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 $35 based on double occupancy. Each additional person (ages 12 and older, max = 6 people per site) is $10. 2. Our price increases to $50 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!

Site 4 - Bluestone Camp & Retreat
Very quiet and beautiful. It’s a hidden gem. There are many options on the property for lodging and I chose primitive camping. I woke to the drumming of Pileated woodpeckers.

Wild and wonderful
Our kids enjoyed running in the field , swimming in the pool and staring at the stars at night. The spot is exactly what you would expect from wild and wonderful state of West Virginia

Camping in Solitude
We loved camping on Marks land. It’s very quiet and remote. Our Doberman was allowed to play off-leash and they even offered use of the pool to us. Couldn’t be happier with our stay. Thank You!!

Bluestone is Golden!!
Before we even arrived at Bluestone, Mark had contacted us and made us feel welcome. This continued through the entire experience. Just enough contact with the host to let us know that we were well taken care of. The grounds are immaculate. Swings, cabins, pool (not yet filled with water, but it was only May), rec center, chapel, open fields for camping, covered pavillions for eating under. It was truly amazing. I give Bluestone 5 stars. I give Mark 7 stars. I would easily go back there again when I'm in the New River area. Even with the hour drive to the New (what we were seeing), I would choose this over many other options.

Awesome campsite!
We stayed at Bluestone Camp & Retreat Labor Day weekend. While a little off the beaten path, we found the campsite very accommodating. We have a RPod 180. If you don’t mind driving 34-40 minutes to Hinton and the surrounding attractions, this is a must place to camp. Mark was helpful when our GPS got us lost, met us when we arrived and personally took us to the campsite. The firepit was brand new and there was a supply of wood nearby for our use. The bathhouse was clean and close by. Mark also offered use of the pool and there is a frisbee golf course on the property. Lovely view of Bluestone Lake and very peaceful!
