Such an amazing camp! Six sites to choose from, varying in distance from the indoor bathroom. Unlimited firewood, friendly pups, and brilliant nature. Mike was friendly and accommodating. Each site has a fire pit, chairs, tables, picnic table, and a charcoal grill. Only downside was having to carry all of our things to the site (we had a lot of things) but Mike said he's working on a drive in site. Would highly recommend!

Blue Wind Nature Camp
We loved our weekend in the Catskills! No one else was camping the weekend we went, so we had the pick of the campsites and we loved our site. The land is close to town which was so convenient when it was colder at night than expected and we needed to buy a heavier sleeping bag. It was gloomy and rainy a lot of the weekend, so we didn’t get to use the campfire at the site but Mike supplies firewood which would have been awesome if we could have got a fire going. Awesome and private campsites, plus our dog loved exploring and meeting Mike’s very sweet border collies.

We loved tent camping at Blue Wind Nature Camp. Mikes a great host! We chose the further campsite with a clearing surrounded by trees. Beautiful site to wake up in. The indoor shower, toilet and sink was amazing! Highly recommend. Oh! And my 3 boys adored the cats and pups and I loved the chickens.

This was my second time staying at Blue Wind with a large group of friends and we loved it! We got hit with some pretty rainy/muddy weather and still had a great time. Mike provided lots of free firewood and made an effort to keep it dry for us. He was very accommodating and the indoor restroom/hot shower was especially appreciated during the rain. The campsite itself was very private but nearby great stores and hikes.

Beautiful and peaceful piece of land high atop a mountain. Mike was very friendly and helpful and showed us around, took care of trash, and even gave us some fire lighter to use. There was also wood available on a donation basis.
The different locations are spaced pretty far from each other so you really feel like you're alone in nature. Chirping birds and insects all around. Our dog was very happy to roam around off leash. Pitch darkness at night and not a light to be seen, at some of the deeper camp sites. Very wild feeling, but not unsafe.
Depending on the site you choose, it can be a fair walk from the car, bathroom and washing area, but not huge, and there was a wheelbarrow for transporting things. Also you'll need to store your food in your car at night so factor that into your choice of location. There was some muddy patches in certain parts of the paths, but we went in May so there had been some rain. Good shoes are recommended.
The town with supermarket, gas and various other stores (including camping supplies) is less than 5 mins drive down the hill, so very convenient.
Would definitely visit again. :)

Mike spot is amazing! Tucked away in the woods with plenty of room to explore- while still having some creature comforts- a perfect place to get away!

Awesome hidden gem! It’s not a drive up location so bring a wagon for your stuff the trails are nice Mike is awesome! Great campsites and I like the way he has some close medium distance and far for some more seclusion. Beautiful meditation area that he built himself and a great place for bringing your dog, mine absolutely loved it there.

Awesome location with many different campsites for different size groups. The host Mike had tons of animals (dogs, cats, and chickens) and we got an awesome tour with Dallas the cute young puppy. This site is great for all age groups but will be great for kids!

Mike was a great host! He has the cutest puppy while we were there and very friendly cats and dogs. The sites were all very nice and the land was very big and fun to explore. Our dogs really enjoyed swimming in the pond and exploring the medow

Blue Wind Nature Camp
We loved the chickens and the cats, and it was nice having a real bathroom available. It was also really great having tables and chairs supplied at each site.
I wish it had been made more clear in the listing that you had to walk in to all the sites, we would have packed a bit differently. Also worth noting that the map that'd included in the photos gives the idea there is a bit more to see/do at the site than is really the case.

Mike’s land is beautiful. His sites are quiet, private, and well-organized with hand-built fire circles, handmade benches, picnic tables, grill, firewood stand. He was building a meditation garden while we were there. There are amazing trees on the property. Mike was helpful and kind and gave us good local recommendations. He has firewood by donation and wheelbarrows to cart your stuff in. Hot shower and real bathroom, an outdoor sick and kitchen if you need it.
Each site we saw had multiple tent areas all nicely away from each other. There were only two of us, but we usually camp in small groups, so this was good to see. I suspect we’ll come back with others.
The weather was very hot and humid, but our campsite was 10-15 degrees cooler due to the lovely tree canopy.
Swimming holes, rivers, lakes, parks, and hikes near by. A cute town, Livingston Manor, with a great old fashioned local supermarket, as well as restaurants and shops. Design shops, bookstores, kid’s shop with art & craft supplies, art galleries, retro used shops — good browsing to be had. Two breweries nearby. Some of the town might be called a bit “hickster”-ish, but that is to be expected in the Catskills. (One shop had a baseball hat with that word on it. lol.) There’s something for everyone to like here.

We enjoyed our camping trip Blue Wind Nature Camp! We chose the closest site, a short walk from the parking lot. The camp site was spacious, with plenty of room for our family’s tent and our friends’ tent. Fire pit, grill, tongs, picnic tables, and benches were all provided. The trees kept the site well shaded. The field by the lodge provided a great spot for star-gazing. The kids loved the tire swing and low ropes course, and most of all, they loved meeting the sweet dog, kitty and her kittens, and the four chickens.

Mike is wonderful! He was there for us from beginning till end, with help for whatever we needed. He gave us a walking/hiking tour around the grounds taking us to the pond, creek, natural playground and more. He even provided hay to lay underneath the tents! The bathroom and shower were very clean and tidy. The site was well secluded, surrounded by woods. Very serene. And the fire pit was super cozy! Our camping trip was incredible!

We had a great time at Blue Wind Nature Camp! The property is quite beautiful and there are lots of trails to be explored. We brought our dog, and he had a great time exploring the woods off leash.
Mike was very responsive and hospitable during our stay. We needed a grill for cooking over the fire, and he was very quick to find one on the property and bring it to our site.
I highly recommend this camp, and we hope to be back soon!

Blue Wind Nature Camp
Mike was a great host. There were plenty of campsites to choose from, but they were distant enough to have some privacy. The set up of the sites anf the easy access was a plus. The kids had a blast with all the animals (chickens, dogs, kittens).

Mike was very hospitable. we were a family of 4 + dog. We had a nice site closest to the parking area but was able to pull in closer to the camp site to unload as we brought so much gear. This was hugely beneficial (thank you!). We also had access to fire wood, which was very convenient. The bathroom was great to have - just for a real toilet access, we didn't use the shower. There is also a hose and wash station on the deck for potable water or just to wash up. We explored the 50-acre property which is dense and spotted some deer (no hunting). It was buggy but not terrible, just bring repellent. The area had decent flat areas to pitch a tent. The general surrounding area is really nice, and you're close to the nearby town if you need supplies (we didn't need to venture out). Mike has two dogs (very friendly / entertaining and loved to play frisbee and ball) and beautiful chickens! My dog is a bit old and didn't realize the chickens were close but just make sure to take care if you have a dog with you as the chickens are free range and will likely wander close to site. We will definitely return.

Mike’s land is beautiful. My family and I particularly enjoyed the tall trees and ambience of the woods. Mike was a very kind host and was readily available to answer any questions I had during our stay. Even though we had some rainfall it was still fun and the rain was great ambience when sleeping. I would definitely recommend this sweet spot to anyone who wants to camp in a woodsy area.

Blue Wind Nature Camp
We've camped a decent amount, from national parks to hipcamp, Mike's is one of my favorite spots. Highlights: forest setting, free firewood, not far from town, hiking, and fishing. Lovely bonus, Mike is a good guy.
The site we chose required some schlepping of supplies. Far enough to feel private but not so far that I was grumpy. All sites I saw all had a slew of conveniences- stone fire pit, grate, charcoal grill, picnic table, camping chairs, metal can with lid for trash. Our spot also had a clean and empty cooler, a prep table near the grill, and tongs. On top of this, Mike keeps an indoor bathroom accessible(including TP & soap), a full supply of additional dry firewood (including a wheelbarrow & splitter), and an outdoor prep kitchen(including a sponge & dish soap). Seriously, I don't know what more I could want.
The location was quiet at night with fabulous stars when the clouds stayed away. The sites were clear and the tent ground was soft. Fishing is ample in the area (Trout Town USA) and it's a short drive to Livingston Manor and Roscoe. Both towns have some great food, shops, and breweries. Hiking is so accessible and it was lovely just to explore the woods around the camp.
Genuinely, this spot is amazing. You should just go ahead and book already.

Mike was such a great host. Beautiful land with a ton of gear already setup at each site. Free fire wood and secluded sites. Chickens roaming freely and two friendly dogs that love to play frisbee! Would definitely stay here again! Thanks, Mike!!

Mike has a great property that has so much to offer. His sites are spaced out nicely and are set up with a large firepit and plenty of seating arrangements - He was extremely helpful and was more willing to provide anything that we might’ve forgotten. Not to mention his dogs were awesome! Highly recommend!
