I highly recommend visiting Lisa and Ed, genuinely good people who take great care to ensure that you'll be comfortable and have what you need to optimize your stay. They are extremely knowledgeable about pretty much anything to do with farm living, and the horses receive amazing care.Lisa and Ed can't hide how much they love them. As far as which site to pick I walked the entire grounds and whichever site you choose is a winner, comes down to personal preference. There's no place else that can match this experience. Lisa and Ed are very responsive and have suggestions on local things to do .The reviews, all positive are a bit like pictures, they can't tell the whole story. Get here yourself and enjoy this peaceful, serene beautiful place and have this unique experience, you'll be glad you did. Don't forget all of the other things you can do to add to your experience that Lisa lists. This would be an unforgettable experience for a family with young kids. Bring a camera! Aside from the residents, the fields are visited by deer, and there are foxes, birds. There's a cabin, 2 trundle beds,folding room divider, windows all around, small sitting area with an awning in back looking into the forest .Lisa and Ed are kind, considerate and caring hosts. * Ask about buying some amazing Maple Syrup made using Ed's grandfather's recipe. You can't buy anything like it anywhere else!
Thank you Lisa and Ed for your kindness and hospitality. Enjoyed my stay, hope to be back.
Peace.

Felt like we were on a ranch! Awesome slice of paradise here. Everything we needed - porta potty, access to potable water, and the open sky. Such a unique stay and fun to talk to the owners… they have some great stories!!

Easy access with incredible views. My 5 year old and all the other kids for that matter loved camping with the horses!

Lisa and Ed’s property is as beautiful as their hospitable nature. They were so welcoming to my family and attentive to any needs we may have had. Lisa was so thoughtful in making my daughter’s birthday extra special. We were grateful to go to sleep and wake up in peaceful surroundings and welcomed the views of the horses grazing and playing in the pasture. The kids loved the turtle sanctuary and spent hours just playing in their surroundings. What a wonderful sanctuary to spend your time. I highly recommend.

HORSE CAMP HILL; Walk with horses!
The name of this Hipcamp says it all. We got to camp on a hill with horses! Unlike other hipcamps we've been to with horses, this one, you get to camp INSIDE the pasture with the horses. It was an amazing experience getting to watch the horses run and play. At one point, the horses walked up and tried to stick their heads inside our campervan to say hi and to see what we were eating for dinner. Lisa was a fantastic host. When we arrived, they showed us to our site and, later in the day, even had the horses run up to our site for some snacks. We had a fantastic time and can't wait to be able to stop here again next time we pass through the state!

HORSE CAMP HILL; Walk with horses!
What a unique experience! We were just looking for a place to camp after seeing a show at Ommegang and stumbled on this listing. We had a really short stay, but really enjoyed it. The horses were curious and fun to see. We camped on the top part of the field because we weren't sure how our little Prius would do going into the lower parts of the field. Lisa put out fresh hay to keep the horses busy when we got in late and, generally after their initial curiosity when Lisa was showing us the area to camp, they left us alone. Lisa was so kind, welcoming, and had fresh eggs for us in the morning. If we need a place to stay again we will be back. Other things to know: As the pictures show, there are so many horses! Even after seeing the photos we were surprised. Also, this is camping in the a field, so expect just that. Our stay was so short that we missed out on all of the other things Lisa had to offer, like a bonfire, seeing more of the grounds, and feeding the horses.

HORSE CAMP HILL; Walk with horses!
My family loved Ed and Lisa's place, even those of us who aren't horse people! Being in the pasture with the horses is such a unique experience! We are country people who love quiet and this was perfect. Mountains, horses in their pasture, a campfire... just beautiful. Ed and Lisa were so kind and made sure we had everything we needed. I highly recommend this place!

Camping here in our travel trailer was hands down the most unique, fun experience we’ve had yet! The horses are beautiful, and definitely curious! They will come visit, and we love horses so for us, it was a great experience. The views are amazing. Lisa and Ed were great, and we thank them for their warm hospitality! Fresh farm eggs for breakfast was the nicest surprise, and marshmallows for the kids to roast on the fire! We made fantastic life long memories here, and will definitely be back in the future!

Beyond awesome. The experience is somewhere in-between Old McDonald's Had a Farm and a weekend in Jurassic Park.
Fields, woods, user friendly wildlife. Their horses make Me Ed look like a total retard. And friendly
The hosts, Ed and Lisa are the real deal and a dying breed of farmers and ranchers. My stay made me realize that a sustainable planet is not a new idea. Traditional American agriculture . See for yourself.
Google ASIL Arabians & Araloosas for addition background info.
I'll be back as the cliche goes.

From the beginning, Lisa (the owner) had been keeping me informed on what to expect while camping at her farm. She also let us know that 2 horses would possibly give birth while we're there. With our luck, one did give birth. We didn't get to witness the birth but we got to meet the new addition to the farm the very next day.
Lisa is a great host and just wants you to have the best experience possible. The horses came and investigate who we were and when they saw we were just there to camp, they went back to their side of the field. The field is well maintained and private. Ed, showed us to different parts of the farm we can set up camp. He maintains the field and if there's anything you need, he'll go above and beyond to make it happen. The stars were beautiful the first night. Fire wood is easy to find and Ed came by with paving stones to help build a fire pit for us. They offered to put a fence around our campsite in case the horses came around. We went without it and the horses never became a problem. They're part of the landscape and beautiful to see when they graze nearby.
It rained heavily unfortunately on the second day while we were there. But we went out into Cooperstown so it wasn't such a big damper as there were a few good breweries to see nearby. Also, a gas station nearby if you need to grab some snacks or basic things. Overall a great campsite and a great experience. Primitive camping, no electricity, no running water, just a field with a beautiful view and great hospitality.
