The best HIKE IN camping near
Field Crossing , NEW YORK

This is a beautiful campground! We go there every year and it was the first campground we took our first daughter at 5 months. We are bringing our second daughter this year! The sites and big enough foe the little ones to run around and has a cute little playground area. The bathrooms could use an upgrade but overall, they are great and clean.

Located in Port Crane, New York this is a brewery that allows dispersed camping in their paved parking area as long as you support their business. They have a food truck and unbelievable beer of all types. Make sure you call ahead at least one day in advance to ensure the owners are aware of your request to stay. The brewery is located near the Chenango river and offers great views of the farm next to the property. A great place to check out!!

Awesome camping resort. Seasonal rates are excellent. We stayed from April until October then decided to stay over winter. They have a small winter section. You'll have the entire mountain side all to yourself! Snowshoe, cross country ski. Winter campfires. Owners Mike and Sherri are great. Dumpsters, laundry with coin machine. Very remote. Windy as all get out. Elevation about 1409 feet. View of the sunrise over the entire valley are awesome. Very very cool place. Some summer residents are a bit into their music, mostly on weekends. Bring your golf cart and beer cooler 🙄. Cov… I'm not saying that word, reduced activities here but it was still awesome. Two ponds to fish in, one you can swim in, kid friendly small pool, horseshoes and huge field to hit golf balls in with 3 holes. Pet friendly. Kid friendly. Huge club house and store that was closed for the big. Arcade, grill, pool table and small store. Lp gas. Wifi is so so. Backed up to state forest land. Enjoy!!!

Camped here on a Thursday night in late September. Only found one designated campsite, which was available, but there’s a lot of good space for dispersed camping right nearby. Access at the end of a long, but well maintained, dirt road. Campsite consists of a fire pit and picnic table. Some litter, not too bad. No toilets. Bugs aren’t an issue. Water access at a lovely nearby pond. Highly recommended. Only giving 4 stars because the best free sites have water pumps and vault toilets, but this is a great camping experience

There are 75 campsites here. About 20 are around the actual pond waterfront. The others are clustered closer to the ranger’s office. The north campsites are more private but walk up only. That’s where we stayed. Equipped with very large bear boxes to store your equipment and we had no problem fitting our 55L cooler in there. Also the north campsites have their own outhouses. But we walked to the public area anyway. (5min walk max) the paths are smooth and well maintained. Public Facilites were clean and warm showers were available. Nice beach area with rentable watercraft. Dog friendly except in public use space. Few trail heads in the area. Loved the staff.

Must be prepared :)

I had a great time on a one night stay here at site 36. Very private and right on the pond. You can see a picture here of the water just a 10 foot trail away from our campsite. All in all a great trip. If you’re bringing a dog be sure to have your rabies vaccine info available as they will check. The listing here advertises cell service, however there is no cell service as soon as you turn into the park. I didn’t even find an area where I could temporarily send and receive messages, which would be fine except that I left a pregnant wife at home. Any of the sites along the water would be really nice and all sites are fairly private. The site next to mine (37) is possibly the most private of the pond side sites. The only people who would go past your site are the folks walking to the walk-in only sites. Definitely recommend the area if you’re looking for some privacy but not worried about not seeing another soul during your stay.

We live in Rochester NY, looking to get out and disconnect in the wilderness. Rich, the host was amazing in every way. The camp site was perfect and close to many wonderful hikes. Highly recommend. We will be back for sure!!

Rich is great ! Loved talking to him and hearing his life story. Very cool guy !! Me my wife and our two children 9,12 had a blast ! It's rough camping (bucket toilet) but the camp is gorgeous. The pond with the pedal boat was a hit with the kids and the other campers were great. We had everything we needed and Rich suggestions to explore the area were spot on ! We had the whole camp for ourselves the next day. Book it !!

I wanted to do some camping and hiking in this area. DevilDoc Campsite was perfect for my needs. I meet my brother here and we had a great weekend hiking. Rich, the owner, was exceptionally knowledgeable and a very gracious host. We will camp here again.
