Description

The scenic Nelson Ledges Quarry Park is a great place to camp, swim, hike, sunbathe, attend music festivals, or just plain hang out. The park is a beautiful landscape made up of 250 acres of forest, meadows, streams, rock ledges, fishing lakes & of course the quarry itself. There are also more than 400 campsites, some deep in the woods, some along the Quarry, & others in secluded meadows. Nelson Ledges is therefore an ideal venue for weekend-long music festivals as well. The park is a unique & special place that is cherished by many. Over the last 50 years, thousands have claimed that their greatest memories were made at the Quarry. Due to their interactions with friends & the landscape as a whole, the park leads to experiences that can be compared with no other. It's a place where friends come together, friends are made, people fall in love, & the best times are had. There is also a variety of individual campsites that cater to personal preference. Whether it's on a ledge by the water or deep in the woods, you can camp near the social activity or settle in one of the quiet, isolated areas. We pride ourselves on being a primitive campground to avoid the trailer/RV look of our competitors. Campers and Winnebago's are more than welcome to visit for a few days, but long stays are not encouraged, and there are no water or electrical hookups for campers or RV's. Small, quiet generators are allowed, but the park otherwise accommodates primitive camping only..

Know what you're signing up for!

This beautiful campground is host to many music festivals during the camping season. That being said do not go if you're uncomfortable with a lot of partying and loudness! This isn't the place for everybody but if that's what you're looking for you've found it here! If you just want to swim and avoid a party, go in during the week or a Sunday for a day pass.

The vendors are amazing and off weekends can still be a great time but festivals are even better. I have been going to this campground for over 15 years now. The people you will meet are amazing, kind and loving. You can truly be yourself here with no judgement.

Staff and vendors are very friendly. Except if you bring in glass (they're taking it!) Or if you drive over 5mph!

There is a beautiful state park also worth visiting, next to this private campground.

The bathrooms here are hit or miss due to the nature of the place and limited staffing. There is one shower available (bring flip flops).. or be like us and bring your own bath house. It's very comfortable that way.

RV spots are first come first serve, don't expect to get one unless you show up a day early before the festival.

Have a good time!
