Beautiful secluded 29-acre property in rural New York. This land had once been part of a large farm for a few hundred years and was subdivided in the early 1990.. Field by field it was let "go wild" and the forests and old fields are rich in stages of succession and biological diversity. There are miles of maintained trails...and even more if you want to go on trails made by deer and rabbits. Learn more about this land: Put up a tent or sleep under the stars in an clearing in an old meadow, surrounded by forest. Several trails lead to other places on the land. Campsite is about a 4-5 minute walk from parking area. Wagon available to haul your stuff back and forth.

We really enjoyed our 2 nights at Earth Song at the 'Ash 8' site. Jo was great to communicate with before and during our stay. The property was gorgeous for a few days of fall camping. Jo gave us a run down of some of the edible (and not edible) plants/berries on our walk to site, and even let us test out her electric lawn mower that my fiancé was interested in.

We had a lovely time at Jo's farm! She welcomed us when we arrived and told us about the plants along the path back to the campsite, which was a private little area amongst the trees with a nice fire pit. She provided us with a couple gallons of water and some fresh eggs! The humanure toilet worked great, but is very public so make sure you are comfortable with the people you're camping with!

Jo was a wonderful hostess! The land is beautiful and the campsite was very private, just a short (5 min) walk from the parking area. Jo provided water, a heavy duty cart to transport gear to the campsite, and fresh eggs for breakfast! The campsite had a fire ring and a humanure privy. There were lots of walking trails but I was only there overnight and had to leave the next morning. I hope to visit again when I have time to explore more.

This was an incredible experience end to end. Jo is lovely, helpful, and knowledgeable, and she takes impeccable care of her property. She puts a lot of care into creating campsites for guests, providing both amenities and being a resource if they have problems. My site was idyllic, and I had a wonderful morning exploring after a great night’s sleep. If you’re looking to learn something as well, come here - I learned no less than 5 things from Jo. Can’t recommend enough!
