**Please confirm you have read our property description and rules before booking** Our slice of paradise consists of 225 acres of forested land nestled in the foothills of the Catskills near Albany. We are a homestead and small campground devoted to the principles of organic farming and self-reliance. Modern agriculture and big business are unsustainable, destroying farmland at an accelerating pace. It is important for us to teach the next generation, there is an alternative. We produce much of our own food. We have friendly goats, chickens, ducks, peacocks, donkeys and horses the guests can pet and feed. There are no swimming holes on our property, but many waterfalls and swimming spots within a short drive (see list below). A quick 5 minute drive will get you to one of the best disc golf courses in the north east. For the truly adventurous, Clarksville Cave is a short drive away. Visit their website for list of proper gear and rules. We do rent some of the equipment needed.

Site 2 - Magic Forest Farm Camp
This was my second time staying at this campground and I really love it. The access to amenities is clear and the animals by the water make it exciting to hang out.

Silent forests AND great wi fi!
I loved tent camping on Joan's land! Sites were quiet and private; owners were easily accessible and accommodating; and my daughter and I loved seeing the baby peacocks and all the animals. Many great hiking trails right there, and Thacher Park (Indian Ladder Trail) was a 13 minute drive away. Wi fi worked at our tent site. Note that there is only one water supply at the entrance and no electricity at the site.

Site 2 - Magic Forest Farm Camp
Perfect Overnight Getaway
My wife and I stayed with our 1-yr old for her first camping experience and are glad we picked this site. It had privacy, plenty of space for tent(s) & canopies, and felt like we were isolated in the woods. We didn't explore too much other than to go see the animals. I would definitely recommend this site and would suggest using an all-terrain vehicle as there is a little off-roading to this site. Thanks to the host for being prompt in messages as well!
