Learn more about this land: We have 131 acres of land within the catskill park forest. magical. There are three wide trails on the property which campers can access representing three different hike levels. There are no designated areas for you to set up, you choose where you like to set up and most have usually chosen clearings along the trails. You will find some springs (still bring your own water as we have no control over them), unbelievable plant species, deer, wild turkey, chipmunks, can spot bald eagles and many birds. There are also black bears in the area though we have only spotted them once so be careful and do not leave food out, please. The southern part of our land borders a river, which can be accessed via a moderately steep hike (no proper trail to go down) that many campers have said is not a big deal but there are other ways to legally access the river. we can tell you more about it and send you a manual and trail map once you book. Firewood is only available upon confirming with us first and there is a fee.
