Camden is home to the second oldest polo field in the nation. Built in 1898, this key attraction has drawn visitors from around the world for decades. The field still holds a central place in the heart of historic Camden and in the hearts of its people.
The Camden Polo Field is held in perpetual trust by the Palmetto Trust for Historic Preservation and has been declared a National Landmark. Efforts to save this field from development have been heralded across the state and in polo circles around the country.
In the spirit of the polo tradition, play resumes every year in early May for the Camden Cup. Regional polo teams compete for the Cup Trophy and spectators enjoy a day of elegant tailgating, divot stomping and the chance to mingle with fellow polo fans.
