Blueberry Patch Campground
New York—Blueberry Patch Campground is a small, semi-primitive campground located along Picnic Area Road (County Route 2), next to the large blueberry patch it received its name from. This is a popular spot to gather berries when they are in season. The berry patch features the high bush as well as low bush blueberries.
There are nine campsites available. Each has a fire pit, a tent pad, a picnic table, and parking for up to two cars. This campground is designed for tents or small campers under 24 feet long. Some of the picnic tables are handicap accessible. There are two handicap accessible vault toilets.
Nearby trails include the Interloken Trail and the Burnt Hill Trail.
If you prefer to hike, picnic, or gather berries without camping, please use the first parking lot as you drive into the campground.
