A true wilderness experience. Base camp is an old Catskill farmhouse built late 19th century but first deeded 1820. Sits at the base of Evergreen Mountain bordered on three sides by tumbling water: West Kill Creek, Herdman Brook, and Haring Brook. Operated as a hunting and fishing lodge for decades - rainbow, brown, heron, kingfishers, eagles, larks , deer, bear, mink, beaver, bobcat - all there, right out the door, literally. You don't know what's going to come through your camp. The actual camp site itself is the ultimate in social distancing. As close to pure wilderness as it gets. No vehicles allowed at site. From an easily accessible parking space, it's a mildly uphill ten minute hike through magical meadows deep into a hidden mountain valley in the midst of 250,000 acres. Utter privacy. The only sounds being the wind, the birds, yourself, and Herdman Brook rushing along a few yards east of your site. Once again no vehicles are allowed at the campsite itself. At one time, yes, but we needed to disallow it because the property was being torn up, and the beauty of the site is that it's so pristine. This is not glamping. No cabin. No platform. Need tent, tarp, or hammock, and you will sleep under more stars than you can possibly imagine. Fire ring, cooking grate, water bucket This is true wilderness camping. You're off the grid at site - no cell service - but wifi available if necessary on front porch of main house aka base camp. 10 a.m. check in. 3 p.m. checkout. Please send ETA when possible. Campers ought to be aware that black bears live in these mountains., although you're not likely to see one unless it's running away from you. If you're really nervous bring bear spray, but you're not likely to need it. I literally chased one off our porch not a month ago. I would appreciate your purchasing human waste bags from me at base camp when you arrive. I'll have them here for $3.00/bag. Feel free to buy your own. You should also bring FIRE STARTER to make your life easier. We sell firewood as well - 7 logs/$10. As with the waste bags, we would appreciate buying the firewood directly from us. Wonderful hikes - one to a waterfall - trail head at end of Spruceton Rd. Hunter Brook, Devil's Notch, Fire Tower atop Hunter Mountain, Ridge of West Kill Mountain West Kill Brewery and Spruceton Inn Bed and Bar each half mile up the road. Civilized respites. 4 campers preferred. 6 possible. One more thing: DOGS. We have two: a 13 year old female whatever and a shepherd-husky mix, 4 years old, also female. They are quite friendly and docile, although the shepherd looks intimidating, and both roam the property at will 2-3 times/day. We would prefer you not bring your dog, however, if you must, please be certain it is well behaved 4.5 miles up County Rte 6 to 1833 Spruceton Rd., NY 12492 Old white farmhouse. On left. Coach lights. American flag. Welcome sign. Look for Baker Rd. Bridge directly opposite on right Stop at house for check in and guide to site. And Drive Carefully! PS: Pack it in. Pack it out. Please leave campsite as pristine as you found it.

115 acres along the West Canada Creek. Great spots for fishing, swimming and or tubing down the river. Fishing just down the creek from the trophy waters of the West Canada Creek. Fields and woods for hiking. Also great for bird watching, have a grassy pond that is popular with various species of birds. Stay in a lean-to overlooking the West Canada Creek or stay in the screen house next to the creek.

Weekend Trip to Triple Creek

We had a great stay at Triple Creek! The view from the campsite is stunning and so peaceful and quiet. Stephen was communicative and very sweet when we arrived, and then gave us full privacy after check-in. Like other campers have mentioned, there is a considerable uphill walk to the campsite …a cart is a must, but it’s still quite a workout getting a cart up and your gear up there. We were there late October and the ticks were bad (mostly on the walk up/down)- we planned for it with long pants, boots, tick spray etc and were fine though. There’s a great brewery about a mile down the road and tons of really cool hiking very close to the campsite - we recommend hiking the West Kill Summit along Devil’s Path. Overall we had a great stay and would definitely recommend this site to other (prepared) campers!

Grateful for the opportunity to stay on Stephen’s beautiful, secluded, and serene land. Pack light and be prepared for a ~10 min uphill walk but it is SO worth it! The views are incredible: we watched the sun and moon rise/set with only the sounds of nature surrounding us. This is one of our favorite campsites: we will be back!

Weekend Trip to West Canada Creek Farm

My wife and I had such a great weekend camping on this property. The site itself was beautiful and clean. Chris was a great host and was very accommodating. We spent the day in the water and let our dog roam free. He’s exhausted today! Would definitely recommend staying here and we are excited to be able to come back! Also would recommend stopping by to look at his pumpkin carvings! We bought a few on the way home. Thanks again!

Weekend Trip to West Canada Creek Farm

Chris was quick to respond to my inquiry before booking the site. Everything is as advertised, and there were no surprises. He met us at the house and led us to the site with a tour of the area and the river. I really appreciated the laminated information packet inside the screen house. This has the best outhouse ever, so clean! We loved having a river for our dog to swim in, and the fire pit to warm us up and dry her off.

Everything about this camp was awesome. I liked the view of the water and accessing it was very easy. The lean-to and the outhouse were well kept. Accessing the campsite was a simple minute drive from the road, and you can park right next to the site. The view of the stars was awe-inspiring. I will definitely be back and I’d recommend to all campers.

All in all great camp! A secluded spot in the forest above the river. nice fields and river access - was great fun to run around with the kids and dip in the river. lean-to was great with the rainy night that we had. Chris was nice and helpful. only downside to take into account, is some amount of road noise from the nearby highway - not terrible, but there...

3 nights at West Canada Creek Farm

The lean-to camp was awesome. Really pretty view of the creek and all you need for a camp. Brought 3 of my kids there for 3 nights. They loved it. And the ability to order firewood straight from the owner was a huge plus!! And it was right at the camp ready for us. No need to cart our own or try to find some on the way there. The land is perfect. Secluded enough to feel like you are in the middle of nowhere, but still close enough to civilization if you forgot something. I took the kids to the Herkimer Dimond Mines for a day. It's not to far away. The creek is beautiful. Chris was really helpful, explaining what we could do and where we could go. They had a map and info. Other than the Dimond mines, we pretty much stayed there the 3 days. We swam, kayaked and hiked all over the land. Chris even helped us jump start our van when I left some lights on too long. Chris is also very responsive through the app!! Which is a huge plus.

Stephen was a communicative and welcoming host. We checked in and did not see him again (didn't need to) after making our way deep into his property. The campsite is solid: good space for a tent, a nice firepit, and beautiful views of the stars on a clear night. The location is also nice. There are many trails nearby and as many others have said the West Kill Brewery is a great place to visit.
