Enjoy rustic camping on our 115 acres of upstate NY forest. We are just a short drive to Cooperstown, the Baseball Hall of Fame and the summer baseball camps as well as the other museums that it has to offer. Howe Caverns in Cobleskill is also about 30 minutes away as well. The property consists of a mixture of upland hardwoods (mainly Oak, Maple and Cherry) with scattered stands of Red Pine, White Spruce, Hemlock and two open fields/pastures. There are also the occasional conifers scattered about just to keep things interesting. The majority of the property is gently sloping from the South up towards the North. The is also a nice ridge on the NE corner of the property to aid in topographic diversity. One of the fields is a seven acre hay field and the other is a five acre food plot planted in clover, chicory and other grasses. This field has also been recently planted with Apples, Pear, American Plum, Red Osier Dogwood, Persimmon, Red Mulberry, Chinese Chestnut, and Hazelnuts. These are all young at this time but will start to provide diversity and wildlife interest in the coming years. Wildlife abounds here at the homestead. Whitetail Deer and Eastern Wild Turkey are very common to see. We also have a variety of small animals as well such as Red and Grey Squirrels, Raccoons, Porcupine, Opossum, Fisher etc. For the birders, we have Barred and Great Horned Owls and Red Tailed Hawks. It is also not uncommon to see Bald Eagles soaring over the fields looking for their next meal. All of the property is easily accessible via our extensive trail system. There is also another 187 acres that borders our land that also has trails that would allow hiking. We have detailed maps so that getting lost would be the least of your worries.

Red Pine Forest Campsite
Camping in the pine forest on Todd’s land was absolutely lovely! Todd made it so easy for us to set up, even going so far to help us transport all of our supplies (and there were a lot!) from our cars to the woods, setting us up with a massive jug of water, and then even bringing us another without us asking, just in case we were running out. Todd was super communicative and kind and answered all my anxious questions without delay. He also brought us dry wood and fire starters which made building — and maintaining — a fire super easy. Despite the rainy weather we had to contend with, my friends & I had a great weekend and that was largely because of Todd’s hospitality. We’d go back anytime!

Beautiful place!
This is a really beautiful and peaceful campground and I really enjoyed my stay! The host is extremely friendly and helpful and provides water for your stay. The property is amazingly beautiful with excellent hiking trails you can walk along to see the beautiful views. The property is large and expansive so it’s feels extremely private but also safe. The toilets are clean and easy to use and they have nice fire pits to have a fire. Highly recommend!

The site was beautiful! We were only there for one night and unfortunately didn’t have time to explore. Todd the host was extremely helpful and friendly. He helped us get our gear to and from the campsite. We will definitely be back if we are in the area.

We actually were not able to make our camp due to inclement weather, but our host was incredibly communicative and responsive. Booking, questions and concerns were all responded to in a very timely manner. We are looking forward to booking for another time!

Ideal site for simple campers
The homestead, and specifically the pine grove campsite is a gem! Todd is a gracious host and very accommodating. He got in contact with me ahead of time to set the arrival expectations and was quick to respond when I sent him a message. I enjoyed being able to wander around a large property and really experience the beautiful, picturesque setting! The site had plenty of flat area to accommodate tents, but I really wished I had brought a hammock, as the pines are spaced perfectly. He also provided a bundle of firewood and starter, with plenty of deadfall nearby to collect. Todd also made sure I had enough water and showed where to get more. In summary, I cannot recommend this site more for fans of a traditional camping experience. It is close enough to Cooperstown and plenty of other recreation, too, but you don’t even need to leave the Brook Hollow Homestead. I sincerely hope my future travels bring me back one day.
