Wooded Waterfall Campsite
Unbeatable for the price
Visited for the solar eclipse and despite the rainy weather was absolutely worth it. Robert’s little spot is lovely, it sits right at the edge of a big ravine and borders state forest land with a ton of natural space to explore right outside the campground itself. Robert has done an excellent job with the facilities, the site has the cleanest pit toilet I’ve ever seen. He is a communicative host who proactively told me about a road closure, saving me a ton of headache on the way there. I would strongly recommend booking here! Just a couple of things I would keep in mind: if you’re tent camping like I was the ground is kind of rocky as it is in the mountains, so I would use heavy duty stakes. Also, while it is secluded there is a house on the other side of the ravine so you may not want to engage in any activities you wouldn’t want them to see. Also make sure you remember where the ravine is, especially if you come in at night like I did, it’s quite the drop! Otherwise it is basically a perfect camp site for the area and I would come back if I was in the neighborhood in a heart beat!

Hidden Gem
What a gem! This site is secluded and quiet, just what we were looking for. We were shown where to park and got our 20ft hybrid camper back in there with ease. Thank you for opening up your beautiful property for us to use!

We had an excellent time staying here. We could not have asked for a better site or host. He was especially helpful and very responsive to messages. We would definitely stay here again if we're ever in the area again in the future.

Van Camping Experience
Very nice private site with high-quality wooden furniture around the fire pit and a nice big table for meal prepping, etc. I really enjoyed my stay and felt relaxed in the beautiful woods. It's a nice level site with a higher end outhouse close by. Bob provided enough firewood for the 2 nights I was there so that was a bonus. Highly recommend to anyone looking to explore the Hemlock/Canadice area.
