Hickory Hollow

2 sites · Tents9 acres · Catskill, NY

Welcome to Hickory Hollow! Located 7 minutes from the Town of Catskill, 25 minutes from Hudson, and just under the Catskill Mountains, Hickory Hollow is the perfect campsite to take full advantage of the Upper Hudson Valley. There are two campsites you can chose from, both in clearings that make for great star gazing. Camp 1 is deeper into the forest taking about two minutes to walk to from the parking area. Camp site 2 is only a one minute walk but much closer to the farm. If you are coming with a dog, I would recommend staying at Camp site 1, as the farms dogs are very vocal when there are new friends in the area. Each campsite comes with a fire pit, a grate for cooking, and a picnic table. There is parking provided and a composting outhouse. You will need to bring your own firewood, though there is plenty of available kindling. The property is 9 acres and I encourage guests to hike down to the stream and take a walk if they feel comfortable. If not there are so many hiking/swimming options nearby and I am happy to point you in the right direction. This property has a been a life long dream of mine, and is (in my opinion) the most beautiful place on earth. That being said there is a still a lot of work that I am doing since this is a very new endeavor. So please watch yourself if you do decide to stay. The Hollow is beautiful but also very steep, so please be careful while you walk the woods. Pets are welcome, but again, be safe. There is an abundance of wildlife in the Hollow (see if you can spot the porcupine) but that can be very distracting for dogs, so be cautious when letting them off lead. Check out https://www.instagram.com/0hickoryhollow/ for photos of the progress.

Cozie Nook Homestead

2 sites · Tents110 acres · Ashfield, MA

A small family farm that has been in Dennis's family since 1914. The old county road once existed in front of our house. Where horses and wagons would stop to off load part of their load to continue up the hill. They would return to pick up the rest and continue on. Since inheriting the farm, we have moved towards sustainable farming. We follow grass fed measures while raising our sheep the poultry free ranges to control the flea and tick population on the farm. Our vegetables are grown organically. We harvest only what is needed to heat our home from the forest leaving under growth alone. Last fall almost a hundred acres, of our farm, went into land conservation protecting it from urban sprawl.

Quentins Treehouse

1 site · Lodging1 acre · Monterey, MA

Lake Garfield was named after President Garfield and was where he had his summer house. My place is the original boatshed of the house. The treehouse was built 15 years ago as a sleepout to watch the stars. It's a pretty quiet Lake up in the mountains of the Berkshires and sits at 1200feet so the nights get a little crisp which makes for a great night's sleep.

Overview

About

This intimate and secluded 175-acre state park features a sandy beach on Black River Pond. Hiking, biking and nature trails make it a peaceful alternative to other regional parks. Bridle paths provide enthusiastic equestrians with a quiet, wooded haven just 3 hours from Manhattan. The fishing is great here, with anglers landing bass, bullheads, and pickerel. Rent a boat, and drop your line.

In the winter, recreational adventures include ice fishing and cross-country skiing. The Capital District Wildlife Management Area surrounds the park. This gives visitors easy access to another 4,153 acres of forested land for restorative outdoor pursuits.

Located in Cherry Plain near the Massachusetts border, the park offers 10 lakeside tent sites, 10 trailer sites, and 10 "hike-in" tent sites for camping. A bathhouse and comfort station let campers tend to their needs, but it's also a great place to hang for the day.
