Although far and few between, New York still has some hidden gems. And with its winding roads and dense forests, Bowman Lake State Park is considered one of them. The parks namesake, Bowman Lake, is 35 acres and is the center of pretty much all activity. And that’s a lot! You’ll find beach swimming, remarkable fishing (trout are regularly stocked), and several hikes, the most popular being a loop around the ol’ lake. Campgrounds are roomy, secluded, and shady--so if you aren’t feeling up for much, hanging out in a hammock by the fire is perfectly acceptable. With more than 650 wooded and wild acres, Bowman Lake State Park is well worth a visit.

Beautiful secluded 29-acre property in rural New York. This land had once been part of a large farm for a few hundred years and was subdivided in the early 1990.. Field by field it was let "go wild" and the forests and old fields are rich in stages of succession and biological diversity. There are miles of maintained trails...and even more if you want to go on trails made by deer and rabbits.
Learn more about this land:
Put up a tent or sleep under the stars in one of our three clearings in old meadows,, surrounded by forest. Several trails lead to other places on the land. Campsites about a 4-6 minute walk from parking area. Wagon available to haul your stuff back and forth.

Bramble Hill is also available for family and wedding related photo shoots and you'll see some of these photos that showcase the property. Please note that photos are from over the years and changes may have occurred. Feel free to ask questions about the site.

Jo: is a great person and very strong one at that to be so independent and self-sustaining, I mean what a cool individual, and her work ethic is top tier. She was kind enough to take the time to show me the local Amish market and took me to the church that her and her friends are working on and it was really impressive! Papa Joe's pizza was her recommendation for the local food spot and I have to agree that the Pizza was pretty incredible. It was like $8 for 2 cheese slabs and a drink. Mohawk, NY is nearby and it has a lot of historical significances and there is a cavern nearby and a diamond mine.
The land: was really nice. It's almost the only treelined property in the entire area because most of the properties are amish owned and operated farms. If you want fresh unpasturized milk on tap it's just down the road! YOU WILL HAVE TO HIKE TO CAMP as a disclosure, but once you get there it's well worth it and feels very secluded.
I will definitely visit again and I highly recommened Jo and her land if you're in the area. She's yet to rent out all the sites at once so let's make that happen hipcampers! If you're worried or concered she won't be able to accomodate just reach out and I'm sure she will accomodate you. The toilet is a composting style and you will need to bring your own privacy tent or take it down trail. She has egg krate style wagons for you to haul your gear from the parking area to the camp sites.

When I’m here all I can think of is free ranging horses in Ireland. The property is picturesque and the horses just as beautiful, being greeted by horses in the morning and as well around the camp fire was quite the experience. Ed and Lisa are wonderful hosts providing homemade syrup, firewood, and eggs. I can’t wait to return, if you have kids or a horse lover in the family this stay is for you! Bonus points for having a ports potty on the premises!

I highly recommend visiting Lisa and Ed, genuinely good people who take great care to ensure that you'll be comfortable and have what you need to optimize your stay. They are extremely knowledgeable about pretty much anything to do with farm living, and the horses receive amazing care.Lisa and Ed can't hide how much they love them. As far as which site to pick I walked the entire grounds and whichever site you choose is a winner, comes down to personal preference. There's no place else that can match this experience. Lisa and Ed are very responsive and have suggestions on local things to do .The reviews, all positive are a bit like pictures, they can't tell the whole story. Get here yourself and enjoy this peaceful, serene beautiful place and have this unique experience, you'll be glad you did. Don't forget all of the other things you can do to add to your experience that Lisa lists. This would be an unforgettable experience for a family with young kids. Bring a camera! Aside from the residents, the fields are visited by deer, and there are foxes, birds. There's a cabin, 2 trundle beds,folding room divider, windows all around, small sitting area with an awning in back looking into the forest .Lisa and Ed are kind, considerate and caring hosts. * Ask about buying some amazing Maple Syrup made using Ed's grandfather's recipe. You can't buy anything like it anywhere else!
Thank you Lisa and Ed for your kindness and hospitality. Enjoyed my stay, hope to be back.
