Nice private campsite. The hosts are very kind and accommodating us. Water they provided us in the big tank was very helpful and enough for 2 nights camp. Highly Recommend to a couple/small family for relaxing and hiking weekend!

Great Site!!
Brian’s site was amazing, there was a great trail around the property and a nice outdoor shower. Everything was really well thought out and it was a great place for some peace and relaxation. The site was secluded and felt very private. They also went above and beyond from helping us bring gear to our site, to providing fresh spring water. Highly recommend.

Brian's land was beautiful with green forests and even trails to walk around on site! It felt incredibly secluded in the woods and Brian's cabin is on the other side of the property so it felt very private. Wonderful fire pit, great tent platform, plenty of wildlife, and a great host. Brian even got us tons of dry fire wood and a big 5 gallon jug of fresh spring water from nearby! He also helped bring our gear down from the parking area to the campsite in his gator! We loved being able to have a hot outdoor shower each night and the shower even had pretty solar night lights so we could shower at night in the dark after a long day of exploring!! There are plenty of interesting things to do and see nearby and you are just a short drive from the northern part of Catskills Park! We had fun exploring Hunter Mountain, Kaaterskill Falls, Phoenicia, Blenheim-Gilboa Reservoir, Lansing Manor, plenty of fire towers, and the Woodstock Museum all within an hours drive nearby! The valley where the site is has lovely views of green rolling farmland and mountains and we felt just far enough away from civilization but with the comforts of home. Brian and his adorable dog Sierra truly made us feel at home and he was so kind and accommodating. What a great first HipCamp experience 😁

Family weekend
Brian’s land was absolutely perfect! When we pulled up he was there to welcome us and helped bring our supplies down to the site with his gator. The site was about 3 minutes walk away from the car with the bathroom and shower located next to the car. The camp site itself was very well maintained with a fire pit, picnic table and large platform that was able to hold 2 tents with walking room around each. It was very dog friendly and my puppy loved running the trail back and forth from the site to the car. There was a bunch of firewood available as well as a 5 gallon jug of drinking water. Brian was a very welcoming host and available if needed at his cabin. This is definitely a spot my family and I would return to for another trip!

Solitude at an Enchanting Campsite
We stayed for two nights at Brian’s enchanting campsite (and this was our first HipCamp experience. Five stars all around. Brian and his pup Sierra greeted us heartily upon our arrival, and showed us to the camp site. We have a small SUV, and were able to drive to the small parking area close to the campsite. Cars with lower clearance will likely have to park further out, and Brian offered to drive us all the way there in his Gator if our car couldn’t make it. It’s about a 5 minute walk from the campsite to the facilities up near the front of the property. Once at the campsite, all you hear is the natural world around you. We wanted a quiet weekend outdoors, and this location was perfect. Make sure you stop at a gas station when you get within 15 or so miles of the site, to pick up some local firewood for the campfire (and materials for s’mores). Don’t forget extra water, as there is none at the campsite! The tent site and picnic tables have lots of foliage cover, but there is a lovely opening above the campfire pit where you can see the stars. All in all, it was a fantastically restorative weekend in the great outdoors, and we whole-heartedly recommend Brian’s site. Thanks for a fantastic getaway weekend, Brian (and Sierra)!

The location was what I needed Secluded place no service and just quiet. The location is on one of Brian's properties, You won't be able to drive up right to the lot but Brian rides you out there in his tractor if needed. and Also brings you back if needed. All in all great experience for my first hipcamp. Thank you
