Little Creek Camp is a unique place to relax, reconnect, or rejoice 'round the campfire. Little Creek Camp is a year-round ideal tenting spot for travelers, families and nature enthusiasts.
FREE Firewood. Bring your axe! We have provided fire-rings for you to use at your chosen tent site.
TENTS PREFERED
Tent sites: Park in the driveway and walk your gear to any spot you find comfortable. Your campsite depends on you.
Pull-behinds: ok to park where you see fit. Depending on recent weather, the ground may be too soft for RVs/Campers to turn around.
BYOBF 'Bring Your Own BIRD FEEDER'
The property is loaded with hummingbirds, songbirds, woodpeckers, even an owl on occasion… July through August is a very active time for these little guys, as they chipper and play near the Rhododendron bushes or the fruit trees in the hammock-hangout. Bring and hang a full hummingbird feeder, or any bird feeder, near your campsite for a closer look at our little friends.
Foraging on site: Wild Blackberry, Raspberry, Blueberry, mushroom, nuts… bring your NYS foraging guide! Come for the birds, the berries, or the foliage, please leave nothing but footprints.
THIS IS NOT A CAMPGROUND
This is a judgement free, welcoming space that should be respected.
There is no public restroom, a shovel can be provided
There is no electricity on site.
No running water other than the stream. It seems clear, but it is not safe to drink.
For shower: there is a public shower at the Beach House at Fair Haven State Park.
NO Hunting on site.
Please engage in 'active raccoon control' meaning, lock any food in the car before bed or when not in use. Raccoons are naturally shy animals that prefer to retreat when they sense humans nearby. Removing access to food sources is the most effective raccoon control.
Adventuring? Nearby attractions are a NYS specialty. This is a great location for anyone visiting Fair Haven Beach, Sterling Nature Center or nearby Chimney Bluffs. The NYS Renaissance Festival is only a few minutes’ drive.
