Camping at Jennifer's farm offers a unique blend of rustic charm and farm life interaction. Guests appreciate the secluded and beautiful campsite by the stream, enriched by the presence of farm animals, which adds an engaging aspect to the stay. However, some campers have noted the lack of amenities such as proper lighting, maintained paths, and clean facilities, which might not suit everyone looking for a more conventional camping experience. The host, Jennifer, is frequently praised for her friendliness and willingness to assist, making the stay more enjoyable despite the rugged conditions.

Bring muck boots

Tent

Jennifer and her farm animals definitely steal the show, she's a very nice person who we enjoyed talking with. I admire her for what she's doing there on the farm, and my experiences with her horses help justify the cost. However... Only stay here if you bring muck boots, bug spray, and you truly love roughing it off-grid. The site is deep woods, overgrown fields & woods to get there, thru the actual barnyard where there's unavoidable poop and mud everywhere. You're entrusted to operate McGuyver style gates for animal safety. No outside lights if you return after dark, and it's about a 5-7 min walk with slight elevation changes. I hate to say it but the front is an eyesore. I'm being brutally honest just to ensure you know what you'd be getting yourself in for. If we loved being this raw with nature, it'd be fine, and we did make the best of it, and Jennifer was indeed a gracious & helpful host.

Jennifer was such a nice and accommodating host. She gave us the full tour of her farm and was available any time to answer any questions we might have. The camp site was secluded and quiet with lots of trails to explore right on the land. Definitely will keep her in mind next time we’re in the area!

Great experience, great host!

Tent

This was a wonderful site! It is in the woods behind her farm, so you have to walk about a quarter mile to the site but it's a beautiful walk through a meadow and then some woods. There is a babbling brook right next to the site which is so peaceful. There is plenty of room for a couple of tents. And lots of flat open space. The entire site is shaded which is great. There is a field of ferns nearby if you want some sun you can put your chair there and read. There's a fire pit as well which is huge and great for sitting around at night. The one thing there is not is a table, so I recommend bringing your own folding/camping table and chairs. You will need bug spray, but not any more than any other camping site in New York state. I would say this is "dispersed plus" camping 😊 Jennifer is one of the best hosts I have ever met! She's very communicative and will help transport all of your stuff to the campsite on her tractor. She is a wonderful giving person and will go out of her way to make sure you have what you need. Getting to meet all the farm animals is awesome, they are so cute! I highly recommend going for the farm fresh eggs.

We had such a great time on Jennifer’s land! The campsite was beautiful, secluded, and right on a stream, with fantastic hiking just 15 minutes away by car. We also loved meeting the animals (especially the baby lambs 🥹) and chatting with Jennifer, who was such a generous host! 100% would stay again.
