Waterfall Paradise, Walk to River
Had an amazing camping trip with my four lifelong friends and my two boys—great mix of old memories and new ones. We hiked to waterfalls, played games by the fire, and soaked in the fall scenery along the river. The cabin was simple but perfect, and the best part was watching my kids jump right in with the crew, making it feel like the traditions we started as kids are carrying on to the next generation.

The campsite was absolutely amazing!! It was a beautiful site and you could hear the running water all night. Everything was very clean and the site had everything we needed. We will definitely be going back!

Waterfall Paradise, Walk to River
We had such a lovely time here. Waterfalls galore! We did an overnight since we are total amateur campers but with the stay it was wonderful. We did this with our 7yo and 4yo and even took multiple dips in the waterfalls (mid-September). The water was cold but completely invigorating. The scene was very tranquil, peaceful and just secluded enough for us city dwellers! Including the waterfall right on premises, we were able to experience a total of 4 tremendous falls and the gorgeous Mongaup river. There was beautiful plant life along the walks surrounding the campsite. What a great hidden gem! Would totally go again.

Clearing Farm is a beautiful place! Loved having the water features so close. The site is very well kept and very private. Would absolutely stay here again

This place was fantastic! My group and I had the best time with being able to hike, camp, swim and play football. Also we had good use of our porta-pottie/bathroom close to our site and had a shed where we could keep our items dry if it rained. I highly recommend to anyone and we are definitely coming back again next year!

Everything we needed was right at hand and it was amazing to wander the waterfalls without having to get in a car. When we did get in the car, the River walk less than 10 min away, we relaxing and beautiful. Circle Park is 15 min away and it’s a great place for kids to run free. Can’t wait to come back and explore more!

We had an amazing time with our dog and two little kids, sitting around the firepit and playing in the amazing - and very kid-friendly - waterfalls! Would definitely recommend!

This will be a long review for those who care, but for those who just want to know if it's worth it, please book it! This place is absolutely amazing.
We booked this excited to utilize the thermal hot spring, however, it is under repair until next year. Despite being back and forth, deciding whether or not it was still worth it, we decided to stick with it, and I'm so glad we did. The property is huge and pretty easy to navigate. You can drive your cars right up to the site for convenience! The cabin is clean and basic with just a bed and a table. 5 of us were able to fit comfortably in the cabin 2 on the bed and 3 on the floor (we did have a surprisingly cool day in august [high of 80*]). The site has all the basics and everything you need for a comfortable trip. They give you a large cooler of water, a lighter, an axe, and there's a clean porta-potty on site.
The true appeal of this site is the water surrounding the property. There's a large stream that sits behind the cabin. That itself has areas to sit and cool off, small waterfalls, and the hosts have even created their own shower from the water running down the stream. But if you follow the path outline by the owner you'll come across an even bigger waterfall at the bottom and access to the Mongaup River. The whole area is breathtaking and we had the BEST time. Thanks to Jenna for hosting and creating such a beautiful space. We'll absolutely be back!!

What a campsite! 100% recommend. We had the absolute best time disconnecting and decompressing, surrounded by trees and the gentle sound of flowing water. The swimming right on-site kept both us and our pup cool and happy, and the outdoor shower setup was such a thoughtful touch. The host was incredibly accommodating—easy to communicate with and even had a fire going when we arrived. Such a peaceful, well-cared-for spot. Only wish we could’ve stayed longer. We’ll definitely be back!

What a great spot! The site was perfect for our group and the rushing waterfall was such a unique part of the experience! I will definitely be coming back and would highly recommend Jenna's place and their hospitality!

The stream was nice, outhouse / porta potty was clean, and cabin was habitable. Downside - we could hear traffic most of the day and into the night. While the site was mostly surrounded by trees, it was still close enough to a busy road so we could hear car music playing as they drove by or tractor trailers at 2 AM. The walk to the large waterfall was nice, although not well marked or maintained. The area around the stream by our site- one side was not maintained so the bridge and sitting area was sill of broken branches and cobwebs. The other side was at the bottom of a steep hill, also not maintained that well. I think the pictures of the site and what it actually looks like is really misleading. Unfortunately we were disappointed with the trip.

Awesome site! It was pretty hot the whole time we were there, the waterfalls were absolutely perfect to cool off. Host gave us plenty of suggestions for food and places to check out. Plenty of open space, our dog loved it. Definitely recommend staying here.

Such an awesome site. Even with a few renovations such as the outhouse (replaced with outdoor porter potty) and the thermal spring, there was still so much to do. Jenna was an incredible and responsive host! Awesome for a small family getaway.

What a magical experience from the booking, communication with Jenna and stay! 5 stars for sure. We felt we were in a fantasy movie set :) The kids loved it. The eggs Jenna left us from the farm were delicious and Im so thankful she was so kind with all the questions I had. All the best! We’ll be back!

Everything about this site was perfect. Clear directions, communicative host, well maintained property. SO lush with flora and fauna and the sound of the stream was the peace I needed for my retreat. I really appreciated the clearly marked paths and sites. I can’t wait to come back!!

We loved our stay!! The site felt very private, (without feeling too isolated). The waterfalls were very peaceful. We loved the thermal baths and would recommend it to anyone! We took a short hike nearby, but spent most of the time just enjoying the quiet and natural beauty

What an amazing campsite! We went with our baby and friends. This was our first time camping with our baby. The shelter was able to fit our pack n play which was very helpful. The whole area was so beautiful and the campsite was well-equipped, I highly recommend checking out the hiking trails that are on/connect to the property. They don’t seem to appear on AllTrails so just follow the signs. There were stunning waterfalls and views of the river. Highly recommend!
