Hemlock Lodge
Hemlock is a cozy winterized Lodge that can accommodate up to 16 people in its four sleeping rooms. Each sleeping room also has a double bed, so that couples and families can be more comfortable. There are two restrooms with showers and a central meeting room with kitchenette and fireplace. This building is located about 100 yds. from the Main Lodge, so larger groups of at least 40 can conveniently rent both buildings. Hemlock is used as staff housing during the summer camp season, and is available for rental from late August through late May. Groups renting Hemlock prepare their own meals, unless they are also renting the Main Lodge.
Ouch House
Between the Main Lodge and Hemlock is the Ouch House, which serves as the nurses cabin in the summer. It can be rented by groups using either the Lodge or Hemlock. It does not have kitchen facilities, so it cannot be rented by itself. The building has three bedrooms with beds for five, and a full bathroom. One bedroom has a double bed. The Ouch House is very practical for large groups that need more sleeping accommodations or groups which want to put a leader/guest in a private building.
Rising Sun
Located at the spillway end of the lake, Rising Sun and Lakeside are Camp Blue Diamond's newest additions. Both cabins have three bedrooms, a living room, kitchen, two bathrooms, a loft, central heat and air, and a TV w/VCR/DVD. It is handicapped accessible. The kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, microwave, oven, dishwasher, coffeemaker, dishes and pots and pans, making it ideal for family vacations and church groups. There are beds for 15 in each cabin. Each bedroom has a double bed, plus bunk beds.
Outside each cabins there is a picnic table and fire ring. Parking is available next to the cabins, and each has a ramp to accommodate guests.
Bearview
Also located near the lake's spillway is the Bearview cabin. Bearview has three bedrooms, a living room, and a full kitchen and bathroom. It has central heat, and can accommodate up to nine people.
