Welcome to Hickory Hollow! Located 7 minutes from the Town of Catskill, 25 minutes from Hudson, and just under the Catskill Mountains, Hickory Hollow is the perfect campsite to take full advantage of the Upper Hudson Valley. There are two campsites you can chose from, both in clearings that make for great star gazing. Camp 1 is deeper into the forest taking about two minutes to walk to from the parking area. Camp site 2 is only a one minute walk but much closer to the farm. If you are coming with a dog, I would recommend staying at Camp site 1, as the farms dogs are very vocal when there are new friends in the area. Each campsite comes with a fire pit, a grate for cooking, and a picnic table. There is parking provided and a composting outhouse. You will need to bring your own firewood, though there is plenty of available kindling. The property is 9 acres and I encourage guests to hike down to the stream and take a walk if they feel comfortable. If not there are so many hiking/swimming options nearby and I am happy to point you in the right direction. This property has a been a life long dream of mine, and is (in my opinion) the most beautiful place on earth. That being said there is a still a lot of work that I am doing since this is a very new endeavor. So please watch yourself if you do decide to stay. The Hollow is beautiful but also very steep, so please be careful while you walk the woods. Pets are welcome, but again, be safe. There is an abundance of wildlife in the Hollow (see if you can spot the porcupine) but that can be very distracting for dogs, so be cautious when letting them off lead.

Hickory Hollow stands out as a well-maintained camping spot, perfect for those who enjoy a mix of nature's tranquility and the occasional farmyard symphony. The site is clean and easy to find, with thoughtful touches like a compost toilet and a grate over the fire pit to enhance the camping experience. However, it's important to be prepared for the nearby farm's rooster calls and barking dogs, which might intrude on the silence. Despite these interruptions, the campsite offers a charming escape with easy access to local attractions and activities.

Site 1 - Hickory Hollow

Great little car camping spot. Semi private wooded area great for a group of friends. Close to a lot of great trails etc. Some interesting rooster cackles in the middle of the night but easy to block out with some plugs. Had a great time.

Site 2- Hickory Hollow

The site was nice and flat, and had a good picnic table and a grate over the fire that made cooking easy. The latrine area was also surprisingly really nice. Unfortunately, the campsite was very close to a farm with a few dogs who I assume to be livestock guardian dogs. Since the parking area is right by the barn, every time we went to our car to put away food or trash, the dogs would bark pretty loudly for a good 10-15 minutes. There was also a lot of chicken and goat sounds throughout the night- we love animals but I wish we had known about this beforehand.

Camping in this area was great, the area was secluded enough to have your own foresty feeling. Parking was easy and the surrounding area was amazing to explore. I had 0 complaints

Great site! Clean and easy to find. I arrived at night and had no problem finding it and setting up. I especially appreciated the grill, which was already set up. Would recommend for a weekend or even longer!
