Overlook Forest Camp - CAMPSITE - OPEN!

We are open! Visit (Website hidden by Airbnb) and insta majesticfarmheritage to get a sense of the grounds. You can also purchase wood, meats and so on. Hike five minutes into the forest to our most remote camping site. Pitch your tent in a deeply wooded area overlooking a cliff . Beautiful private spot. About an 8 minute walk (you'll pass on your way to the site) there is a very remote and private shared outdoor shower, outhouse, kitchen with potable water and spot you can plug in to charge near the farm house. This is an active farm - so you can enjoy spending time among the orchard trees and observing the chickens and pigs. This site includes a fire pit and picnic table. We can provide wood for $10 but it is deeply wooded, so you can also forage for wood all around. You would bring all your own tent gear and cooking items. There is a grate to put over the fire for cooking. There is a shared kitchen near the outhouse area with fridge, range and sink (please bring all your own cook and dining wear) or you can keep it rustic and cook with a grate we have provided for your private fire pit. This is a very woodsy site. You will experience sounds, sites and happenings including animals such as deer, bald eagles, turtles, porcupines, beavers, chipmunks, squirrels, frogs, toads, snakes and more. This area does also have bears & coyotes. We advise not to leave food out at night. There are many insects around and about, so if you don't want their company - bring bug sprays! As we are an active farm you will likely hear rooster crow, a tractor hum, geese and ducks and pigs as you explore the property. Sometimes during the day we do run the tractor to mow or spray the orchard (organic actually involves lots of spraying of clay, nee and natural products to protect the apples). Please carry out what you carry in and leave it clean for the next group. We deep clean and sanitize between all visitors - and are currently keeping quite a distance to protect you, the site and everybody involved. The campsite is completely yours. No other campers would be near the site. You also can enjoy walking in the orchard and down the road that leads to the farm house. In addition there is a shared outdoor shower, an outhouse and a wash sink you can utilize. The shared kitchen is also open for your use. Please keep clean for your fellow campers and bring all your own cookware and dishware. FALL/WINTER advisory - if it is below freezing - the water features won’t be running. We are always around the farm and our house if you need us, but will stay well out of your way so you can enjoy the open space and woods around. The property is a 5 minute drive to the hamlet of Mountaindale, @ visitmountaindale, which has a lovely Rail Trail for hikes and bikes, and some excellent dining options including @ highvoltagecatskills, a cafe bar that serves delicious modern Polish American comfort food, great cocktails, @ Baandme, A Vietnamese Restaurant, @ thedaleNY a pizza restaurant and bar ran by Wayside Cider. For shopping you can also stop by @ forageandgather - they have foods, meats, goumet deli and cofee 6 days a week (closed Mondays) and a little wine and spirits shop. Also stop by @ ambikaboutique and get some hand crochet bikinis or angora hats and vintage clothing. Check out a full herbal apothecary @ witcheyhandmade, and @ yinspiritualcenter along with a few local art galleries, a coffee shop and so much more! There's some excellent hiking nearby at the Neversink Unique Area in Rock Hill or Bashakill Nature Preserve in Wurtsboro. Also some nice swim spots in the area, message us for recommendations. You’ll drive down our drive way and pass our house on the right. Then you’ll continue to the yard, pass the sink/bathroom/shower and continue it to an open dirt parking area. From there you can park in the general area, or continue a little further to the near corner of the orchard. You'll park and then continue to walk down along the fence on left, orchard on the right until you come to a small green gate labeled "Overlook Camp". Follow the signs/green markings and reflectors to your site. Bring a lantern and flashlight as it is quite dark at night! You can purchase fire wood near the parking area. Please bring cash to utilize our contact-free wood service. We also have meats, apples (seasonally) and a tandem bike -$15 for rent. Just message us for details! Can leave cash in house or pay with Ven. If you plan to use the shared kitchen (or cook yourself over your fire) please bring any cooking and dishware. This is a very woodsy site.

We clean between all visitors - and are currently keeping quite a distance to protect you, the site and everybody involved and appreciate your efforts to keep the shared spaces fresh for each guest. PLEASE NOTE: Our Organic u-Pick Orchard is open from around mid-August through October. Only during this time, the orchard is open to ticket holders, so there are folks from the community picking apples on Saturday/Sundays during day hours (10a-4p) in the orchard. Your site is private, but it is next to the orchard so you'd be sharing shared spaces with u-pickers during open hours. During the week the orchard is closed to the community - so if you are camping weeknights you get to private pick! We provide a free bag of apples to all campers when the apples are ripe, and you are welcome to walk the orchard and eat apples during your stay.
