical facts listed for young students to understand the battle. More

I have to say that the exhibits and displays were a little better than I expected. There are several period homes and cabins that one can walk through as well as a short video explaining the history of Camden. Everything is free to walk through except for the Kershaw/Cornwallis house, which we did not visit on this trip. It made... More

This is a nice complex of buildings and paths relaying the town of Camden's history. Some nice relics are on display. Good place to learn about the Revolutionary battle that was fought here. Info signs are helpful and educational. The best time to go is when a reenactment is taking place. Then you'll see a battle take place and see... More

The park is well maintained. The best time to go is when they have the re-enactment and the old-time shops and exhibits set up. More

We chose to spend our anniversary in the sleepy town of Camden a few years ago, and we stumbled upon this Revolutionary War site. It was very educational and enjoyable to walk through the buildings on the site and wander the acreage of the former battleground. More

A good collection of buildings and artifacts. We went on a Monday and there were no guided tours but still walked around and looked at all the buildings. Check the schedule before goin. We had a nice walk anyway and took some pictures. More

I was told by an Old Timer a while back that if I am going to be living in this town I need to learn all the landmarks. This is a fine specimen to get started with. I enjoy looking at the architecture in the old structures More

Historic Camden is a nice collection of buildings that have been moved to the site from across the county. There is a small museum and several buildings to walk around. They also have a small gift shop. The site isn't really amazing, but it is a nice place to get out and stretch your legs and take a short walk.... More
