**Please confirm you have read our property description and rules before booking** Our slice of paradise consists of 225 acres of forested land nestled in the foothills of the Catskills near Albany. We are a homestead and small campground devoted to the principles of organic farming and self-reliance. Modern agriculture and big business are unsustainable, destroying farmland at an accelerating pace. It is important for us to teach the next generation, there is an alternative. We produce much of our own food. We have friendly goats, chickens, ducks, peacocks, donkeys and horses the guests can pet and feed. There are no swimming holes on our property, but many waterfalls and swimming spots within a short drive (see list below). A quick 5 minute drive will get you to one of the best disc golf courses in the north east. For the truly adventurous, Clarksville Cave is a short drive away. Visit their website for list of proper gear and rules. We do rent some of the equipment needed.

Beautiful mountain top view and farm experience. The entire property was so peaceful . We loved hiking the dirt road and playing with the animals. I didn’t want to leave!

Site 3 - Magic Forest Farm Camp

Good for lightly experienced camper

Porta potties should be changed out with handicap style... Also a hose spigot over at the water refill station would be beneficial instead of struggling with the sink... Would also be a good idea to put a couple solar lanterns on the edge of the pathway and near the porta potties to allow better visibility at night time getting to the bathroom... Did not necessarily give a low rating on our camping book it was a seven out of 10 but because of us being experienced campers

Site 4 Magic Forest Far Forget-Me-Not Spot

Very nice, peaceful and cute campsite. Site was away from people and next to the trails. Outhouse was a bit of walk down a hill. Overall had a great time. Would camp there again

Site 2 - Magic Forest Farm Camp

This was my second time staying at this campground and I really love it. The access to amenities is clear and the animals by the water make it exciting to hang out.
