Being from New York City, this was our very first camping experience ever, and David and Peggy have made this a very unique experience. The camping site was very well prepared and included all the amenities that made our stay extremely enjoyable. They've had all the firewood we needed to start our own campfire, which was the highlight of our trip. The site was secluded enough that felt like we were completely removed from society while it gave us comfort that it was also a short walk away from the main road and the farm house. I would highly recommend this place for first time campers like us. When we visit Catskills area again, we will definitely keep this place in mind and make an effort to stay here for a few days! Thank you for everything!

Cute cabin with the BEST hosts

This was absolutely the best!! You won't need to bring anything, Peggy and David have already thought of it and have it ready for you. I took my 3 young children and there wasn't a single complaint!

We arrived just in time to see the start of Fall Foliage. This campsite was very private and had everything we could ever ask for -- from a brook right by the cabin to an indoor bathroom & shower. We had a blast!

We had a great time staying by the creek. My 9yr old son was in the creek the entire time we were there. This was our first time ever "camping" so we didn't have many expectations going into it. But the 2 acre site had everything you could need from bikes, and all sorts of sports equipment to a covered mini kitchen area with gas grill and a covered place to sit and eat. The only negative was the air mattresses in the cabin. Every time one of us moved in either bed (we were sleeping 2 on each bunk bed) the mattresses made loud noises and our sleep was not the best. Other than that we had a wonderful time and it was a great introduction to camping for my family of 4.

Perfect nature getaway!

We loved it!! The camp house was a little smaller than we would’ve liked but the beds were very spacious and the outdoors was huge!!! Plenty of room for many kids or for a “camping party”. The owners were very welcoming and inviting and they even left us maple syrup from their town! We would say to bring flashlights because it does get very dark at night. So much so, that you can’t even see your hand in front of your face 😂. This is the perfect family area with plenty of games, space, bikes, activities, and not to mention necessities. They provided tents, soaps, coal and plenty of wood for fires. Will definitely be coming back!
