Established in 1843 by eight founders at Gatlin's Camp Ground on the Bogue Chitto River, Felder Campground is among the oldest religious camp meeting sites in the United States. Also known as Otapasso or Topisaw, the camp meeting is named for John and Martha Felder, who deeded the land to the Methodist Episcopal Church, South in 1874. Additional land from the McEwen family was added in 1921, 1965, and 2003. The current tabernacle was rebuilt in 1881. In 2018, Felder Campground celebrated its 175th anniversary.
