We invite you to come camp on 77 acres of varied land. Woods, fields, swimming pond, hiking trails, and possibly even other campers, although it's very private if that's how you'd like it. You may be perfectly content staying put, but if you seek small town offerings, Chatham (15 minutes away) offers restaurants, art galleries, a brewery, movie theatre, two bakeries, and some shops. We are half an hour from Hudson, and in the midst of plentiful Berkshire and Hudson Valley hiking, biking, antiquing, and sightseeing opportunities. Enjoy the big view from the highest corner of the big field. This is a sweet little campsite set in a birch grove with a view to the Catskills, and lots of wildlife. Two minute walk from your car, and a five minute walk to a swimming pond and a composting toilet outhouse. Near Chatham, New York where there is a brewery, cheese shop, bakery, restaurants, and a movie theatre. We are half an hour from Hudson, and in the midst of plentiful Berkshire and Hudson Valley hiking, biking and sightseeing opportunities.

If we can, we will be happy to either ferry you via our 4WD, or help you carry your stuff in. The winter is really fun and beautiful. It's really nice here and we're happy to share it.

Creekside tent camp

Beautiful weekend in the woods

What a magical camping spot! We spent the weekend at the creekside spot with friends. It was beautifully tucked into the woods (the fall colors were unreal!) and the perfect spot to put up a hammock, sit around the fire and enjoy sometime outside. We made coffee and french toast up by the pond in the warm sun in the morning – it was absolutely gorgeous! So many birds and frogs. We can’t wait to return!

Birch Camp

Private campsite, beautiful view

We loved our two night stay here - I didn’t want to leave! The top of the field is a beautiful site - well-mowed with several places to put a tent and a nice fire pit. We were able to string up the hammock as well between two trees. The fall colors with all the birch were lovely, and the view over the meadow out to the hills was beautiful. The walk from the parking lot was quite short, though the walk to the outhouse down by the pond is a bit farther. The site is so peaceful and private, and there are trails on the property if you want to walk around. We explored local farms in the area and enjoyed having this campsite as our base. We’d love to come back sometime!

Creekside tent camp

Creekside capmsite

The site was as described, it was secluded and private and our dogs could roam the area. There was lots of wood to use for a fire and we hiked the property and it was great!

Birch Camp

Sleeping among the wildflowers.

Sleeping among the wildflowers was a dream come true. The site is beautiful with views of the whole valley. William was kind, accommodating, and gave us space. There are spots to set up hammocks and plenty of space for tents. The walk from the road to the sight is short but if you don't want to carry stuff bring a cart. If you don't like bugs this isn't the spot for you, there are millions of crickets as you are sleeping in the tall but maintained grasses. Check for ticks as again this is an open field, I found one the size of a pinhead crawling on me while I was doing a routine check. I loved staying here. They keep nature wild. I saw deer, bunnies, different types of frogs. Peace and quiet were definitely achieved. I cant wait to go back.

One of the best!

Great site! Very private in a huge meqdow full of wild flowers. Very responsive host. I’ll be back for sure!

Birch Camp

Beautiful spot on the top of a hill! Great view of the meadow and mountains beyond. The site was nice and private and the swimming pond was great to have nearby. I’d recommend stopping by a Stewart’s Shop to get some firewood.
