16mi from Lowville · 1 site · Tent, RV
With cobblestone mill ruins, a 200 year old cemetery at the property entrance and a large dam at the top of some of New York's most beautiful waterfalls, this is the former site of one of the Georgia Pacific's many logging mills dating back to the early 1800's and a part of Adirondack history.
Surrounded by bedrock, huge boulders, massive pine trees and miles and miles of trails, the Fowlerville Falls offer days of exploration and/or relaxation. There is a large swimming hole at the top of the falls, just off of the South-facing bedrock bank, where you can swim or lay in the sun. The falls, themselves, are almost 500 ft. across (at the widest point) and approximately 150 ft. in length (from top to bottom), ascending at approximately a 40-45 degree angle, making them navigable by foot. In the drier months (and, of course, depending on rain fall), most of the falls are dry, with only 50 - 100 ft. of water flow, making them navigable by foot. There are many little pools and flowing water across the bedrock to explore, along with the rest of the river, the surrounding woods and adjacent miles and miles of atv/hiking trails.
If you are kayaker, there river above the falls is calm and fairly shallow, ranging from .5 - several feet in depth. And if you are white water enthusiast, Fowlerville Falls (and the Moose River) is a nationally rated and renowned spot, boasting a class III-IV under normal release conditions, and a dangerous, cold class V under spring runoff conditions.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions.

Nestled in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains in upstate New York, this 87-acre expanse of forest, streams, and lake is the perfect escape from the business of life.

With heated cabins, water and electric RV sites, and outdoor tenting areas, we provide a camping experience that can be tailored to fit the needs of small and large groups. Whether it's cozying up around the fire in one of our indoor lounging areas; pitching a tent at our outpost camp lean-to site in the middle of the woods; sipping complimentary hot chocolate, coffee, or tea as you watch the sunrise over the lake; or hiking through the woods (or across the lake when its frozen over) and watching the wildlife, Beaver Camp offers a great opportunity to unplug and soak in the peace and quiet of nature.

I live off grid in one of the toughest climates in the US. I have about 15 acres of land bordered by 10,000 acres of wild forest preserve. Locals refer to this area as The Hill because of its unique weather anomalies. I share my experiences with campers in good weather but exist here all year. I am a Qualified NYS Woodland Guide. My actual license is pending the processing of fees and registration. This should be complete by August 1st of this year. I have over a half century of knowledge gained through a lifetime of hiking, exploring and living in this environment. My main focus is the land, lakes, ponds and streams in the lower Adirondack Park. I leave the high peaks, ice climbing and white water rafting to others that choose that speciality. My goal in guiding is not that of a just a follow me and listen guide. I strive to help those interested in learning about and enjoying the outdoors safely so that you take away real life skills you can use once we are done. I did search and resuce work as a volunteer for many years under DEC Forest Rangers. To help contain costs l will allow up to groups of people to participate at one time. Also. If you would like Amish made products, l can arrange that as well. There is a very conservative Amish community in the surrounding area. I consider these people my good friends and l am very familiar with their customs, traditions and lifestyles. Many people are now thinking of doing what we have done. If you so choose, we can schedule time to discuss any of the offgrid issues that may be unanswered in your mind. The original intent was to offer a peaceful place for you to escape for a time. That is still my main purpose. If you are interested in the full story, contact me, Karl, for more information upon arrival or by phone 518 935 5152. Regular business hours. Hope to see you soon. Bring what you expect you will need and be prepared to take home knowledge and lifelong memories created alone or with my help. See you soon. Please check out my reviews. I am thankful for what l have and proud of what l have done here to protect and preserve these woods for me and my guests. Thank you, Karl Pettigrew

Tilden Farms certainly earned their spot as the #1 Hip Camp in New York state! We were passing through while biking the entire Erie Canal. This was our favorite campgrounds of all the ones we stayed at!
The highlights were definitely visiting the baby goats and also doing some boating on a private lake. We didn't get a chance to hike the trails but saw there are lots of options!
The tent sites themselves are in the woods with plenty of space. The maple trees around them are tapped for syrup, which you can purchase in the camp store. We enjoyed some farm-fresh bacon and eggs from the camp store!
Some other notes: We originally booked site 5 but ended up at site 2. Sites 1-3 are more conveniently located near the bathroom, if that's something you'd prefer.
No power at the tent sites, so be sure to plan ahead for that.
The bathroom/shower house seemed basically new! Great setup for those!

This was our first trip in our new travel trailer and using hipcamp. The sites were large, all amenities worked as expected, bathrooms clean, and camp store has just about everything you might need to make a few meals. Ken stopped by to say Hi and was always around - just in case - but all the other campers were friendly but kept to themselves too. The sites without sewer are quieter as they’re a bit further from the highways, but this isn’t a complaint just observation. We are considering when our next stay will be; absolutely coming back!

This land was an amazing place for tent or RV. They have very photogenic spots- which are along manicured ponds and in a pretty field surrounded by trees- and the RV spots. The spots were all wonderful and fun to explore (easy walking paths and a few real hiking trails) but the RV plot was amazing. This was one of the best spots we have got off Hipcamp in our cross country journey so far. It was buried in the trees and opened up to a big secluded area, half gravel and half grass with a concrete platform and full hookups. Not too buggy, no noise, beautiful scenery, and private- too good to be true! No issues the entire time we were there, host came by and gave us some directions around town and on the land and was very kind. It made for a good location. Its close to multiple little grocery stores and small downtown areas, and a short drive to Syracuse. We were there for 2 weeks and I wish we could have stayed for longer. Bookmarking this place for another season!
