Waterfall Sanctuary & Quiet Retreat

29mi from Glimmerglass State Park · 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.

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. Deer graze in the fields surrounding the house.

I live off grid in one of the toughest climates in the US. I have about 15 acres of land bordered by 10,000 acres of wild forest preserve. Locals refer to this area as The Hill because of its unique weather anomalies. I share my experiences with campers in good weather but exist here all year. I am a Qualified NYS Woodland Guide. My actual license is pending the processing of fees and registration. This should be complete by August 1st of this year. I have over a half century of knowledge gained through a lifetime of hiking, exploring and living in this environment. My main focus is the land, lakes, ponds and streams in the lower Adirondack Park. I leave the high peaks, ice climbing and white water rafting to others that choose that speciality. My goal in guiding is not that of a just a follow me and listen guide. I strive to help those interested in learning about and enjoying the outdoors safely so that you take away real life skills you can use once we are done. I did search and resuce work as a volunteer for many years under DEC Forest Rangers. To help contain costs l will allow up to groups of people to participate at one time. Also. If you would like Amish made products, l can arrange that as well. There is a very conservative Amish community in the surrounding area. I consider these people my good friends and l am very familiar with their customs, traditions and lifestyles. Many people are now thinking of doing what we have done. If you so choose, we can schedule time to discuss any of the offgrid issues that may be unanswered in your mind. The original intent was to offer a peaceful place for you to escape for a time. That is still my main purpose. If you are interested in the full story, contact me, Karl, for more information upon arrival or by phone 518 935 5152. Regular business hours. Hope to see you soon. Bring what you expect you will need and be prepared to take home knowledge and lifelong memories created alone or with my help. See you soon. Please check out my reviews. I am thankful for what l have and proud of what l have done here to protect and preserve these woods for me and my guests. Thank you, Karl Pettigrew

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.

Our focus and purpose on this land is to provide stewardship and sanctuary for the Natural world to maintain it’s own balance with minimal interference from humans. To remain wild and free. We are a plant, wildlife and butterfly sanctuary. We rent the lodgings (Chalet, Cabin & Glampsite) to support and fund the maintenance and expansion of native and pollinating species of plants, expanding the area that we steward, providing habitat and refuge for animals, insects, birds and more. We wish to share our sacred land with people that love and respect the Earth, who wish to contribute to a conservation project through their own presence and mindfulness. Once a RV camping park called "Thunder Hill Campground" in the late 1960's early 1970's, the land sat mostly unused for 15 years before Rachel came to steward it 20 years ago. We are 107 acres of forest, a 9 acre lake, ponds, creeks, labyrinth, a Holistic Retreat Center & Organic Permaculture Farm at a 2000 foot elevation in the Heldeberg Mountains. 500 million years ago during the Devonian Period this was a sea, so we live in shale based mountains with lots of fossils! The Heldebergs are one of the oldest mountain ranges on earth, these mountains have been worn down to 2000 feet over time. Native Americans lived in the area many years ago and we are quite sure this was Native American sacred ceremony land. Hiking, canoeing, swimming and fishing (catch & release only) are available on site. There are many places to hike in the area, an Eagle Trail and in winter, 2 miles away, is a Nature Preserve that rents snowshoes and has trails for snowshoeing and cross country skiing, Very rural and private, even though we are only 25 miles SW of Albany, NY the capital of NYS, here it is quiet and peaceful. We do have 3 very friendly dogs that will want to be your best friends. Also farm animals that you can meet. There will be farm noises, roosters greeting the morning and various grunts and snorts... far less noise than any modern city. Albany, along with the surrounding areas, have many events etc going on. There's hiking, biking, nature parks, horse racing, concerts, festivals and events and so much more. Links and information can be provided to campers that stay with us that are looking for entertainment & excursions. We are near Albany, Berne, Catskill, Cairo, Cobleskill, East Durham, Greenville, Hunter, Knox, Medusa, Oak Hill, Middleburgh, Schoharie, Westerlo, Windham.

Weekend Trip to Bearkill Brook Campsite

Our family had an amazing stay at Bearkill. The site completely exceeded our expectations. We were looking for a quiet, private campsite to enjoy with our young kids and this spot was perfect. There is tons of open space to spread out tents with complete privacy, along with a super cozy cabin. The other amenities like a grill and a shower with hot water really made camping with kids more enjoyable. The kids really enjoyed the creek and toys Peggy and David provided. Really great site, really great hosts.

The setting is beautiful, quiet, and perfect for relaxing by the fire or exploring the woods. We absolutely loved our stay and can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Coyote Hollow Park

We had a wonderful stay at Coyote Hollow Site 2! Even though it rained most of the weekend, the glamping tent kept us warm and dry. The hosts were incredibly friendly and had thought of every detail to make our stay comfortable. The site was quiet, clean, and peaceful. Breakfast offered a great variety, and we loved the free-roaming chickens and ducks. We’d happily stay here again and highly recommend it!

2 nights at Waterfall Sanctuary & Quiet Retreat

This cabin was so beautiful and we had a lovely little cat visit us everyday we were here! We loved that there were screens on all the windows and doors and how close the cabin was to the waterfall! Thank you for creating such a wonderful place!

1 night at Pink Mountain

The tent and site were perfect! Even better than advertised. The location is amazing-- so close to town but very private and quiet. The tent was spacious and the mattress was comfortable. A small cupboard outside contained a few necessary items we forgot-- namely bug spray and a lighter for the campfire. I intend to stay here again in the future. Beware that the road leading up to the site is a little rough.

Weekend Trip to Bearkill Brook Campsite

We typically would not spend this much to camp but, since we (2adults & 2 dogs) only had 2 nights, we really did not want to bring all of our camping gear. Well, I must say it was worth every dollar and we really wish we had more time to stay and play. We may have been a bit spoiled with all of the amenities, not to mention, the space and all of the fun outdoor games provided. Our 2 dogs had as much fun as we did… maybe more. It was like we had our own private campground with facilities ALL TO OURSELVES. The mix of sun (big open field) and shade was perfect. The creek along the camp was fun and fantastic for hiking and frolicking. Star gazing was amazing in the big field with a masterfully made fire pit. We applaud David’s craftsmanship on the cabin, as well as the bathhouse and other structures. This is definitely the perfect spot for first time campers, especially with kids and pets. Peggy and David were outstanding hosts and we were quite grateful they were just up the road, as we needed a jump start upon our departure. We certainly hope to be back for an extended stay with more people. Thanks for everything Peggy & David!

Weekend Trip to Three Waters Hill

We had a wonderful stay at this off-grid cabin! It was the perfect place to unplug, relax, and enjoy nature. The cabin was clean, cozy, and thoughtfully set up with everything we needed for a comfortable stay while still providing a true off-grid experience. The peaceful surroundings made it easy to unwind, and we loved spending time outdoors taking in the beautiful scenery. Our host was friendly, welcoming, and provided clear directions and helpful information before we arrived. If you're looking for a quiet getaway to disconnect from the hustle of everyday life, this cabin is a fantastic choice. We would definitely stay here again!

Weekend Trip to Three Waters Hill

Camping here was amazing! The land that Brian has is beautiful and you need to take the time explore it! The cabin was very comfortable and 90% private (with only the occasional 4 wheeler in the distance). Brian was incredibly accommodating, welcoming, and attentive to anything we needed. My partner and I painted a couple of rocks during our stay and hope to add more in the future!

Weekend Trip to Reflections Homestead

We were really looking forward to this stay, and it exceeded our expectations! Karl greeted us when we arrived, along with his daughter, and took the time to show us around and share helpful information about the property and the surrounding area. The cabin was cozy and comfortable. The bed is a pull-out futon, so I would recommend bringing a mattress pad or sleeping bag if you prefer a little extra cushioning for sleeping. Karl has also recently installed a solar battery pack, which provides lighting and allows for basic device charging, making the cabin even more convenient. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would absolutely stay here again the next time we're in the area for hiking or visiting Utica. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Waterfall Sanctuary & Quiet Retreat

Extremely private, amazing proximity to one of the best waterfalls I’ve swam at in recent memory, really special place. We did not see the host nor did we see those staying at the other camp site.

4 nights at Reflections Homestead

Just wrapped up an unforgettable stay at Karl’s Hipcamp, and it delivered exactly what I needed—a true hardcore reset from the digital grind. No constant pings, no screens demanding attention, just pure unplugging in the heart of nature. The property is a gem: pristine, well-maintained, and surrounded by beautiful nature trails that wind through stunning woods and scenery. Perfect for hiking, exploring, or just soaking in the quiet with family. Karl himself is an absolute standout—super helpful, incredibly knowledgeable about the local area, trails, wildlife, and everything in between. He went out of his way to make sure we had what we needed and shared tips that turned a good trip into a great one. The setup was comfortable, the vibes were right, and everything felt thoughtfully put together without any of the usual campsite headaches. All around, this was a top-tier experience that recharged us completely. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic outdoor escape. Already planning our next booking—can’t wait to get back! Thanks, Karl!
