Echo Hill is a unique camping experience because you will be camping in our private wildlife refuge. We only rent out one campsite at a time in our 100 acres of forested land, so you will have complete privacy. If you like to be alone in the woods this is the place for you. The white pine trees you see were planted by my parents over 60 years ago. We also have hiking trails throughout our wooded, rolling hills for you to explore.
It is a fantastic place to view wildlife. Our completely off-the-grid little rustic one-room cabin with a screened-in porch, by the wildlife pond, where you will camp, was built by hand by my father. (see photos) Experience our rewilding. Practice your bushcraft.
Writers, painters, musicians, and poets have created and composed in our rustic cabin by the pond. All Profits from the campsite go toward maintaining our native wildlife refuge. We are private property and not a public campground.
