Amazing location with panoramic views of the Vermont Green Mountain range, this property adjoins a public 9 hole golf course. Located on over 260 private and secluded acres, property also has a 2 acre pond for swimming, paddling or just relaxing.
There are several miles of maintained hiking trails meandering throughout the forest, ranging from an easy walk, to hilly and somewhat challenging. Many varieties of tent locations or places to park an RV, pop up, or car. This is considered a "Primitive camp site". There is no shower, toilet or electric available at this time, but well water can be had from our residence, via a hose spigot on the side of our home. This is our 3rd year of hosting, and due to the overwhelming popularity of having an abundance of privacy, we will continue to be only hosting one party at a time. Which means you'll get the privilege of not having to share your surroundings with anyone else! Your own private camp ground! We are hoping this all works out and intend to continuously improve amenities, activities and overall experience. We are hoping to provide an exceptional value and experience that will bring back repeat campers, that we can trust and build a rapport. We are looking forward to meeting you!
There will be a picnic table, two Adirondack chairs, and a firepit on site, for your convenience.
Firewood will be available on site as well, for additional fee.
Please note, regarding directions to the site: Some maps, directions show our address as the town of Whitehall NY. This is also correct, as we are apparently on the border of the two towns and depending on the map, it can come up as Hampton, or Whitehall. As far as I know, it's the town of Hampton, but just in case...

Our family is excited to share the beauty of our working crop farm with others. My great grandfather settled here in the late 1930's from Stanstead, Canada, Our family milked dairy cows until 2006 at which time my Dad sold the herd and leased out to neighbor that continues the farming activities on the farm. In 2020, my husband and I became the proud owners of Lake Home Farm. For many years my grandparents rented row boats at this campsite which brought so much joy to so many. We are excited to engage with Tentrr and our campers to share this gem while continuing the relationship with our neighbor who crops the land. Note: this campsite is named after Dot, Dot lived in Ludlow, VT and she spent her summers at this site for all the years of my childhood. She was famous for her turtle soup and we're delighted to remember her in this way!

The rumors are true! This Hipcamp is absolutely amazing. Our family had the most wonderful time here over a perfect fall weekend. We were greeting by Kathy and Tim, Betsy the Highlander cow, and many friendly goats :) the campsite itself is stunning with amazing views, wide open space and a nice level ground for a tent. There are so many thoughtful touches and amenities from the host, like the cutest outhouse, a box of supplies in case you forgot anything, firewood, and even a toy box. Even with all the amenities it still felt like we were camping which is always want we’re looking for. We can’t wait to come back!

James is a lovely host! The woods are quiet and peaceful and Poultney is just a short spin away by bike. Best of both worlds :)

This was our second time staying at Private Oasis, and it lives up to its name every time. My wife and I and our 2 labs stayed for 2 nights in our 16' camper. The pups absolutely love running their hearts out and then having a nice cool swim! This time of year is absolutely beautiful at camp as well as the drive along rt 22. It was the definitive fall paradise trip you can only dream of. As usual the camp was clean, private and well stocked with firewood. Can't wait to make it a hattrick and stay a 3rd time! PS go to Toads Burger Bar in Poultney and get yourself an order of their sliders, better yet..... Make it two orders.

We were very happy with our experience, the views were so beautiful, Kathleen and Tim were so kind, it was quiet and private and we had a wonderful time. We went to Slate Valley Trails at the bottom of the mountain to mountain bike which was also fantastic!

Michel and her husband Terry were awesome hosts so kind and generous. They have a lovely farm on a hill with several spots tucked into the trees and acute cabin at the top of the hill. Michel left me a bouquet of her flowers. Their shower is nice and hot and surprisingly refreshing. I’ll definitely come back here when I am in Poultney for gravel biking events at analog.

What a great camping spot. The river just bubbles right on by, and you’re enchanted with those sounds to fall asleep to. There is a road not far from the site but after dark I didn’t hear a peep. The host was kind enough to stop by and check to make sure I was settle which was a nice touch. I would absolutely recommend this Hipcamp!

Great view, isolated and plenty of downed trees for a nice fire. Platform was a bit fragile in the center but the side panels were perfect for my two person tent. The hike was short and steep but the ropes were secure and made it easy.
Favorite part was laying in the hammock looking out at the mountains and lake George during a full moon. Highly recommend. Enjoyed seeing a few deer in the area. Great host easy to communicate with and site is perfect for those who either don’t require brining in a lot of items or don’t mind doing a few trips up a steep hill.

We loved camping in our van on blueberry Hill. The views were spectacular. All of the trees were in full fall foliage. The outdoor center nearby was perfect for convenience and level of comfort. We would definitely come here again.

Absolutely beautiful and peaceful spot for us to stop and recharge for a couple of days while traveling. Evan welcomed us in as we set up. Even though the weather wasn't all we might have wished (rain and wind the second day), the Oasis was still a great place to relax with a book and enjoy the peace and quiet. Would love to come back and spend a bit more time.

Coy Mountain Camp was by far the best hipcamp we have stayed at. We were greeted by Kathy and Tim with warm welcoming smiles, farm fresh eggs, and tons of farm animals. The site itself is perched on top of a mountain, spacious, surrounded by wildflowers. The site is private, equipped with an outhouse, picnic table, outdoor showers, plenty of firewood and a community bin. The stars and all around nature at their place are unbeatable. Truly a special place, we look forward to coming back!
