Nestled in the Helderberg Hills, north of the Catskill Mountains sits a campsite on Cotton Hill. This is the perfect campsite for fishing, swimming, creek walking, fossil hunting, mountain views, star gazing, and just relaxing and enjoying the outdoors. We are close to award-winning breweries, wineries, historic sites, farmers markets, restaurants, and shopping. We have several accessible hiking trails with great views nearby. We can't wait to welcome you to our private slice of heaven.
There are 21 acres for you to discover with 10 acres in front, and 11 acres of woods with a meandering creek as the border. You can think of this land as your land for the duration of your stay. Respect the land and tent as you would your own. Squish your toes into the earth and breathe in the wild thyme-filled grassy trails. Go for a walk in the woods. Take a deep breath. Relax & recharge!
The pebble beach at the pond allows for a gradual entry and goes to 16 feet deep in the middle. Feel free to swim on out to the floating dock. We love jumping in. There are many fish in the pond, most of them are large mouth bass. You may use our canoe, but please wear a life jacket if you are not a confident swimmer. (*Swimming is at your own risk!)
The ‘Fossil Creek Trail’ leads down through the woods from the pond area to the slate bed creek. (*Please watch your footing on the trail- some is quite uneven.)
There are many amazing fossils to find if you look in the creek bed during the dry season. The woods are cooler and bug free, perfect for siting and relaxing with a book or picnic.
There are several trails that wind around the pond and then back up to the Tent.The tent can accommodate 2 adults in the queen bed comfortably, with room on either side for sleeping mats. The site is equipped with a special Camp Toilet and privacy shelter. (You decide where to put this.) There is a cooking grill/firepit, camp kitchen stocked with basic utensils and cookware. 5 Gallons of potable water will be provided for your use. Please let us know if you need more. There is also cooler available at the site if you bring your own ice. We will supply you with firewood for your stay. We also supply an additional camp tent for extra guests if needed
