Tenting Area Blueberry Corner
Lovely Experience for Eclipse 2024
Wonderful hosts, beautiful blueberry farm with a lake on the side and small trails nearby. I would love to visit again in the summer! Equipped with grills, bathrooms and handwashing station, drinking water, podium for music festivals and everything else you need for 1-2 nights.

Absolute Must Stay
I had the experience of a lifetime viewing the eclipse at Blueberry Pond. Vic, Dick, and Anna Joy were incredible hosts, and made me and others feel like we were a part of their community. They treated us to two nights of a bonfire, which served as a gathering spot for campers, the owners, and neighbors to share stories and connect. I especially loved hearing from Vic and Dick about farm life, including a mini-lesson on the blueberry plants and what makes the newer varieties more pest resistant than the older ones.
My camping site was tucked away in a private, easily accessible wooded area. The beautiful pond was nearby, along with a rustic pavillion which included two propane grills and a number of tables and chairs. The toilets were a nice treat, and very clean. I really appreciate that water, soap, toilet paper, and paper towels were provided.
The clarity of the stars at night was truly awesome, along with the orchestral delights of the frogs at night. I'm thrilled that the eclipse brought me to this special place. I would love to go back and explore the area some more and spend more time with this beautiful community. Thanks to everyone at Grindstone Farms for such a memorable experience.

Beaver Spread On Pond Tent Camping
Laid back gem
The spot was gorgeous, there's a giant bonfire pit, Dick and Vic are a hoot and extremely hospitable, and even told me I overpaid when booking a full night when all I wanted was a day pass and handed me back cash on the spot unasked. Would love to come back when the farm in in full bloom.

Beaver Spread On Pond Tent Camping
Our stay was wonderful! The hosts Dick and Vick (and Anna) were extremely accommodating. They went above and beyond and made us feel like family. We stayed at the camp location on the lake and we had our own private toilet and private dock. Not all sites are like this so read descriptions carefully. There is a communal pavilion with grills and water and lights. There are flushing toilets. There are multiple bench swings near the lake. It is a very peaceful place to be! The only downside was the road being really muddy and hard to navigate because it had rained heavily the week prior, but our little sedan made it just fine with skilled driving. I’m sure on a regular day that the roads wouldn’t be an issue at all. It was opened up earlier than normal for the eclipse, so I’m sure the roads will be fine during their regular season.Thank you!
