Our second time staying here. They thought of every need and the accommodations we're great. The weather was beautiful and the water was refreshing.

Paula and Bill were very generous hosts! They made sure we had the supplies we needed and told us about the history of the land we were staying on. We were a group of 7 people and very comfortably camped for two nights, spending most of our time by the creek. Thank you again Paula and Bill!

Lovely site above the river with trails leading down. Very private, though East camp is closer to neighbors. Not luxury camping but a very good campsite with most of what you need. We were there for the hottest days of the summer (temp hit 100) and the site was the coolest place to be, shady but still caught the breeze. The massive thunderstorms, and the tent and other tarped areas held up well. Overall a very positive experience despite less than ideal conditions.

This was such an amazing campsite and we had the best time during our stay. Paula and Bill are so kind and welcoming and do such a good job to set up the campsite with everything you could need. The spot was so shady so even in the hot sun it was comfortable, total privacy, and a nice walk down to the swimming hole. Would definitely stay here again!

Me and my husband an amazing night at this campsite! Paula has thought of everything which made a quick camping trip so easy and relaxing. Would highly recommend and look forward to going back with our son and friends (there’s a whole other tent setup with air mattresses)!

Our family had a great time! Beautiful site, lots of privacy, and it had everything we needed. The tents were big and comfortable, plenty of firewood and water, and the kitchen was stocked with all the essentials. We had fun hiking and swimming in the creek. We’d definitely stay here again.

If your looking for seclusion with quick river access, surprisingly good reception to listen to tunes on Bluetooth and a site where you barely have to bring anything as everything you’ll need or want is supplied and set up for you then you’ll find it as delightful as I did. Paula and Bill the owners are also the best, they were most helpful in supplying their input on any questions I had. Will def be back, thank you guys

We had such a great stay in the east camp. Paula and Bill really have thought of everything and made our stay stress free. There were other campers at the west site but the property is so big we never ran into them and it was like having the whole place to ourselves. Looking forward to coming back!

Lovely site, amenities, and access to the river. Paula and Bill were so nice and welcoming! I hope to come back with our friends and family when the weather is warmer and we can swim in the river.

We had an excellent time, the set up was great for us as campers without much equipment of our own. Hosts were super helpful and accommodating. Beautiful forest.

The site was so accommodated and truly had everything we needed (pots, utensils, sink and water, tent, rain cover, more) and Paula and Bill were so friendly and responsive. Very secluded and wooded and full of wildlife and birds :) Would definitely recommend and come back.

Paula and her husband are kind, thoughtful, and helpful hosts! They were very quick to respond to our messages and were incredibly accommodating. I’d forgotten to pack cooking oil and Paula was generous enough to offer some of hers. This place has everything you need! If you enjoy birding this place has a variety of birds. Also, it was so cool to hear a great horned owl in the middle of the night.
We all had so much fun at their campsite - the perfect fall getaway. We’d love to visit again in the summer so we can enjoy the swimming holes and take advantage of the hiking trails!

A wonderful weekend in the woods!

We had a wonderful time at Paula and Bill’s campsite. It’s rustic yet well stocked and maintained, with tons of walking paths and a beautiful creek where we spent the afternoon skipping rocks. Bill brought us fresh water and firewood (along with some lovely conversation), and even when a nor’easter rolled through on our final night, we stayed warm and dry in our tent. Paula was so easy to get in touch with and they were flexible with our arrival time coming from NYC. The land they are on is truly stunning and they really care for it with such love.
Our six-year-old had the best time and now wishes we could camp there every weekend!
We also spent part of one of our days at Kesicke Farm, where he played in the corn maze, fed the animals, and just had an absolute blast. Mighty Donuts was also amazing and a great spot for kids, and Red Hook diner on our way out was just exactly what we needed.
Overall, our experience was fantastic, and we would love to come back again!

This campsite was so great. We loved the kitchen set up, and all of the supplies they have ready for you! The tent was cozy, and the stove in there helped a ton. We can’t wait to come back! Definitely would recommend trying it out!

We had a great weekend at the campsite. Their attention to detail was incredible. You really had everything we needed to enjoy the weekend. The trails for hiking on the property very well maintained. I am definitely coming back next spring.

Well equipped campsite with swimming and fishing just down the hill. Very dog-friendly. Hosts were great and we would definitely stay here again.

This was a great site. Well-stocked with necessities, but rustic and isolated enough that you really enjoy your time with the surrounding nature and stream. Existing tents were very comfortable. And Paula and Bill were very attentive and made sure we had the water we needed. They were hands off allowing us to enjoy the stay, but attentive and quick when we needed something.

This campsite was a five star experience from start to finish! Paula and Bill were very accommodating for our last minute visit when a previous reservation was canceled due to a site error. The amenities and service are above and beyond—all the firewood you could ever need, an ice chest (with complimentary ice refills!), water and camp showers (restocked daily), a wood stove in the tent for chilly nights as well as a mattress and pillows, propane and charcoal grills for anyone who prefers that to a campfire, the list goes on and on! The proximity to the river is a huge luxury, just be aware the path down is steep. We wouldn’t change a thing about our time here and are definitely dreaming of coming back the next chance we get- possibly with friends since there’s a spare tent with air mattresses!

Paula gave us very detailed instructions from the point of booking. She was responsive whenever we reached out to her for things and her husband Bill gave us a great tour. We were able to capture some crawfish and swim in the stream that takes about 5-10 minutes of walking. The water was very clean. Everything we needed was pretty much there except for the food (obviously). You would need to bring plates, utensils, and cups. The dogs loved it there!

The campsite was so clean and well maintained. We would highly recommend staying and we will definitely be back. Paula is very responsive and answered our questions promptly. 10/10, will stay again!

We just had our second visit to Paula’s campsite and had a great time. It’s very secluded and quiet. They’ve got a ton of camping gear set up already, so we don’t need to haul all of our equipment. It’s a very short walk down to the creek where we went swimming each day, and there are plenty of walking trails on site. Practically unlimited firewood and water too. We’ll definitely be back!

Everything was well tended. They were very welcoming and helpful with any needs we had. Our campsite was outfitted nicely with all the camping amenities we could need and has a great hiking trail & river access.
