Dean was a wonderful host running a very unique campsite. Before and during our stay he was very helpful, providing detailed information and met us upon arrival to ensure we got into the camp without issue. Although we arrived at the end of their drum circle what we did catch was very cool. This site has a lot of history behind it and a lot of great views.

Coolest place to camp!!!
They were so so helpful and friendly! This was our first visit to Connecticut, and they sure made us feel so welcome in this beautiful place! It is so awsome that they have opened up this magical place of theirs so that others could enjoy it! This has been one of our most enjoyable places we have been!

This place was amazing. Dean and Darlene are excellent friendly and knowledgeable hosts that really get the vibe and allure of the area. We had a wonderful time with our two boys making this our homebase for a few days as we explored the area. Stunning views, interesting backstory, well spaced camping sites.

Incredible history
Really interesting property with lots of history. Our tent site was right up on the edge of the quarry wall where we had an outstanding view of the water and surrounding shoreline. Dean was well versed on the property and was eager to share what he had discovered during his research as well as telling us about the various artifacts found around the quarry as he restored the property.

Definitely coming back!
Dean and Darlene were quick to answer when booking our campsite. We booked the same day we stayed. Gave us great directions and met Dean upon arrival. Dean let us know about the drum circle about to happen. Showed us which trail we could take along the property.
We had a couple choices were to stay and stayed the closets to the artifacts. My family and I personally loved that spot! We were able to set up two tents in our space. Beautiful Picnic tables. Love the fire pit it appeared to be made with again beautiful rock formations.
The drum circle was great! It occurred from 6:30-9. My six year old loved it. Dean showed us were my child could pick up different musical instruments to play surrounding the drum circle.
Bathrooms were easy accessible across our tent site. VERY clean port a potty!
Lights light up surrounding the property around sites and makes a nice scenery touch.
We were able to leave and grab some local food and come back.
This is a gorgeous spot in Connecticut. Across is the view Brownstone activity park.

The perfect local get-a-way
Beautiful spot, great host, and Friday night drum circle was a fantastic and welcoming experience! The campground itself is so clean and well kept, and the quarry, history, and beautiful vista really tied it all together. I’ll be going back!

Hidden Gem!
This is an absolute hidden gem! Don’t miss out on the opportunity to book this site, I guarantee you won’t regret it!
I can honestly say I don’t know what was more amazing; the stunning views; absolute solitude/peace &quiet, the historic feel, or the hospitality of Dean and Darlene. This place is a treasure!
We came in for a long weekend and ended up being stuck in traffic and didn’t arrive until 2:00 am. Dean was super accommodating and stayed up just to make sure we arrived and got situated ok. When he realized our trailer jack was broken he went out and got the part for us and replaced it! Just an example of how awesome they are!
The pictures of the views speak for themselves! Can’t wait to come back!

Beauty Abounds
Dean, the rock whisperer, has created such a special place for others to enjoy! This type of camping isn't for everyone, as it doesn't have the usual amenities (yet), but it was perfect for us. Beautiful views, drum circle on Tuesdays and Fridays and natural artistry around every corner. Thank you Dean and Darlene for sharing your wonderful property with the public. We will definitely return.

Slice of the Grand Canyon
Best private property RV experience we've had. Darlene and Dean were great hosts. They were available to answer our questions and give us an impromptu tour and details about the quarry but they also gave us our privacy as well. The quarry is magnificent to see. Feels like a small slice of the grand canyon. Our family had a great time visiting the Brownstone Discovery Park next door. Our stay will always be remembered.

Father's Day Camping
What a special experience Darlene & Dean shared with us on our camping trip. The property is truly unique, with curious rock formations, nicely appointed campsites and a fire ring worthy of kings. We also got to experience the CT Drum Circle community and were welcomed to join in their weekly drum circle. Dean was around the entire time to help us with setup and direct us to sites around town during our visit. Thanks Dean!

Camping in the quarry
Amazing experience. Beautiful, secluded yet with everything that you need. Dean was super helpful and made himself available at all times. Restroom situation is a porta-potty but it is cleaned prior to each new camper. Highly reccomend staying at this site!

Quarry with GORGEous view
What a unique place to park the RV overnight! The rock formations, the view, the dinosaur prints, oh my! The quarry is a one-of-a-kind camping experience lofted 50 feet above the water with extraordinary views. I only wish we had more time and no toddler to worry about. Parents of obstinate little ones: take care. You will have to be vigilant because it is a large cliff. Couples and adult friends, camp til your heart's content. I hear there is a drum circle twice a week and an arts festival coming up. What an awesome place with great hosts. Thank you for the stay!

Darlene & Dean were very accommodating and the site was beautiful. The quarry had a uniqueness to it. We were given our own bathroom and were even able to change sites half way through to get another cool view of the water.

Quarry camp site
We loved staying at Darlene & Deans! The quarry is beautiful, the port a potty’s were VERY clean, and they were accommodating to our group. We had one 22ft RV and two tents. Being able to hookup was an extra bonus. I recommend giving them a try.
