Nice and quiet. Lots of beautiful forest. Simple access. The old house appears a little spooky when setting up at night, but it’s not - especially after the sun came up. TJ was extremely kind and helpful. I would definitely return.

Really cool site. Drive in, park, and safely store your food away from your campsite. Walk about .25 miles in and pitch your tents in a grassy patch overlooking the brook. At night, the brook is a perfect sound machine. Explore historic trails, spot some deer, and enjoy a fire at night and in the morning. Kings is nearby for any and all last minute grocery needs. Would love to share this site with more friends.

Sweet Secluded Site
TJ was super responsive to all of our questions leading up to the trip. It's great that he's local and knows much about the surrounding areas and local features. The site was everything we needed in mid summer- shaded, wonderful, peaceful and private. Understandably, parts of the terrain and trees show damage from the recent and severe storms, but there's ample space to set up camp. I understand the property in three distinct sections: the Entryway, the Main camp site and Back Trail. The entryway is a manicured Certified Wildlife Habitat. The main camp ground includes a rougher gravel driveway, surrounded by trees. Through the old barn, you'll find the back trail that parallels the India Brook Natural Area, a trail system leads to the Buttermilk Falls! There's no official stream crossing to connect TJ's to the White Trail, but it can be done with caution and care (or without fear of getting wet). I highly recommend it for hiking or trail running. The terrain can get a little rocky and technal, so be mindful of what you can handle. The India Brook system is clearly marked on the Strava Fitness App.

Slice of heaven
I can't wait to rave about this amazing campsite! It was an absolute paradise nestled between a babbling brook and a serene lake. The scenery was simply breathtaking! But what truly made this experience exceptional was the proximity to some fantastic hiking trails, perfect for adventure seekers. And let me tell you about the host! He was incredibly responsive and welcoming. From the moment we arrived, Thomas made sure we had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. His warmth and friendliness added an extra layer of coziness to the whole experience. We spent our day exploring the stunning hiking trails located on the property that connect to buttermilk falls trails, and kayaking on the lake. Our evening was filled with the soothing sounds of the brook, making it the ultimate relaxation spot. The peaceful atmosphere was just what I needed to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. I can't recommend this campsite enough. It's a true gem for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. If you're looking for an unforgettable getaway surrounded by nature's beauty and hosted by a responsive and caring individual, this is the place for you! I'm already counting down the days until I can return and create more cherished memories in this slice of heaven.

Beyond beautiful
A special place thru and thru. TJ was beyond accommodating and the property itself is more than worth the money. Waking up soaking wet to the gorgeous view made it absolutely worth it! Frogs galore!! So much to explore. We thoroughly enjoyed our time. Thank you TJ!

The space is huge and quiet and peaceful…but near everything at the same time. Despite acres of land there was really only one suitable place to set up our huge tent and place tons of our gear. We walked around and went in the water and saw frogs and deer and heard coyotes and chilled. Definitely use tick spray and check nightly for bites. TJ was responsive and kind. Only about an hour outside of NYC so convenient as well. Thank you!
