Go offline for a great visit to this exclusive camp located in the Western Catskill Mountains of Upstate New York. Follow the short walking trail down the steps from the parking area where you will find multiple great locations to set up along our private brook nestled amongst the Hemlock trees. Whether it's just you, a family or a larger camping party we are sure you will enjoy your stay. To make your stay as memorable as possible we have provided camp with plenty of space to choose a great tent site, a small platform that will fit a standard tent or can be used as needed, a fire pit for campfires or cooking, rustic seating, a picnic table, portable drinking water, BBQ grill, trash removal and a composting toilet. There is plenty to do and see right here at camp from all nature has to offer with its pure beauty and wildlife. Feel free to stroll down the banks of the brook or just splash in the water. Looking for more water fun? Our brook feeds directly into the East Branch of the Delaware River just downstream. Perhaps try your luck with a fishing pole and catch some brook trout (NYS Fishing Permit required). Looking for more adventure to experience. We are located just minutes from both the East and West Branches of the Delaware River where you can canoe, fish, swim or nature watch. Just minutes away is Bear Spring Mountain State Park which offers multi-use trails, swimming pond and boat rentals. Locally you will find multiple covered bridges, local breweries, hiking trails, waterfalls, antiques, shops, restaurants, and more. Pets are welcome! Please be sure your pet is on a leash at all times! We have our own pets and nature has provided a multitude of wild animals that your pet could come in contact with and we would hate to have anything happen to any of them. Guests are responsible for providing their own tents, bedding and food. Roadside parking is available near the campsite and can hold up to 5 vehicles with more parking available at the main house if needed (please ask in advance).Go offline for a great visit to this exclusive private camp located in the Western Catskill Mountains of Upstate New York.
