About Campground

Primitive CAMPING and Picnic area . Quarry View is a unique 334 year old Brownstone quarry that is listed as a Historic National Landmark. Here you will find natural springs that flow from what we call "The wall of water" down to one of our small waterfalls. We also have many artifacts including dinosaur tracks and carved dates in the stones in the walls that go back to 1887. There is a trail that leads back in time to an area with 80 foot brownstone walls left from the quarry operations. Here you can find a rear patio where a musician will enjoy the acoustics unlike any other. Tuesday and Friday Drum circles 6:30-9 with a sunset ceremony. We sit 50 feet above the water upon the ledges that overlook the Brownstone Discovery and Adventure park below . (SITES ARE BASED on 2 adults children under 16 FREE)

Directions

We are on the corner of Middlesex Avenue and Brownstone Avenue

This place is just Amazing!! Pics do not give this place justice. We planned to stay only one night but when we arrived we asked for a 2nd night. If you want a place to just relax and decompress this is the place to do that. Dean and Darlene are the perfect host and just wonderful people. We have been traveling the US for 5 months and this place is at the top of the list of places stayed. If you are in the area I hope you get to stay and enjoy this place as we did. Thank You Dean and Darlene for a wonderful experience!!!

We had our wedding ceremony at the far end of the quarry and I’d do it all over again & again in so many other beautiful areas around the park! Such a unique location that is somewhere between Lord of the Rings & Star Wars.

A 6 acre park with an 18 foot drop to the water. Stay on the Peace Trail or enjoy the patios by the water. Annual artisans craft fair is Saturday June 3. 2023. Look for drum circles offered on CT Drum on FB. Pack a lunch, paint, meditate, camp. The Brownstone walls embrace you. Dean and Darlene cleared this space and created a spiritual haven.
