We had a wonderful stay. The host and his family were so friendly and accommodating. The site had plenty of space and gave us enough privacy. The lean-to came in handy during our first night when we had some heavy rain.

Isaac was a great communicator. The property is beautiful and has many lovely trails to explore and old dry laid stone walls to admire. It was quiet, easy and just what I needed to enjoy some quiet!

This was a great private area to set up tent. My friend and I hiked all day and then found our area all ready with a box of firewood (paid extra and worth it!) and 2 buckets of water. There was a nice bench which we used as a table to set up our dinners. Plenty of room for 2 tents. Watched the fire until we went to bed. We woke up the next morning to the birds chirping, packed up, went on another hike and then heading home. The Catskills were beautiful, as usual!

This is the best deal in town. It was equally as comfortable as a hotel but you’re out in a beautiful landscape. There are privacy screens, so while the owner’s home is in sight, it still feels like you have your own space. George was really welcoming and we chatted about their lovely garden. Next time, we’d like to stay a bit longer, as this was just an overnight before the Fall Foliage Half Marathon. But nevertheless we woke up feeling rested for the run and really enjoyed our brief stay.

Simple and beautiful farm setting with fire pit for the night. Woke up to beautiful views of fall foliage. Lovely hosts. Went the extra mile by delivering us coffee in the AM and giving us peppers from her garden.

We stayed for one night and didn't spend much time at the site since we were visiting our son in college nearby. But it was just what we needed! A quiet, wooded spot with a covered picnic table AND dry lean-to just the right size for our tent (made for very comfortable sleeping). George and his wife were very friendly and gave us directions to the nearby farmer's market. It's a wonderful area to visit and this campsite was a very pleasant alternative to staying in a hotel.

My 11-year-old daughter and I camped on Greg’s Cedar Lot site in our truck camper, and it was absolutely fantastic. A short path through the forest leads to a secluded, peaceful clearing with a level spot for camping, a perfectly placed fire pit, and breathtaking star-gazing at night. We added the firewood option and were impressed with the high-quality, bone-dry hardwood provided. Even with our 12.5-foot-high truck camper, the tree-lined path offered plenty of clearance. This site truly felt like a private oasis — we can’t recommend it highly enough!

Great site for a laid back weekend! Host was so kind and helpful, directions were clear, site was immaculate and includes a covered picnic table/benches, fire pit with chairs, outhouse and lean-to where games, potable water and more chairs are located. My 3P tent fit in the lean-to which I opted to set up in due to the sudden severe weather and not a drop of rain made its way inside. Plenty of places to set tents up if you'd rather sleep outside. Traffic noise was minimal and privacy screens are set up around the site. Rhinebeck is close by for trails or dining out. I was mostly here to get some quiet time with a stack of books while recovering from a back injury, but there's plenty to do on and off site as well. I'll definitely be back.

Trials were very clean and open. Took my dog there for a little truck camping excursion and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the accommodations and land. Great spot and will definitely be back!

This property was excellent! George was a very gracious host and already had some basic amenities on the propety when we arrived.
Plenty of trees for hammocks, a spacious fire pit, and very peaceful at night. It's a great escape.

My stay at Isaac's property was wonderful! He was very communicative. Gave recommendations on where to set up camp, gave detailed instructions and checked in. He offered us water from his well. I brought my dogs and it was wonderful to just let them run wild and not have to worry about any cars or any other groups of people. Will definitely be back again!

The site is near the host’s house, but there’s enough distance and privacy screens to make it private. Host George was super nice and gave clear instructions quickly. It’s a very organized, quiet, and peaceful campsite. I’ll definitely come back.

Nice clean space. The site had fire pit, lean-to and far enough space to pitch in tent on ground. The host was very kind, and easy to communicate with and helped us with fire starter. There was fresh water to drink, and provided us with basic necessities. Definitely recommend.
