Stories from the community

Weekend Trip to Hunterbrook Mountain

Amazing experience! We loved the seclusion of the camp site while also having the comfort of being close to the car. Stephen and Bill were most accommodating, providing a jeep ride to the camp site to help carry our supplies, recommending local attractions and suggesting an amazing spot to view the 4th of July fireworks. The camp site has a beautiful creek and a couple of trails to explore right there. The spot is well looked after and has everything for a relaxing time. Will be happy to go back!

Weekend Trip to Crystal Spring Camp

As we pulled around the windy gravel road, we came upon a clearing across from the Art Trail. Tucked under tall, fragranced pine trees, we found multiple tiki torches leading to an iron table and chairs, situated beside the fire pit. We decided to tuck our tent under the pines on a ground of needles, next to the cozy wooden bench. The grounds were idyllic, full of birdsong and soft breezes. We found a spot for the hammock to lounge in the shade… and while it was a 90’ day, it was pleasant and cooler under the pines. There is a small active stream a short walk from the camp. The owners of Crystal Spring, Rose and Eric, are quite lovely, helpful, and friendly. They came to greet us with a bouquet of various herbs from their garden. Overall, this was such a sweet little getaway. We will definitely be back soon x

3 nights at Clearing Farm

Awesome site! It was pretty hot the whole time we were there, the waterfalls were absolutely perfect to cool off. Host gave us plenty of suggestions for food and places to check out. Plenty of open space, our dog loved it. Definitely recommend staying here.

2 nights at Paradise Valley Homestead

I car camped at Site 7 for two nights and it was perfect. The site was very private with plenty of room and only a short walk to the waterfall. Kathleen was so welcoming and helpful! I am already looking forward to my next visit!

2 nights at Paradise Valley Homestead

I had an incredible time staying at Kathleen’s land. The peace, the connection with nature, and the simplicity of the surroundings made it a truly special experience. It was exactly what I needed to relax and recharge. Kathleen was a great host—everything was well thought out, and I felt welcomed and safe. I would definitely come back again. Highly recommended for anyone looking to reconnect with nature and find some peace and quiet.

Weekend Trip to BeaverWood Farm (no children)

We loved Beaverwood Farm ! The hosts Paul & Marilyn are such warm wonderful people whom made us feel comfortable and welcome. The farm animals made us laugh and they are so sweet. We fed them some treats (veggies and corn) and they were our best friends. There were a lot of other people which was great because we did not feel alone. We are beginner campers so this is a great place to start. I highly recommend this place because we had a great time. It is very clean and well maintained. The G.O.A.T (Greatest Of All Time) of the goats :-)

Weekend Trip to BeaverWood Farm (no children)

Absolutely incredible place. Paul and Marilyn are extremely cool, chill, and kind. Paul pulls out all the stops to make sure you are getting plenty of animal time. He let us hold baby goats and baby chickens! There were some annoying campers running a generator all day/night but another camper complained and Paul rode over on his ATV to firmly but kindly shut it down which we all appreciated. We will absolutely be coming back as long as we can!

I just got back and am already planning our next trip because I miss it already!

I toyed with the idea of making this a fan letter to Paul and Marilyn, but decided against it… Beaverwood is a can’t-miss campsite in the heart of the Catskills with the amazing Paul and Marilyn who are the consummate hosts. My partner and I arrived on Thursday and they were polite, helpful and enthusiastic about us joining them for the long weekend. We knew all about the different animals, the rules of the site and best of all we knew all we needed to know to feel comfortably at home for the duration of our stay. Camping in these sorts of grounds is a pleasure and we had everything we needed. We even had Paul give us a quick tow out of the mud on day 1! 10/10 would recommend and 10/10 will be back!

First let me say how lovely Paul and Marilyn are- they have enviable energy levels which helps them maintain jovial attitudes while juggling many reservations, folks coming and going, and (no exaggeration) over 100 farm animals! The animals are FUN and there were tons of babies! The property is a perfect example of turning coal into a diamond. Yes, it’s imperfect due to activities and rubble from days gone by, but the views are stunning, the individual campsites are well cared for and the animals help to make lasting memories. A note for the guys: be prepared for a little frisky business if their pig “Princess Peach” is in heat! lol She’s gotta be all of 3/400 pounds and she definitely goes after what she wants. It was a hoot (for the women laughing nearby, unsure how to help)! 😂

Weekend Trip to BeaverWood Farm (no children)

Great stay! Crazy unique experience with the animals. I will say - the animals will get involved with your site. A cow walked into our tent and ripped it… but I guess that is to be expected! Overall, it was very positive. We loved the host and had a great time using the canoes and playing with the animals.

Weekend Trip to BeaverWood Farm (no children)

We had a great time camping on the farm! It’s a beautiful spot with lots of cute animals. The owners are very friendly and gave us great recommendations for nearby hikes and swim spots. Will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Clearing Farm

Such an awesome site. Even with a few renovations such as the outhouse (replaced with outdoor porter potty) and the thermal spring, there was still so much to do. Jenna was an incredible and responsive host! Awesome for a small family getaway.

Weekend Trip to BeaverWood Farm (no children)

The ideal. Best thing I’ve found on Hipcamp. Perfect hosts with charisma and courtesy who work hard to keep the place magical, a unique property with more than you can experience in a single stay. So many local attractions but nothing compares to waking up with a friendly cow or goat cruising by your campsite. And it’s really camping, not some glammed up experience. Excellent layout of sites and fire pits. A must visit in NY state.

2 nights at BeaverWood Farm (no children)

Such a great campsite! Lovely lake and forest views walking around the grounds and very well maintained considering all the animals roaming. The hosts are extremely welcoming and present, checking in whenever they see you and offering a baby goat to hold if available lol. Will wake up to roosters crowing and cows munching in your front lawn

Weekend Trip to Crystal Spring Camp

We loved staying here, the camp sites are super secluded and the hosts were very helpful and welcoming!

1 night at Paradise Valley Homestead

It’s a loooong road in but worth it! lovely places to swim and play in and a wonderful waterfall - sweet outhouses, hiking trails - it’s remote feeling and lovely. Host Kathleen is great.

1 night at Paradise Valley Homestead

Loved staying at Kathy’s place. The land was beautiful and the waterfall was amazing! Kathy was friendly and welcoming. We had a good amount of privacy at our site while still feeling like we were amongst other friendly campers as we walked the grounds. Wish we could’ve stayed longer. We will definitely be back!

I loved camping here! Paul and Marilyn are very kind and have a beautiful property and a great camping set up especially for groups. The animals were very friendly and pleasant to be around. We got to see baby goats that one of the mamas had while we were there, they were adorable! We got caught in the rain for a couple of days but we still made it work and the animals made it more worth it, the warm showers definitely helped. I would definitely recommend coming here if you enjoy the farm scenery and I will definitely be back!
