The Property
The guest common areas include our 100 year old Rec Hall featuring our registration area, a full kitchen for guests and events, games, dining areas, and more. The screened porch and sun deck provide lovely areas to gather. The pergola and picnic tables are great for dining and conversation, as well as home base for lawn games.
We offer two campfire areas which include a large stone firepit in the orchard, and a fireplace at ‘The Ruins’. Seating and firewood are provided, and s’mores makings are standard!
A beautiful woodland path leads to our Rust Pond waterfront, where you will find a sandy beach and extensive docks. Swimming and boating are favorite activities here, as well as just reading and relaxing with family and friends. Personal watercraft are available and included.
Many additional games are available, including pickleball, basketball, volleyball, and badminton. Come and enjoy as much or as little as you like!
The Water
Our Rust Pond is 40’ deep and supplied by pristine springs and mountain streams. It’s crystal clear water is lovely for swimming. With no public access, the lake is quiet and peaceful, and there are many spots to explore, visit with loons, and pick blueberries!
The waterfront has extensive docks and a sandy beach with seating. The water has a sandy bottom with a shallow area great for kids. Our fleet of watercraft includes kayaks, SUP’s, a canoe, and a sail fish. Life jackets and paddles are provided, and these amenities are included with your rental.
Campfires
Grey Shingles Camps has two areas to gather for campfires. The large stone firepit in the old apple orchard, and a stone fireplace is part of ‘The Ruins’, remains from a fire in 1970. We provide the firewood and Rich’s special hand hewn marshmallow sticks! It is a great way to unwind at the end of a long day of activities, view the stars, and connect with other campers.
The Rec Hall
The Grey Shingles Camps Rec Hall was built in the 1920’s for Camp Ehawee for girls, so it was always a dining and recreation hall. The girls slept in bunks on the 2nd floor!
The Rec Hall is a lovely gathering place for guests to enjoy cooking and dining, playing ping pong and foosball, watching movies and sporting events, working on puzzles and board games. There is a fireplace to take the chill off, and comfy living room style seating. The screened porch and open sun deck are surrounded with gardens of hydrangea and summer flowers, with lovely long views of the property. We often see guests relaxing and reading, or doing remote work using our free WIFI.
