The people of Ulster County and those who visit have a long history of enjoying the great outdoors and we bought this property to do just that! The property has many interesting aspects including great views, old stone walls, old building foundations, and lots of wildlife. The babbling Brandy Brook runs along the edge of the property and though shallow is ready to dip your toes into. We have cleared multiple trails and they are ready for you to explore.  Local legend says that Mr. Dowe himself lived and farmed here and even had a small distillery on the property. My husband Andrew and I hail from Brooklyn NY and split our time between the city and the beautiful Catskills. Learn more about this land: 100 secluded acres in the Catskills will be at your disposal at our Brandy Brook Pines campsites! We are located in the Rondout Valley nestled between the Catskill Mountains and the Shawangunk Mountains. Our property has great views, hiking trails, and a serene and babbling brook you can explore or lounge near with a good book! We currently have one camp site available located in the open field/yard on our property and comes complete with a private large fire pit. Campers are welcome to camp up near the fire pit or down below in the yard under the trees. We are a short drive away from the towns of Ellenville and Kerhonkson as well as popular hiking and climbing areas in and around Minnewaska State Park. Campers will have access to the basement bathroom inside the house as needed. We will provide garbage bags/bins to campers and ask that all campers practice leave no trace (LNT) principles! We look forward to hosting you. Important update as of May 2021: We are in the process of constructing a pond so there is some disturbed land on the property, as you will be able to tell from some of the photos. Unfortunately for the time being the impeccable views are a bit different and anywhere where you can see disturbed land is off limits to our Hipcampers, their guests, and pets.

Windy Weekend
Great site, with incredible mountain views. We relaxed and enjoyed watching the wildlife and listening to the wind in the trees. A truly peaceful campsite. Great hosts that checked in with us but gave us plenty of privacy.

Emily's property is gorgeous! There is a beautiful lawn, woods and a giant fire pit that sits atop a slight hill where you can hang out and stare into the distant mountains all day. The grounds are well kept with many trails to explore. We were blessed with spring-like weather in December but by night it had quickly turned rainy and windy - stop we had a great time. Emily is quick at responding to messages and was in constant contact with us when that windy weather knocked the power out in the area. Oh yeah! And the bathroom with flushable toilet was clutch - that little bit of luxury was awesome. I'd love to come back one day with calmer weather or during the fall to bathe in glorious foliage.

Great spot
Such a beautiful and serene camping spot. We had such a great time and will most definitely be back. Emily was great regarding all communication. Farmers markets and wineries are close within driving distance as well as gas stations for firewood and water. Lots to do and wish we could have stayed longer.
