I loved camping on Justin’s land! Very clear directions and great views. A quick walk to the well marked trails of the plotter kill reserve, with beautiful waterfalls. This site is only a few miles from the Empire State trail as I came by bicycle. Justin reached out early letting me know temperatures were going to be near freezing and had a portable propane space heater ready to go. Great stay!

Hilltop Cove Popup Camper
It was very nice staying at the hilltop pop-up trailer site. It's nestled next to a lovely wooded area with a beautiful view looking across the large meadow on a hill. It's situated perfectly for enjoying the sunset while eating dinner. Justin has set the area up very nicely with a table and chairs, and a place for a campfire. He generously keeps a stack of firewood available for his guests. As it turned out, I stayed here on a quite chilly late October night. Justin graciously provided a heater and several propane canisters. It was still a little too cold for me, but the extra sleeping bags in the trailer made it more comfortable. I think this would be a perfect place to camp in weather that wasn't in the low 30's or colder at night. It is a sweet place for a family or a group of friends to stay at for a couple of days. There are really nice trails to hike right across the road. My dog and I had a nice walk before settling in for the evening. Justin is a great host, and was very proactive and responsive in our communications.

The simple tent trailer is a good spot to crash while exploring the surrounding area. It is on the edge of a field so not much privacy. Justin was great at communicating.
