General Information

Inside The Maine dining hall
The Maine at Blueberry Cove

Blueberry Cove is a beautiful place to host a family reunion, organizational conference, or get married! Rental of the whole facility includes access to a fully functional kitchen and dining hall, rustic cabins accommodating 60-70 people, and the grounds. Fires are allowed only in designated fireplaces, stoves or fire pits.

  • The Maine has a fully functional kitchen and a dining area that accommodates 80 people. There are also picnic tables on the porch and around the grounds.
  • Groups are welcome to use our no-frills camp dishes but many opt to bring in nice matching place settings.
  • There are several single stall bathrooms on site but groups over 75 people are required to bring in portable toilets. 
  • Swimming is not permitted unless the group has proof of a supervisor holding lifeguard certification from a nationally recognized organization.  Groups must adhere to waterfront policies.  Swimming is potentially dangerous and groups are responsible for following appropriate safety practices and supervision.   
  • We do not permit dogs as we host staff, guests and campers who may have allergies, and we also wish to protect the area’s wildlife from interference.         

Cabins and Overnight Stays
