Wahl Dairy Farm has been a family run and owned small farm since 1921 when August Wahl moved their family to Callicoon. August was a butcher by trade, and the farm started as a family homestead, raising their own chickens and cows with the help of a few horses and of course August's father who was very handy and could make axe handles and wooden wheel spokes.  The Wahl homestead became Wahl Dairy Farm in the 1940s when August started selling milk, two or four cans at a time, to the creamery. August's son, Vernon, took over the business and built it up; at one point about 100 cows were being milked! Vernon's son Ross took over the farm in 1995 and diversified it. Ross regularly raises chickens and pigs and grows pumpkins, in addition to the 40 or so milking cows currently on the farm (there are also calves and heifers).  The farm is about 200 acres in total, including 15 acres of woods, 15 acres of "hunting" land (deer and rabbits roam free in the scrub), and close to 150 acres in production with pasture and hay. We never feed corn silage! We believe the corn gives the milk a more sour taste (you are what you eat!). We're proud that we've always been in grassland and committed to raising a mostly grass fed dairy herd, a quality not found in many diary farms today. We're excited to share this place with you!

Open field, self-sufficient camping
Ross's site is an amazing, open hilltop field lined with a windbreak of trees for some shade. It can get a bit windy, but on calm days it's just the best. It's very spacious, and you can set up wherever you'd like. There were 2 other groups on the days we were there, and we spaced ourselves far enough away that it did not feel intrusive. Ross himself is a lovely person, and offered firewood for sale. There's no amenities, so be prepared to be self-sufficient with water, food, and your own toilet if you need it. You'll need to pack out all your trash as well. The campsite itself is not at the Wahl Dairy Farm address. It is about a mile away, and can be very confusing to find. It can be hard to get ahold of Ross as he's not very tech-oriented, so I would suggest that you read the directions he sends as if you were driving out or making a right turn out of the driveway/road to his farm, keeping his mailbox on the right side of your car. After that, you'll have to drive a short while up the road to find the next turn. The dirt driveway is two dirt tire tracks that seem to lead up into the brush, and the drive up the hill to the campsite is a bit steep. We had a 2WD with low clearance and were able to make it in good, dry weather, but it could be difficult if the field is muddy. Overall, we loved our stay as it was so peaceful and the morning mists along the hillside was beautiful to wake up to. If you're a self-sufficient camper, this is heaven.

Wahl Farm Camping
We loved camping on Wahl’s land because of the beautiful scenery, private campsites, and the close proximity to local attractions. Wahl was extremely friendly and helpful throughout our stay. He checked in on us to make sure we were comfortable. There’s several sites to choose from and we loved the open field with a beautiful view. This is the perfect place to come to, to get away from the busyness of everyday life. We will be back. Thank you!

Best Campsite Around
Absolutely beautiful spot, in a stunning valley with mountains and plenty of sky at night with no light and/ or other types of pollution. The host was super nice, friendly and such a gentleman to share his wisdom and grab a drink with us. Cheers to Wahl Farm!

Dark Skies and Starry Nights
What a beautiful place to see the stars and enjoy outback camping!!! The farm is on one of the highest points in Sullivan County and boasts big, open, dark sky with nice breezes and beautiful sunsets! There are no biting bugs or gnats....lots of crickets and grasshoppers (...a bonus for the dog for sure!) We had a memorable time and thank Farmer Ross for his kindness. Don't forget to charge up batteries for late night dancing under the stars, the bonfire illuminates the field....great place for sketching and foraging also!

Great option for Bethel Woods camp
My second time at this great site. 15 minutes from Bethel Woods so, if the crazy onsite camping vibe doesn’t appeal to you, this is a great, quiet, and private option. Will be back! Thank you.
