Officials were investigating a fire that destroyed one wooden tent at Balls Creek Campground and damaged two others Monday.

Authorities from the Catawba County Fire Marshal's Office did not know Tuesday whether the blaze was intentionally set, said fire inspector William Bump.

The campground is the site of the annual Ball's Creek Camp Meeting, a religious revival and gathering of people from the community that has been held for about 150 years.
