Salem Camp Ground. in NE Jackson County, near Highway 63. From Biloxi go east on 90 to Pascagoula and then north on 63 about 25 miles. Two miles west of 63 on Cedar Creek is Salem Camp Ground, the oldest Methodist campground in the state still in existence and perhaps the second oldest in the Southeastern Jurisdiction. It was established in 1826 about two miles from where it now stands and has been on its present site more than 100 years.
