**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 3 - Magic Forest Farm Camp
Camping in a tent at the farm
We camped in a tent at this location which had access to nice hiking trails. There were other spots on the property for people to be at including a tipi, yurt, house and tent sites. We had a plenty of privacy. porta johns were close by and an outdoor shower a quick walk to. The animals are fun for the kids to see especially peacocks! The dog was super friendly and joined us on our hike! Make sure you go to the "stage " to see the beautiful view.

Magic Forest Farm Yurt
Great time at the Yurt
It was our first experience camping at the Yurt - very nice and safe, quiet (not many people around) and nice hikes around the property. Watching farm animals, including singing peacocks, is definitely quite exciting.

Site 4 Magic Forest Far Forget-Me-Not Spot
One of our all-time favorite Hipcamps! Joan was super responsive and helpful and we were in love with the property. Sites were all very private and spread out. We’ll be back!

Site 1 - Magic Forest Farm Camp
We had a wonderful time at the Magic Forest Farm. My friends and I haven't gotten together to camp in years. Normally we just go wilds camping but to save on the hassle we decided to rent a site. We had plenty of space for our four tents, a nice firepit, and we purchased some wood which was super handy and closeby site 1. We had a wonderful time cooking by the fire and stargazing at the overlook just up the road. Perfect little spot for tent camping!
