Nice camp site with campfire ring and toilet. I only ordered 10 dollars of camp fire but there were way more than that 🙂. Did use much since it was really cold.
Make sure you arrive during daytime otherwise you will have hard time to find the camp site. 4x4 is recommended when there is snow or wet.

This was such a great find! I have put it on my list of places to return to. I did not appreciate until arriving that Tilden Farm has won many awards (including best Hip Camp in NY) and is a destination for mountain bikers. The awards are well earned. The sites are thoughtfully located and supported with everything needed. The communication was perfect.

Pure serenity! Loved our stay. It was awesome to be able to walk on the trails through the woods with our pups. It would be really cool to rent the lodge in the woods! Something to think about. (Then let us know first!). Thank you for sharing your land with us.

A very nice camp site (#2). This is located down a rural road that is a little rough. The area was quiet. Nathan stopped in after we got set up and talked to us about some local attractions, which, unfortunately, we were not able to visit. There definitely will be a next time. Very easy access to the site with large gravel drives and pads.

We had a great time staying at Little Spring Haven. Nate was an excellent host and made sure we had everything we needed as well as giving us recommendations for things to do and places to visit. The site was quiet and peaceful. Just what we needed to close out our final camping trip of the season. We plan to come back next year!

This was my third time staying on Ken’s land, just for a night while on my way to/from Maine.
While I’ve never stopped for too long and I’m usually getting in late, it is so nice knowing that there is a nice, safe space to stop to break up the long drive. The property is beautiful and I wish I had more time to explore!
Thanks Ken!
