Reviews
The campground was nice and rustic. Plenty of lovely trails to hike. There are all sorts of beautiful and unique animals that you can feed or just look at. The peacocks 🦚 and ducks were my favorite. Dog friendly, and when the skies are clear, the sunsets and sunrises are picturesque. If there are no clouds at night, you can see numerous stars and even identify constellations if you know what to look for. Would recommend this lovely place and would visit again!

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

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!

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.
