AROUND FOREST FARMS

Located in the fertile Schoharie Valley region at the foothills of the Catskills

ONSITE AMENITIES

Children will love to visit our Fairy & Gnome Glen, featuring fairy/gnome houses and lean-to's made out of items found in the forest. Guests are encouraged to enjoy existing and/or build their own fairy or gnome houses and lean-to's.

 

Birdwatchers will enjoy the many species that pass through and live in the forest and along the creek. We have already seen our resident bald eagle four times this spring.

Fossil hunters will find many treasures from the ancient world along the streambed, recently carved out by heavy rains.

OFF-GRID - many guests like that the Tentrr site is completely off-grid with no Wi-Fi, cell service or electricity. If you do need to connect, simply come down to the Visitor's Parking Area or book the Hipcamp site, both of which have access to Wi-Fi, Verizon cell phone service and electricity.

** No guns, weapons or fireworks are allowed on our property.

Other onsite activities include:

  • Explore the Little Schoharie Creek swimming holes, including waterfall with swimming hole;

  • Bicycle riding area for children;

  • Hiking paths;

  • Frog catching ponds; 

  • Potable water filling station;

  • Shitake Mushroom Farming Tour;

  • Free Wifi and Verizon cell service in the main parking lot, not at the Tentrr site. There is no service or electricity at the Tentrr Site.
