Well off the beaten track, it's scenic, private and peaceful. Camping at Moon In The Pond Farm is a bit of heaven.
There are separate sites to choose. Around the farm, you have your own secluded spot to enjoy. (Though you may be in a field next to our Scottish Highland cattle!) Two are tent sites: the PondSide and the FieldEdge. There's one site for small/tiny RVs or Campervan. And finally there's the HiddenCabin--a bed a roof and convenience. Each has a firepit with a small grill to cook over the fire. (all firewood provided)
Our campsites are in quieter areas of the farm. One overlooks the pond, others are on the edges of different farm fields, one a cabin nearer the farmstead. All require a beautiful, bucolic trek of 150-350 yards from the roadside parking--ensuring the quiet, natural experience. During the day times, you may see or hear farm work. At night it's lusciously dark and serenely quiet. You'll hear owls hoot, frogs croak, crickets chirp, foxes yowl and coyotes howl! In June and July the fields and trees light up like Christmas with fireflies, and you'll see the stars.
During the week is the absolute best time--the local hot spots (or cooling down spots!) are much quieter, and all our campsites have reduced weekday rates. If you can, take advantage by adding a Thursday or Sunday night to a weekend stay.
We've got an awesome, easy hiking trail on adjacent Nature Conservancy land. It meanders through woodlands, around rock ledges, through wetlands (on a 600' of boardwalk) and ends at a beautiful stream and pond with a gigantic beaver dam.
Not far from here are numerous well-marked hiking trails (including the Appalachian Trail (with famous Bash Bish Falls) and several offshoots (Sage's Ravine, Race Brook Falls), Bartholomew's Cobble, Umpacheenee Falls, and others). Also in the neighborhood are opportunities for canoeing, kayaking, swimming, rock climbing, gavel-road and country-road biking, and pretty much any outdoor activity/adventure opportunity. Or... you can just chill and relax, sleep, or read the day away!
Love food? This is Farm-to-Table for real! Never so close--the table's AT the farm! Bring your cooking gear and get some of our wicked fresh organic food--veggies, chops, sausages, eggs, bacon, granola, yogurt, etc. Sear yourself up a real treat!
Very nearby, as the Berkshires is a cultural mecca, there are also numerous opportunities from many great restaurants to art, dance, music, spas, galleries, antique shops, museums, cafes and much more.
It's still amazingly quiet at the farm where the Milky Way is clearly visible.

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.

Bordering the Esopus Creek in the heart of the Mid-Hudson Valley, Artemis Ridge is a wooded camping property designed for guests looking to slow down, reconnect with nature, and experience a more rustic outdoor stay.
Surrounded by forest and close to hiking trails, swimming spots, restaurants, and nearby Hudson Valley towns, the property offers a balance of nature and accessibility. While immersed in the woods, guests should expect some ambient sounds from nearby roads and occasional passing trains — a reminder that you’re tucked into nature without being too far from civilization.
Our small campground currently offers three unique campsites ranging from easily accessible woodland setups to more adventurous hike-in experiences near the river. Whether you're looking for a simple basecamp for exploring the Catskills or a quiet night around the fire under the trees, Artemis Ridge offers a relaxed and authentic camping experience.
Please note that this is a rustic property. We currently do not have running water, so guests should arrive prepared with everything needed for their stay.
We look forward to sharing the land with you.

This quaint little tent and private deck are nestled among the trees on the banks of the Esopus Creek in a great little neighborhood! A way to get back to nature without truly leaving it all behind. A one of a kind private waterfront escape with hot water and electric outlet!
The space: Enjoy a safari style tent on your own private deck overlooking the water located in a private wooded property. Rinse off under the private a-frame shower with warm water and use the NEWLY installed Porta-Potty. This porta-potty is emptied weekly and sanitized before each guest. You won’t have to dig holes but you are camping after all!!
Cook a meal on a propane grill. You are welcomed to bring aluminum trays! Charge your phones or laptops should you need to do a little work under the canopy of the trees! (Yes! There is an outlet for small devices!!!) Finally, relax under the stars on a queen sized bed in your screened in tent as the tree frogs lull you to sleep and the fireflies wow your senses with their magical glow!
Feel like exploring? Take a short walk through the beautiful neighborhood to see the bison and the magnificent sunsets over the farm. We are located in a great little neighborhood so you never have to go trekking too far into nature and be totally secluded. Yet, you enjoy the half acre waterfront property all to yourself! Plenty of longer trails are easily accessible just a short drive away!
If something a little bit further from nature tickles your fancy, jump in your car for a quick ride to Uptown Kingston or Saugerties where you’ll find plenty of great restaurants and shops to visit during your stay. Either way, you're sure to enjoy!
End your day with a nice fire under the stars! You have two comfy Adirondack chairs and an enclosed fire pit for your use!! Be sure to bring enough wood as you’ll want to linger around the fire just a little while longer!!
During the cooler months, enjoy a small heater that will warm up the tent to a toasty temperature perfect for sleeping! Sweet dreams are sure to follow!
**If staying with us during the months of November through April, please note that the water is turned off to protect the pipes. We do offer a small electric heater and plenty of warm blankets and comforters. However, you are staying in a canvas tent so we do suggest you bring extra warm clothing and slippers to wear during your stay!

This piece of land was developed by my mother, and named after my grandmother: The Awakening Garden is a translation of her name in Chinese.
It is tucked in between the Hudson River (8 miles to the East) and the Catskill Mountains (10 miles to the west). It is just 6 miles from the Village of Saugerties and 14 miles to Woodstock, NY.
The piece available for camping is 10 acres, but the entire Garden is comprised of 98 acres of rolling land (most of it in a forestry protection plan) bordered on the west by acres of marshland. Many trails criss-cross the Garden and lead one to pretty or interesting vistas including a large mountain laurel patch, ancient graveyard, and different stands of mixed wood forests.
There’s lots of wildlife both on land and in the marshes.

For July 4th weekend, and Labor Day weekend drive-up sites are a 2 night minimum. In the off season starting after Thanksgiving through April, there is no water or toilet or shower facilities available. The solar shower and water lines may be shut off any time in October if freezing conditions prevail. Please check with us.
Our 75 acres is a wonderful, diverse mix of habitat, harmoniously integrated with our small farm. This land was the homestead of the very first non native settler of the area, John Wiley, in 1787. Before that, it was the land of the Mahican native Americans. They named it "valley of the butternut trees", or Wyomanock.
The Wyomanock Creek is the backbone of this little valley. Beaver have dammed the creek at several points to create ponds and other wetland features that support a diversity of wildlife including otter, moose and a myriad of birds, from osprey to herons. This sanctuary is host to many uncommon native plants and plant communities. We would love to share it with you!
Your host, Thom, invites you to property to explore 75 acres of meadows, woods and water. Choose one of several sites either in the woods or open areas. You are also free to use our outdoor solar shower or take a dip in the cold pond or artesian spring fed pool.
Our location is convenient to the Berkshire Mountains, state parks, hiking and other attractions, including Ramble Wild tree to tree adventures and Jiminy Peak. There are a few miles of rail trail access just down the road.

Lovely site above the river with trails leading down. Very private, though East camp is closer to neighbors. Not luxury camping but a very good campsite with most of what you need. We were there for the hottest days of the summer (temp hit 100) and the site was the coolest place to be, shady but still caught the breeze. The massive thunderstorms, and the tent and other tarped areas held up well. Overall a very positive experience despite less than ideal conditions.

Beautiful land. Wonderful host. Lovely farm animals. Absolute 10/10 stay. Notably for future campers, the bell tent is in the corner of a field, meaning no shade until 2-3pm and our stay was during a heatwave. We were out and about for these hours so it didn't affect us but it may be worth toting in a shade structure.

Thom's property was absolutely stunning - even more beautiful than the pictures! Instructions were all very clear on how to access the campsite. I highly recommend staying at sanctuary site 2. It was perfectly shaded for our summer stay and felt very secluded, but was just about a 6-8 min walk from the parking lot through the gorgeous property. There was a nice fire pit and large picnic table. The sleeping area was very level and the ground was super soft. We fit our 6-person tent easily. There were good sets of trees to hang hammocks if you have. The sound of the bullfrogs and birds was serene. The one thing of note was that there was a live band playing for most of the time we were there (they did stop by 10pm). I'm not sure where it was coming from (maybe there is a house nearby) or if this is a regular thing, but just something to note if that would bother you! We actually enjoyed the music and it didn't get in the way of our sleep at all. There was a nice solar shower and sink set up, as well as a compost toilet near the lot. The swimming pond was quite murky so we didn't end up braving it for a swim. Highly recommend 25 min away Cheshire mt (the cobbles via appalachian trail) for a short but mighty hike with a stunning view (~1.5 hr out and back). Thank you Thom - we'll definitely be back!

Overview
About
A Mount Everett State Reservation camping trip is the perfect escape for those looking to immerse themselves in nature's grandeur. Located near the tri-state junction of Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York, this Massachusetts gem offers a scenic drive through picturesque landscapes, whether you're coming from Boston, southern Connecticut, or NYC. Though Mount Everett might not rival its towering Asian counterpart in height, the journey to its 2,624-foot summit is nothing short of exhilarating. As campers ascend, they're met with rugged landscapes, where the wind dances freely and trees stand stunted yet resilient. Reaching the top, the reward is a panorama that feels as if it stretches endlessly, offering sights that captivate the soul. For those seeking an added layer of adventure, the trail from Race Brook Falls off of Route 41 in Sheffield, Massachusetts, is a must.

Whether it's the challenge of the hike, the allure of cascading waterfalls, or the promise of unmatched vistas, Mount Everett State Reservation beckons campers with its unique blend of nature's wonders. So, gear up and set out on an adventure that promises memories that will last a lifetime.
