**Please confirm you have read our property description and rules before booking** Our slice of paradise consists of 225 acres of forested land nestled in the foothills of the Catskills near Albany. We are a homestead and small campground devoted to the principles of organic farming and self-reliance. Modern agriculture and big business are unsustainable, destroying farmland at an accelerating pace. It is important for us to teach the next generation, there is an alternative. We produce much of our own food. We have friendly goats, chickens, ducks, peacocks, donkeys and horses the guests can pet and feed. There are no swimming holes on our property, but many waterfalls and swimming spots within a short drive (see list below). A quick 5 minute drive will get you to one of the best disc golf courses in the north east. For the truly adventurous, Clarksville Cave is a short drive away. Visit their website for list of proper gear and rules. We do rent some of the equipment needed.

Tucked away in the back corner of the campground, you will be sure not to disturb other guests! It is massive and can accommodate large parties. This campsite offers the most privacy and seclusion. It is also furthest from the facilities. May require 4WD during inclement weather/mud season. For 2WD/low clearance vehicles, we recommend Campsites 1 and 3.

Review summary
Generated from real Hipcamper reviews
Magic Forest Farm offers a delightful camping experience, combining privacy with the charm of a working farm. Visitors consistently praise the spacious and well-maintained campsites, the unique outdoor shower, and the friendly farm animals like goats and peacocks. While some found navigation and check-in to be slightly confusing, the hosts are noted for their quick and helpful responses. The farm's serene environment and the opportunity to explore on-site trails make it a favorite among families and solo campers alike.

Tent camped at Site 4 Magic Forest Far Forget-Me-Not Spot, Oct 2026.

We had a fantastic weekend at the Forget me Not spot. It was very secluded, there was a ton of space. We had 2 one person tents, a large screen house and still plenty of space. The property itself is literally magical. The outdoor shower was exactly what I had expected. Walking out of the shower to peacocks at the door was something I would have never expected. Jay was super helpful and brought us wood up on the cart, saving us driving down to the wood pile. We were able to play our music the entire time. We were invited to one of the volunteers fires. Although, we went the wrong way trying to find it once we got settled. There are many animals, trails and even fruit trees. Everyone there was super friendly. A wonderful place to camp in late September.

I loved tent camping on Joan's land! Site #3 was nice and set back from the other sites and soooo spacious! There were trails that were very fun to walk on and explore right on the land. The farm animals were great to hang out with and you can't beat the farm fresh eggs! We were lost with how to get to some of the things and Joan responded within minutes. Super attentive. Great spot! Can't wait to come back
