My family went here our first time camping and we absolutely loved it. They had a bunch of farm animals for our toddler to check out during the day. The campground was fairly private with a short walk to the well maintained porta potty

beautiful farm property in upstate new york with lovely hiking trails and farm animals! if you're looking for a place to camp where you can wander in the forest and also still be close to the capital region and the catskills, look no further! 🙂 they have an epic vegetable garden, make their own maple syrup, grow their own mushrooms and have angora goats, a sweet horse, donkeys and the cutest dogs. the forest trails are really lovely, tons of native species and wild mushrooms to enjoy. highly recommend!! 🙂

Why rent a petting zoo when you stay at an organic farm! That was our thought and it worked out beautifully!
I can not rave enough about our experience and we went way too early in the season! We are big seclusion campers, and truly enjoyed the giant camp site with not a single other camper within ear or eye sight. I can't say smell, because the farm dog knew exactly where everyone was and when dinner started!

It was such an ease to book and just pull up. Didn't need to talk to anyone or check in. So nice!
After we hiked the Katterskills and stopped at Rip Van winkle brewery , we headed to camp. With everything still in early early spring, it's wasnt nearly as beautiful as it soon will be. We are excited to come back in a month. We were so tired Friday night we missed the animals. But they checked in with us in the morning and we were blessed to spend the a.m. feeding all sorts of animals!
The kids could not have had a better time!Jay was very informative and shared some great tips. Looking forward to learning more about the mushrooms in the fall. They have houses available for Airb&b , and a Nice cabin that you need to get 2months In advance on weekends, so check it out soon. They also have a Yurt on site for more glamping.
The animals are loved and very playful for farm animals. Beautiful and easy to access , making it really nice to be able to drive thru as you head to camp and still see everything. This is a must do for those seeking real life experiences.

I volunteered at magic forest farm for a summer and have come back periodically to visit in all four seasons- it’s a beautiful place, and Joan and jay are awesome hosts/farmers, who have always focused on how they can sustainably build their farm and community. The farm has so much to offer- private camping grounds and alternative dwellings, friendly farm animals, miles of private trails and if you’re lucky enough to catch Joan or jay in between them working on one of their many projects they have a wealth of knowledge on organic and sustainable farming, mushroom foraging, eco friendly/alternative construction and much more. The magic forest farm is great and I would recommend a visit to anyone!

What a wonderFULL experience at this beautiful oasis just 30 mins from Albany, NY! So much to explore and take in, secluded camping, unique stays like the yurt and tipi, friendly volunteers and Jason and Joan, the owners, are just amazing! I highly recommend for a quick getaway, longer stay, solo or group! There’s something for everyone 🙂

A perfectly serene place for a weekend camping trip, a romantic getaway, an educational family day trip, or a fantastic place to volunteer and REALLY learn alot! Jason and Joan are both incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, creative and it shows! Nearby nature preserves, lakes and other large mountains make Magic Forest Farm a perfect home base for adventuring on the property and in the surrounding area. Cannot recommend high enough.. tell em' bobby sent you 😉

The magic forest farm is awesome. They have great, private campgrounds, our hosts were very welcoming, and there was even live music! They also have their own private trails through the woods which are so beautiful. Will be visiting again

The views are pretty, the farm setup was cool, and the bathrooms (though few and far between) were decently clean. The listing says "there is potable water available," but when there wasn't I got a LOT of attitude from the host, asking if I thought "it was a commercial campground" (like no, it said there was potable water in the listing -- therefore I expected it?). She ended up allowing us to take some jugs of water to our campsite from her sink, but the attitude (and false listing?) was really unnecessary.
