Activities & FAQ
What activities are available?
Currently, we offer primitive tent camping, tiny cabin camping, with RV/Motorhome sites coming in future. There is sufficient room to park & camp with almost any vehicle, although 4WD for now would be best, but our driveways are constantly being developed so check in with us for more details.
Is hunting allowed on-site?
Although we cant allow hunting on the premises because of other guests, you can still stay/camp with us & use the thousands of acres of state land down the road.
What amenities are provided?
None just yet, but there is a beautiful creek bordering the land that you utilize water from if you like. We now have a porta-potty on site & soon porta-sink & shower.
Are pets allowed?
Yes, pets are welcome, you can bring a T-Rex if you like, just keep things clean & safe for everyone around.

Basic layout of property
Camping Info
Use a prepared tent site or choose your own spot, (within the territory you're staying at.)
FYI-as you head toward back of property, elevation is lower, more level, relative to the streams water.
In future, we will have water supply, electric and septic for RV's.
Fishing Info
The stream bordering the camp offers some seasonal casual fishing, but there are also close-by resources with more opportunities for fishing, such as Long Pond State Forest, (has ice-fishing also), Genegantslet Creek, & more; but if your just camping out with the family, and the season is right, you should be able to just drop a line in our creek (Strongs Brook).
Long Pond State Forest Fishing Info
Chain pickerel, largemouth bass and tiger musky are the main game fish found in Long Pond. Black crappie, yellow perch, bluegill and pumpkinseed sunfish can also be found in the pond. Long Pond is a very popular ice fishing location. A former State record tiger musky was caught in Long Pond in 1983.
Nearby Strong Brook (bordering our campground), and Pond Brook are trout streams that course through the forest. The 28-acre glacial Round Pond also has fish to tempt anglers. Long Pond is stocked annually with approximately 350 tiger musky. Statewide fishing regulations apply.
