Anderson Camp Ground (also known as Brushy Creek Arbor and United Methodist Church) is a historic camp ground in Brushy Creek, in Anderson County, Texas, United States (not to be confused with Brushy Creek in Williamson County, near Austin).

The Arbor is a wooden tent-like structure that was built in 1874. The Brushy Creek Methodist Church is a one-story Gothic Revival structure that was built in 1894.

The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]

The last Methodist camp meetings at the camp ground occurred in the 1930s.[2]
