Camp Eight Pentecostal Cemetery
Rapides Parish Cemeteries of LA
Photos and Submitted by Lewis Westfall & Jerry Watson
This cemetery is located on the west side of LA 121
between Gardner and Hineston, LA, at the Otis Community. Camp Eight Turpentine
Camp was a community of Black, White, and Mexican laborers who tapped the pine
trees and gathered the turpentine. In the early 1900's when the mill "cut out"
and moved away, it left at least one small burial ground. A Mexican graveyard
was supposed to be behind the present fenced cemetery, but nothing remains at
this time to mark the spot except a small knoll of pine trees.
