**Please confirm you have read our property description and rules before booking**
Our slice of paradise consists of 225 acres of forested land nestled in the foothills of the Catskills near Albany. We are a homestead and small campground devoted to the principles of organic farming and self-reliance. Modern agriculture and big business are unsustainable, destroying farmland at an accelerating pace. It is important for us to teach the next generation, there is an alternative. We produce much of our own food. We have friendly goats, chickens, ducks, peacocks, donkeys and horses the guests can pet and feed. There are no swimming holes on our property, but many waterfalls and swimming spots within a short drive (see list below). A quick 5 minute drive will get you to one of the best disc golf courses in the north east. For the truly adventurous, Clarksville Cave is a short drive away. Visit their website for list of proper gear and rules. We do rent some of the equipment needed.

Lake Taghkanic is a great place for both summer and winter stays, with plenty of tent campsites as well as cabins and cottages, and a variety of activities to do year round. For winter folks, there's cross-country skiing and snowmobile trails, as well as ice skating and ice fishing areas, and plenty of fire pits to warm those chilly bones. For summer lovin', there are two beaches, so if someone kicks sand in your potato salad (accidentally, of course), you can just go to another beach and pretend like it never happened. The only sleeping quarters that are on the water are some of the cottages in the West End Cottage Area, so if you're planning on playing Beach Party Bingo, plan accordingly or be willing to walk a bit from your tent or cabin.

Welcome to Hickory Hollow!
Located 7 minutes from the Town of Catskill, 25 minutes from Hudson, and just under the Catskill Mountains, Hickory Hollow is the perfect campsite to take full advantage of the Upper Hudson Valley.
There are two campsites you can chose from, both in clearings that make for great star gazing. Camp 1 is deeper into the forest taking about two minutes to walk to from the parking area. Camp site 2 is only a one minute walk but much closer to the farm. If you are coming with a dog, I would recommend staying at Camp site 1, as the farms dogs are very vocal when there are new friends in the area. Each campsite comes with a fire pit, a grate for cooking, and a picnic table.
There is parking provided and a composting outhouse. You will need to bring your own firewood, though there is plenty of available kindling.
The property is 9 acres and I encourage guests to hike down to the stream and take a walk if they feel comfortable. If not there are so many hiking/swimming options nearby and I am happy to point you in the right direction.
This property has a been a life long dream of mine, and is (in my opinion) the most beautiful place on earth. That being said there is a still a lot of work that I am doing since this is a very new endeavor. So please watch yourself if you do decide to stay. The Hollow is beautiful but also very steep, so please be careful while you walk the woods. Pets are welcome, but again, be safe. There is an abundance of wildlife in the Hollow (see if you can spot the porcupine) but that can be very distracting for dogs, so be cautious when letting them off lead.

Our focus and purpose on this land is to provide stewardship and sanctuary for the Natural world to maintain it’s own balance with minimal interference from humans.
To remain wild and free.
We are a plant, wildlife and butterfly sanctuary.
We rent the lodgings (Chalet, Cabin & Glampsite)
to support and fund the maintenance and expansion of native and pollinating species of plants, expanding the area that we steward, providing habitat and refuge for animals, insects, birds and more.
We wish to share our sacred land with people that love and respect the Earth, who wish to contribute to a conservation project through their own presence and mindfulness.
Once a RV camping park called "Thunder Hill Campground" in the late 1960's early 1970's, the land sat mostly unused for 15 years before Rachel came to steward it 20 years ago.
We are 107 acres of forest, a 9
acre lake, ponds, creeks, labyrinth, a Holistic Retreat Center & Organic Permaculture Farm at a
2000 foot elevation in the Heldeberg Mountains.
500 million years ago during the Devonian Period this was a sea, so we live in shale based mountains with lots of fossils! The Heldebergs are one of the oldest mountain ranges on earth, these mountains have been worn down to 2000 feet over time.
Native Americans lived in the area many years ago and we are quite sure this was Native American sacred ceremony land.
Hiking, canoeing, swimming and fishing (catch & release only) are available on site.
There are many places to hike in the area, an Eagle Trail
and in winter, 2 miles away, is a Nature Preserve that rents snowshoes and has
trails for snowshoeing and cross country skiing,
Very rural and private, even though we are only 25 miles SW of Albany, NY the capital of NYS, here it is quiet and peaceful.
We do have 3 very friendly dogs that will want to be your best friends. Also farm animals that you can meet.
There will be farm noises, roosters greeting the morning and various grunts and snorts... far less noise than any modern city.
Albany, along with the surrounding areas, have many events etc going on. There's hiking, biking, nature parks, horse racing, concerts, festivals and events and so much more. Links and information can be provided to campers that stay with us that are looking for entertainment & excursions.
We are near Albany, Berne, Catskill, Cairo, Cobleskill, East Durham, Greenville, Hunter, Knox, Medusa, Oak Hill, Middleburgh, Schoharie, Westerlo, Windham.

We have just added a 10*12 platform with a large cover for rainy days, the platform has a gas fireplace for cold days.

Nestled in the beautiful Helderberg Hills, our private glampsite on Cotton Hill offers the perfect blend of comfort, nature, and adventure. We provide all firewood, water, and most camp kitchen essentials, so you can arrive ready to relax and enjoy the outdoors without the extra packing or hassle.
Surrounded by 21 private acres, you’ll have access to open grassy fields, peaceful wooded trails, a meandering creek, and stunning mountain views. Spend your days fishing, swimming, creek walking, fossil hunting, hiking nearby scenic trails, or simply relaxing by the pond and soaking in the quiet beauty of nature. At night, enjoy incredible stargazing far from the city lights.
The pond features a pebble beach with gradual entry and reaches 16 feet deep in the center. Swim out to the floating dock, cast a line for largemouth bass, or enjoy the use of our canoe. (*Swimming is at your own risk, and life jackets are recommended for non-confident swimmers.)
Explore the “Fossil Creek Trail,” which winds through the woods down to a slate-bottom creek where fossils can often be found during the drier months. The cool, shaded woods are perfect for relaxing with a book, enjoying a picnic, or simply listening to the sounds of the creek.
Several mowed walking trails loop around the pond and throughout the property, giving you plenty of space to explore and unwind. During your stay, think of this land as your own private retreat — a place to disconnect, recharge, and reconnect with nature.
While the campsite feels wonderfully secluded, you’re also close to award-winning breweries and wineries, historic sites, farmers markets, restaurants, shopping, and accessible hiking trails with breathtaking views.
We can’t wait to welcome you to our little slice of heaven.

We loved camping on Jim’s land! Felt secluded, peaceful and quiet. This site is set back from the road, there’s a clean outhouse, and trails Jim has built out and maintained. A beautiful spot in the Catskills near Palenville, Catskill, Saugerties and lots of great hikes (Huckleberry Point + Plattekill Falls were awesome). Story Farms right down the road. We showed our friends from abroad their first “classic American camping experience” and Jim’s property did not disappoint. Kid friendly, as well — our toddler had lots of space to roam and play.

I had three perfect nights at Cotton Hill! The campsite had everything I needed, with many beautiful touches-- fresh flowers, s'more ingredients, cozy blankets, etc etc. I slept soundly on the comfortable bed, made simple delicious meals over the fire and the toilet was comfortable and clean! I walked around the property, swam in the pond, took day hikes, and did a tour of Hope Cavern. Mostly I stayed at the campsite soaking in the breeze and watching the clouds. The tent even withstood a sudden storm burst without a problem! Heidi was available if I needed, but I was content on my own the whole time. I highly recommend this peaceful and beautiful spot!

What a beautiful property! The ponds and the sounds of the frogs and toads were fun to hear. The path to the campsite was mowed and lined with lightning bugs (at night). I saw 2 deer in the field early morning. Singing birds bring joy to waking up and hooting owls were calming to fall asleep to. The pines 6 site was private and cozy.

My son and I loved staying at Jim’s place! He met us on arrival (we were late- my fault- sorry Jim😬) and he showed us around. We walked down a few trails- it’s perfectly forested- not too dense, there’s still a breeze- even when it was hot and humid out. Our site had the perfect blend of wooded area and natural-feeling clearing- we could throw a ball, run around, and it still felt secluded. Jim offered to take us foraging for mushrooms which I would have LOVED, but my son wanted to stay at the camp site and do the stuff a kid does when camping😈.
We had a truly incredible experience. Thank you Jim so much for being such a gracious host! Can’t wait to come back with the whole family!

I thought it was very appropriate to celebrate my 40th in a witch’s cottage and my instinct was spot on. This place was exactly what I had envisioned for the weekend.
The property is very special, it was a perfect place to sip on a slow contemplative cup of tea while admiring the surrounding garden and woods and taking in all the sounds of nature.
Caitlin and Andre are excellent hosts, they were very friendly and accessible. Andre gave my friend’s toddler a full tour of the gardens. He was delighted by the truck and sampling strawberries.
It was perfect, we hope to return to witch cottage soon. Thanks so much for hosting us!

This was my second stay at the Magic Forest Farm, with hopefully many more to follow.
There's nothing I like more than to waking up in a warmly lit forest in the Catskills to the sights and sounds of farm animals - peafowl and piggies being some of my favorites of the bunch. 🦚
I look forward to the simple yet appropriate accommodations, the colorful placards of each campsite, and the variety of options offered to guests - I would love to occupy the artist space at some point in the future.
'Til we meet again.
