About Historic Ocean Grove, NJ 

In the late 1860’s the members of the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association of the Methodist Episcopal Church first pitched their tents here as a means to provide rest, relaxation and relief from the summer heat. A hundred and forty years later, they still do, and Ocean Grove is one of the few camp meeting sites that still remains true to its original purpose.

At one time, tents outnumbered permanent homes by 200 to1. Today, 114 tent structures still nestle around the grand wooden Great Auditorium, a tradition carried on by the descendants of the founding families.
