Tentrr Signature Site - Calico Ridge, Sap Bush Hollow

Pining for unspoiled wilderness? Keep searching. If you long to experience a working wilderness, where generations of families have learned to live in harmony with nature, where quirky locals carve lives on the fringe of the traditional economy so they have more time for cherishing nature & local food, you've found the perfect escape. Calico Ridge is a remote campsite hideaway, but it is part of Sap Bush Hollow Farm, where we raise grassfed & pastured meats, & operate a farm-to-table cafe & espresso bar on weekends. The campsite is located just off our private 3 mile hiking trail, which meanders along the mountaintops and down through our valley floor, along the banks of a babbling brook. We are only 1 hour from Albany, and 45 minutes from Cooperstown. Come for unparalleled views, wildlife, and to occasionally share some pasture with our grazing sheep. We'll help you find the nearby waterfalls, swimming holes, hiking trails, music, farm-to-table restaurants, artisans, farm stands, as well as the local cidery, brewery, amazing potato vodka & a perfect latte. The Space: Mountains, stream, forests, & hiking trails tucked away on family farm in the Northern Catskills: near amazing food, drink & swimming holes Guest Access: This is an exclusive Tentrr Signature campsite. Tentrr partners with land owners to offer unique accommodations in beautiful outdoor spaces. Our campsites are off-the-grid which means they generally do not have access to electricity, wifi, or modern plumbing. Instead, they offer the chance to relax, unplug, and fully experience nature! Your Tentrr campsite includes a 10'x12' (120 square feet) safari-style canvas tent on a raised wooden platform. Inside the tent you'll find one queen bed or a queen-size bunk bed (see photos for the exact setup). The tent is big enough for the bed plus one or two extra sleeping bags on the floor. Aside from the canvas tent, campers can also use the extra 5-person pop-up dome tent that___s provided. You'll also have a 6-ft picnic table, outdoor fire pit, 2 Tentrr Adirondack chairs, and a heating source to keep you warm and toasty at night. Group Camping: We welcome campers with larger parties, but the standard Tentrr setup only includes the canvas tent plus the additional pop-up dome tent. You may need and are encouraged to bring additional camping gear of your own if you plan on camping with a large party. Max Occupancy: This refers to the total number of campers allowed onsite with your reservation. You may have as many campers in your party up to the maximum limit that is set for the listing, but please note that the only bed provided as a standard amenity is the one set up inside the canvas tent. Toilets: Every campsite is equipped with a camp toilet (we call it the Tentrr Loo). This is a simple wooden box with a toilet seat and a bucket inside. To use, line the bucket with a CleanWaste Sani-Bag supplied at the camp prior to use. Afterwards, simply tie the bag up and place it in a trash bag. CleanWaste Sani-Bags use a NASA-developed gelling/deodorizing agent that helps prevent spills and keeps everyone safe and clean. Showers: Every Signature campsite comes with a Coleman Sun Shower. The sun shower has a reservoir that holds up to 5 gallons of water, potentially enough for multiple showers. It's constructed of heat-locking material that warms the water when it's left in the sun, even on cool days. What you should bring: -S'mores supplies & any food you'd like to eat -A cooler to keep your grub from spoiling -Bedding and pillows -Lanterns and lighting -Firewood for the campfire Interaction with Guests: Upon check out, you should leave-no-trace of your stay and be sure your campsite is returned to its natural glory! While Tentrr does not charge a cleaning fee, we do expect campsites to be left how they were found. After you check out, take everything you brought in and be sure to leave your trash at the designated location on the property. If a CampKeeper submits an incident report after your stay that details evidence of trash or damage to the campsite or the CampKeeper___s property, Tentrr reserves the right to charge a minimum cleaning fee of $50. Just make sure to follow the Camper Manual posted at your campsite and you'll be set!
