Site 3 High Meadow
Best for people w/ very little gear
I want to start off by saying how incredibly nice the hosts are to their guests. The sites are all really remote (except for the pond site) so if you’re looking for privacy, this is a great place to camp! The grounds are absolutely beautiful. We arrived in the evening and couldn’t find our site so we stayed at site #2. The map could be better. I would also recommend they put up signage. I did eventually find site 3 the next day after 2 attempts. There are multiple trails off the main trail and nothing is marked. The only obvious sites are the pond site (super cute but very close to the house and everyone has to walk by your site), site #2, and the A frame. After the pond site, it becomes increasingly hilly. If you have a lot of gear, as we did, I would not recommend anything past site #2. That said, we later learned that Michael will take your gear up and back to all the sites, for a fee. Site 3 is gorgeous. There’s a great little flat area for 2 - 3 tents and then a large, gently sloping grassy area. The only wifi is near the house, which has it’s pros and cons like everything. For example, we couldn’t play music, but then again, neither could anyone else, so it was very quiet all weekend, which was actually really nice.

Site 3 High Meadow
The Meadow site was gorgeous, well-maintained and secluded! We did a hike at the Giant Ledge trailhead nearby, taking it to Panther Mountain which had great views and was a solid 6.5+ mile hike (we diverged from the path quite a few times making it about an 8 mile hike). Once we arrived at the site, Michael was there to greet us and had carts available for the hike up. Be sure to pack light as it is mostly uphill. Worth it, if you prefer some privacy! There is firewood on the site (first one was included, the rest are $10 a bundle), but it was very nice having it right there for convenience. Be sure once you are in the meadow, to head away from the campfire to get a glimpse at the stairs. They were incredible! All in all, we had a great time and would absolutely recommend this site!

Site 1 Pond
Best place ever!!
My go to place in the Catskills. Every things is available, though most importantly it is truly secluded, quiet, and your in the middle of nature.

Site 4 Mountain Brook
Ama,ing camp sites with shower!!
The camp sites are all very pretty and well taken care off. If you camp at the most secluded one, be aware there is a 10-15 minute hike. You can borrow a cart from Michael or pay for the tractor ride. Just pack light and you'd be fine. Michael and Laura were the best host we could have asked for. Super responsive and gave us a bunch of good recommendations. 100% recommended. Also, they have fresh egg for sell which are delicious.

Site 1 Pond
Highly recommended
Fantastic camping spot, easy to find and really peaceful. The shower is fab, really hot! We chose the site nearest the parking so it is still close to the main house but still feels secluded. It has a beautiful setting on the pond with great views of the mountains. We were there mid-week so it was extra quiet. Michael was very helpful and we loved getting fresh eggs for breakfast.
