**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. Nearby Hiking Spots: Holt Preserve - 1.2 miles away Thatcher State Park- 9.4 miles Huyck Preserve- 11 miles Hannacroix Creek Preserrve- 8.4 miles Nearby Swimming Spots: Hannacroix Creek Preserve- 8.4 miles Kaaterskill Falls- 24 miles Thompsons Lake- 10 miles North-South Lake- 24 miles Parking: multiple car parking are available at each site.

Site 4 Magic Forest Far Forget-Me-Not Spot
Very private with lots of room
This was such an incredibly cool spot, I wish we had been able to get to it sooner. Not having to check in made it perfect for our unpredictable schedule with our roadtrip. We arrived after dark and left before the sun had fully come up so we only got to know it in the glow of a campfire, but it was very clean and nice. Very quiet and felt like we could relax and let the dogs relax too. The site was very private with plenty of room for multiple tents.

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
