Bluestone Camp & Retreat is a Presbyterian Summer Camp Program with organized summer youth and family camp activities over 4 weeks in June and July, and a three-season Retreat Destination for a variety of church, non-profit, and family groups April through November. We are a ministry of the Presbytery of West Virginia (PCUSA) serving member congregations as well as many other church and non-profit organizations. Bluestone has been in operation since 1953. Our Mission is to provide experiences that are character building in nature through Summer Camping Programs and other programmatic events for children, youth, and adults; and to provide opportunities for recreation, rest, and renewal through the use of our facilities as a Center of Christian Hospitality. We have five camp sites that overlook the Bluestone Lake Reservoir.  Each is a clearly defined 60' x 20' space along one side of a level grass field, and each is equipped with a 50/30/20 amp electric pedestal, water spigot, sewer drop, picnic table, and an above ground steel campfire pit. There is also a shower house available for Hipcampers to use.   We have two price points: 1. Our Regular Price per night is $40 based on double occupancy. Each additional person (ages 12 and older, max = 6 people per site) is $10. 2. Our price increases to $55 per night for the months of June and July which is our high season. Each additional person (ages 12 and older, max = 6 people per site) is $10. Youth and Children ages 11 and younger are free, so keep that in mind when you select the number of guests in your party!

  • Review summary

    Generated from real Hipcamper reviews

    Bluestone Camp & Retreat offers a tranquil and remote camping experience with clear skies perfect for stargazing. Hosts Mark and Cheryl are noted for their exceptional hospitality, often going out of their way to assist campers. The campsite boasts well-maintained facilities including a clean bathhouse, a large swimming pool, and ample space for outdoor activities. However, the remote location means limited cell service and a steep access road, which might be challenging for larger vehicles.

    The 5 RV campsites are along the edge of a large open field that is surrounded by trees. The mountains are visible in the distance, but you need to walk to the edge of the field to see Bluestone Lake. If the sky is clear, this is a great place for stargazing. The sites for the RVs are level, but are grass, so if the field is wet, it may be problematic to drive a heavy rig in or out. The lake is far below, so there is no concern with flooding. Full hookups are at the midpoint of each site (along the side of the RV) and are in great shape. Mark and Cheryl are terrific hosts, and we spent a fun evening on their screened porch drinking wine and sharing stories. The location is remote. There is no Wi-Fi at the campsites, and our AT&T reception was spotty at best. The Wi-Fi was good up at the lodge. You will need to drive at least 30 minutes to get to any town or any activity off the grounds. The camp has a large swimming pool with a diving well, volleyball and basketball courts, a frisbee golf course, and lots of open land. We were there in mid-August and were the only people at the camp or campsites. The photos online at Hipcamp are accurate representations. We will definitely stay again if we return to the area.

    The camp is gorgeous and well kept! Also has some cool birdwatching. We had a great time tent camping, thanks to Mark for being such a welcoming, helpful host

    Camped in a 30 ft travel trailer at Site 1, Dec 2025.

    Mark is a great host and communicator. He gave us clear directions on what roads are best for pulling a trailer. Our rv site was awesome as we were the only people staying here at the time. The sky was clear for amazing star gazing and this location is about an hour from New River Gorge National Park. T-Mobile home internet was “weak”, about 25 Mbps - but enough to stream a tv show. Verizon cell was about 2 bars and T-Mobile cell was 1 bar. One thing to consider when staying here is the road in is very steep - about 14-16% grade, so if you have more trailer than truck, you may burn up your transmission/brakes. We would definitely stay here again!
