Waterfall Sanctuary & Quiet Retreat

Middleburgh, NY · 5 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging

For generations, the majestic waterfall has been revered for its spectacular beauty. It’s considered a sacred site central to local land rematriation work with the Kanienkeha:ka. Coursing between two outcroppings in a deep ravine, the waterfall crashes down over mossy rock shelves into emerald swimming holes and through dramatic clay beds. It’s one of those extraordinary spots on earth that make you feel like you’re in another world. The sites aren’t suitable for parties or loud groups. It's about a 10 minute hike to the waterfall where you can spend the day swimming, exploring the clay beds and looking for fossils in the 280 million year old gorge. In the evening, make a campfire and fall asleep under the stars listening to the river below. The hike is steep and appropriate footwear is required. All hiking is at your own risk. Although your path to the waterfall is private and the waterfall is on private property, there may be other guests or locals that access the waterfall further down the road. There is no glass or alcohol allowed at the falls. Be aware that you may hear your camping neighbors in the woods. For this reason, we ask that you don’t play amplified music and keep noise down after 10pm to enjoy the sounds of frogs, crickets, owls, and night songs of the countryside At the entrance to the campsites there is a barn community room with a charging station, cold water sink, fridge, coffee maker, cookware, and a port-a-potty. There are 5 gallon solar shower bags that you can use at your campsite. You are responsible for filling them and putting them in the sun to heat the water. This is a leave no trace site. Take all your trash with you when you leave. Bring your own biodegradable soap for dishes and toilet paper for the port-a-potty! Firewood is available onsite for $1 per log. The Schoharie Valley is said to be the most fertile valley east of the Mississippi. It is still wild, unspoiled country and there are many local farms stands with fresh produce and organic meat close by. Within a 5 miles radius is a general store, Scrumpy Ewe Cidery, Panther Creek Arts, Rooted Movement, the Sap Bush Country Store and Café, and Mustang Valley (a wild mustang sanctuary). Nearby hikes include Looking Glass Pond and Vroman's Nose, and others.

Catskill, NY · 2 sites

Welcome to Hickory Hollow! Located 7 minutes from the Town of Catskill, 25 minutes from Hudson, and just under the Catskill Mountains, Hickory Hollow is the perfect campsite to take full advantage of the Upper Hudson Valley. There are two campsites you can chose from, both in clearings that make for great star gazing. Camp 1 is deeper into the forest taking about two minutes to walk to from the parking area. Camp site 2 is only a one minute walk but much closer to the farm. If you are coming with a dog, I would recommend staying at Camp site 1, as the farms dogs are very vocal when there are new friends in the area. Each campsite comes with a fire pit, a grate for cooking, and a picnic table. There is parking provided and a composting outhouse. You will need to bring your own firewood, though there is plenty of available kindling. The property is 9 acres and I encourage guests to hike down to the stream and take a walk if they feel comfortable. If not there are so many hiking/swimming options nearby and I am happy to point you in the right direction. This property has a been a life long dream of mine, and is (in my opinion) the most beautiful place on earth. That being said there is a still a lot of work that I am doing since this is a very new endeavor. So please watch yourself if you do decide to stay. The Hollow is beautiful but also very steep, so please be careful while you walk the woods. Pets are welcome, but again, be safe. There is an abundance of wildlife in the Hollow (see if you can spot the porcupine) but that can be very distracting for dogs, so be cautious when letting them off lead.

Primitive Camp on the Esopus Creek in the Big Indian-Oliverea Valley surrounded by seven 3500' Catskill High Peaks including Slide Mountain, the tallest in the Catskills. Our PRIVATE camp (no other campers) is situated on 100 acres of land in the middle of the Catskill State Park. We are the closest HipCamp site to Slide Mountain, the Catskills tallest peak at 4180 feet. A perfect base camp for some of the best hiking in the Catskills, the site is bordered by Forever Wild Forest and is minutes from the trailheads to Balsam, Giant Ledge, Panther, Big Indian, Slide Mountain and dozens more peaks within 30 minutes or so away. Though the base fee covers up to 4 campers, the site accommodates up to 14 campers. The additional fee is $20.00/per camper per night on top of the base fee. Our drive up camp includes a 10X12 covered tent platform, several individual tent sites with private fire rings, as well as a bunkhouse and a leanto for day use. The camp table and cook pit are covered from the elements. The camp also features the newly designed and built 'Little Bear Cabin', an 11X14 cabin that sleeps 6 with covered porch, with two Queen sized and one double bunk and comfortable 4" thick Thermarest MondoKing mattresses, chairs and a table with a wood burning stove for those chilly nights. The cabin has an additional fee of $30.00/night and can be booked in the extras section at check-out. The cabin does not include bedding so bring your own gear. If tent camping only, the cabin will remain locked and closed unless requested after arrival. For toilet use, we have a CleanWaste loo which is a 5 gal bucket in a toilet seat box. You lift the lid, place a CleanWaste bag in the bucket which has a kitty litter like powder called Poo Powder in it. You do your business, the powder absorbs all the odor and gels all the matter. When done, you lift the seat, take out the bag, tie it up and throw it in the trash. There are camp rules about how to handle trash, recycling, and compost so as to minimize the possibility of black bear visits. Follow those rules so as to avoid a penalty fees of $50.00 if trash, recycling, and compost are not followed. A detailed message about trash, recycling, and compost practice will be sent to campers days before the booked trip. Seasoned bundled 16" firewood is available by honor box cash payment on Brown rd across the camp entry road.

Delhi, NY · 5 sites · Tents, Lodging

This land was once all pasture for grazing animals. We moved to Delaware County in November 2018 to start our family and pursue dreams of working on the land. The initial idea was to find a place we could live, garden, and raise a few animals while hosting guests and sharing the land with visitors. When we found this place on Williams Road, we loved the mix of rural and proximity to a thriving country town. We now have two kids and enjoy living in Delhi so much we hardly leave the town limits! There are wonderful restaurants, a great year-round farmers market, grocery stores, and many other services and amenities you can find listed towards the end of this guide. Our Catskill Mountain home is situated on a historic early 19th century farm site. Parts of the house might be more than 190 years old! With several additions and upgrades we think the house has lots of charm and enjoy the many modern touches. The property is overgrown pastures and a few steeper slopes with medium growth trees. After the industrial period saw this region nearly deforested, the land was granted to settlers who cleared fields and planted grass. Our immediate vicinity was knows for it’s cattle (Bovina), mostly for diary, and sheep. The agriculture in Delaware County has been on a decline since the advent of rail shipping opened New York City markets to farms in less challenging geographies. Construction of the NYC fresh water system (DEP Watershed) may have contributed to this decline, but about 60-70 years ago the majority of pastures, especially less productive parcels were abandoned to the “weed trees”. These first succession trees grew quickly in the sunny meadows and covered the hills; trees such as Ash, Hawthorn, and Norway Spruce. Fences and barns were left to return to the earth. On our property the stone walls that boarder the fields are the most stark reminder of the intensive agriculture practiced here.

A great spot to come and camp high up on a hill. Pitch a tent and enjoy the solitude of camping in the middle of a hay field, under a huge oak tree. In the middle of farm country. From time to time you may smell a little cow smell or hear/see a tractor drive past.  However, there is nothing greater than the smell of fresh cut hay in the summer breeze.

Weekend Trip to Peace And Quiet in the Catskills

We had such a perfect weekend staying on James's land, visiting a nearby creek and taking a couple of James's suggestions for Greens Lake and ice cream by the water on Bridge St, which were great. The set up was wonderful with plenty of flat space for our tent, and the fire pit and picnic table within a beautiful wooded area of large trees. The sounds of crickets, frogs, cicadas, and owls was so amazing. The outhouse was clean and well taken care of. James was really welcoming and nice, and funny too! We didn't chat for too long but we would have enjoyed more conversation with him, especially to learn more about the trees and mushrooms on the property. Next time! Highly recommend this lovely spot.

3 nights at Upper Esopus Creekside Camp

Our stay on Pierre’s land was absolutely perfect. We had a group of 9 people and still had plenty room for more. Pierre was also such a great host. When we arrived it was raining pretty hard and Pierre offered us the cabin for the weekend which we gladly took advantage of. Not only that but this site is perfectly setup for rain/storm situations. We loved the coverage over the kitchen and cooking area so you can comfortably hang out or cook with the separate fire place that was under the overhang. Being on the creek was magical and lulled us to sleep every night. We also really enjoyed the peacefulness of being the only campers on the land. We got to enjoy the watering hole, which Pierre lead us to when we couldn’t find it and even gave us fresh peaches after I time in the sun and creek. We were also grateful to meet Pierre’s Maine coons! Another highlight of our stay. Overall we were very happy with our creekside campsite and will be looking forward to coming back next year. Thanks Pierre!

Weekend Trip to Locust Grove Waterfall

The site was so beautiful. The water was pristine! Quiet. It was everything we wanted. The layout with the other tents is crazy! I wish my daughters wanted to go! It was like a tent town! Thankful that they can't be rented out while we were there. Provides the privacy and stillness we prefer. The wagon accommodation is key. Electric in the tent was very helpful for my old phone and keeping the music going. Highly recommend! Maybe next year I can convince the family to come! Lol

Weekend Trip to Upper Esopus Creekside Camp

This is a pretty ideal place for a group who love to cook and hang out outdoors. The new cabin is super cute and comfy and Pierre is an awesome host. I would totally recommend this spot to anyone looking for a rustic getaway with some light accomadations.

3 nights at Balsam Gleann Meadows

I’m reluctant to recommend this place because I just want to keep this secret, incredible piece of paradise to myself. The privacy, views, and land transport you to another dimension. We had an incredible stay, will definitely be back. Keep in mind you need to store your trash in the car (bears) so bring thick bags, as well as a bear horn for peace of mind. The owners are kind and friendly people who really take care of the land. If you’re lucky enough to stay here, please treat it with the same care and respect.

3 nights at Locust Grove Waterfall

A beautiful, private retreat that is well-kept and inviting. We mostly go camping for Henry … Monica’s site is Henry approved. Oh, the private waterfall with the cleanest water, providing white noise capabilities at all times? 10/10. It was just us two & the pup occupying the main tent, but I can see how this would be an amazing option for a group of friends. Thank you!

1 night at Big Indian Wilderness Paradise

What a perfect site! It’s secluded and equipped. The creek is crisp and cold, perfect for exploring. So many birds and deer passed by! I will be back.

the waterfall. The eye of water at the base of the falls is about 7' deep. The big pool is 3-5 feet deep. There are other swimming holes along the river as well as native clay beds for purification masks or making little figures you can bake in the campfire.

Had such a sweet time at Michael and Laura’s place! We arrived in the rain and were greeted right away with all the details of the site. Their site is a beautiful space and I can’t wait to come back:)

My husband and daughter and I absolutely loved staying here, the space was beautiful and private, the short walk to the creek was amazing for our 2.5 year old. We spent hours at the creek enjoying the sound of the water. Thank you so much we will be back next year!!
