Glamping at Blind Buck

Camping with real beds and hot and cold running water, esp. the lovely hot, outdoor showers was lots of fun. With everything solar powered our site was like a fairyland at night. Adding to the fun was a visit with several farm animals and lots of chickens who shared their fresh eggs. Great trip for all in our group which ranged from 4 years old to 74.

Wonderful escape

The glamping site was a perfect location for a friend's reunion. Four moms and eight kids with plenty of room for everyone. The kids loved the freedom to roam and the moms loved that all the details were taken care of us! Camping without having to worry about all the essentials made it totally stress-free!!

Though miles might separate us, we are a close-knit family that gathers as frequently as we can at our farm, where we have spent countless Holidays and made priceless memories.

Why they chose this property

Blind Buck Valley Farmstead is a family-run and female-owned farm stay experience that aims to allow friends and family to gather together, relax, unplug, and enjoy nature. The Glamping Site is the newest way to enjoy the farm, offering you a chance to camp without leaving behind the simple luxuries of home.

Currently, BBVF is home to two horses, two ponies, two donkeys, two families of goats, two pigs, a variety of chickens, and three barn cats. We also host cows courtesy of our friends at OverEast Family Farm from spring to fall. Guests can enjoy farm tours, wagon rides, visits to our Chicken Coop, garden and pumpkin patch, and so much more while on the farm.

BBVF is conveniently located within a short drive to an array of fun activities such as swimming, kayaking, fishing, outlet shopping, brewery hopping, spas, antique shops and more. Take day trips to nearby Saratoga Springs, Lake George and Manchester, VT, then come back and relax at your private glamping site.

What makes this property unique

The farm is a truly magical place that is impossible to fully understand until you experience it yourself. Some of our favorite memories are visiting the animals and collecting fresh eggs for breakfast from the Chicken Coop, building fires and making s'mores around the outdoor fire pit, hiking in the surrounding hills, and spending time together playing lawn games and cards.
