This woodland meadow in just yards from the crystal clear Esopus Creek. Wonderful for swimming or fishing or just enjoying the quiet of a country escape. Close to the charming country town of Phoenicia with charming restaurants and a short drive to Woodstock.

An absolutely beautiful site in a great part of the Catskills. John was really kind and runs a beautiful property. We will definitely be back.

Amazing
Third time staying here - absolutely perfect every time! Private, clean, gorgeous and with your own private creek - what could be better?

The campsite was amazing! Great area, and so many amenities included (even a heater in the tent!). Probably the best Hipcamp I have been to and couldn’t wish for anything better!

John and AC’s site is the perfect getaway! Nestled at the bottom of the mountains and next to a gorgeous stream, this site is meant for anyone who wants to disconnect from every day life and reconnect with nature. Owls sang us to sleep and the stars were abundant. We’ll be back soon!

Magical camping experience
This campsite was a dream for my kids, ages 5 and 8, plus my husband and I. We had a wonderful time. The tent and beds were luxurious, and everything, including the outhouse, was spotless when we got there. The creek provided endless fun for the kids, and when they weren’t at the stream, they were playing wiffle ball in the huge field next to the tent. John and AC couldn’t have been nicer hosts!

The perfect, secret spot!
Perfect weekend getaway at the “secret spot.” John & AC are expert hosts and devoted stewards to their “slice of heaven.” The spot is a true gem nestled in the Catskills. The campsite is easily accessible yet private and spacious. Hosts added thoughtful amenities and local recommendations. I definitely would camp here again. 5-stars!
