Site 1 - The Pine Grove
Lovely space and host! Easy to find and beautiful view!!!
Well kept property, friendly and responsive to questions and offering support. Very close to Herkimer diamond mines, couldn’t have asked for a better stay! The view from our site at night was breathtaking

Nice site with a good view. Unfortunately the weather made for a rough night are we decided to pack up early. Would return if we camp in the area again.

Wonderful hosts!!! Great communication and very welcoming. Beautiful property and so quiet. Our kids had fun watching the birds and have our own private orchard to camp in.

Site 3 - Tucked Away
It was just remote enough but easy to get in and out of. We loved the tucked away area and the short green grass with fire pits. If we ever go back to that area we are staying again.

Loved staying at this property. Beautiful views, great host!
The site was great! Renee was very kind and accommodating. We camped in her beautiful backyard a long side her adorable farm animals. It still felt very private. Great experience.

Very kind and considerate hosts - renee & Bill were great. Renee gave us rides to Utica and the Erie Canal. Bill recorded me singing and playing my guitar and also accompanied me on his expert drums in his recording studio. Thank you very much, Bill.

Site 2 - Mid-Orchard
I had a great time! The sun covered the campsite all day so I had no problem drying out some of my gear that I let get wet. I chose some poor weather to arrive on but it wasn’t a problem, I was given the perfect amount of firewood for all my meals it was dry and sparked right up! Thank you Renee and Bill for a great weekend!
In addition to a movie like setting, there is a funky cool outhouse and a hot water outside shelter. Definitely one of the more high-end hipcamping spots.

Site 3 - Tucked Away
The site was private and level for tent camping. The hosts were kind and responsive. They offer fire wood for $5. We went Herkimer Diamonds mining and the location was convenient with stores and gas nearby.

Site 2 - Mid-Orchard
We had a very peaceful stay and the hosts are so sweet!
My friends and I went to the mines down the road and stayed at site #2 & we had a BLAST. if you’re looking for a beautiful tucked away spot then camp here, everyone is so kind and helpful. 10000x thank you’s to Renee and her family!
Renee is an excellent host! The ground was wet due to snowmelt and they helped us with bringing our gear to the site since our car couldn’t make it. A lovely spot and lovely people, highly recommended!
A lovely little spot amid rolling hills and dairy farms. Renee was very welcoming but also respected my privacy. A nice patio table and bench to cook on and watch the sun set sober the foothills of the Adirondacks.
Beautiful spot. Private and quiet. The hosts are absolutely lovely and helpful. I had a wonderful, restful stay on their land. Would definitely recommend and hope to return.
Even though we had to cut our trip short a day due to threats of severe weather we had a wondeful stay on Renee's property. We were travelling to be able to go to the Herkimer Diamond Mines, but didn't want to stay in a traditional campground because of crowds and the price. Renee's property was perfect for us being only 4 minutes away from the mines and 15 minutes away from stores and such, while still remaining private and peaceful. We had complete privacy and enough space for a larger group of 5 people with the conviniance of an electric hookup and potable water. The view was amazing, and we even got to watch the begginings of a meteor shower! We really enjoyed our stay and will definetly book again, if we ever go back! Thank you for everything!
