Four ways to spend the day
Pick your element.
Every experience uses the same spring-fed water. The only question is whether you'd rather be in it, on it, under it, or dancing next to it.
Swimming & Cliff Jumping
Spring-fed quarry with sandy beach, roped kids' area, rope swings, and cliff jumping when lifeguards call it.
Scenic Camping
Over 750 primitive sites and 60 RV spots across 250 acres of forest, meadows, and quarry-edge ledges.
Scuba Diving
One of the Tri-State's finest freshwater sites. 30ft avg depth, 60ft trench we call The Abyss.
Music Festivals
Ten-plus camping festivals every summer. Grateful Fest, Sunny Days, Badfish, Summerdance, and more.
Our story
Fifty summers, passed between families.
The Ledges have been a gathering place since long before there was a park here. In the late 1950s, an operating rock quarry struck a spring — and within days, 30 acres of stone had filled with cold, clear, spring-fed water.
The property became a private campground in 1972, and since 1995 has been owned and run by Evan Kelley, a former lifeguard who grew up here. Same small staff, same primitive-camping feel, same water.
2026 festival season
Ten-plus weekends on the water.
Camping is included with every multi-day festival ticket. Each event has its own page with the lineup and a direct ticket link.
Sunny Days
Indie, rock, and soul season-opener. Smaller crowd, gentle way into the summer calendar.
Badfish
Two weekends a year — spring opener and fall closer. Reggae, ska, island music around the quarry.
