Joe's Hideaway is located on the 100+ acre French Woods Farm. The several acre “glamorous” camping compound sits at the end of a half mile private road.
We love to host large groups. Plenty of space for cars and motorcycles. We offer 3 spacious all-season cabin tents, and a heated recreational cabin on the shore of a deep-water pond with a bonfire peninsula.
Each tent is secured to a roofed, heavy timbered post and beam platform, has its own private camp fire pit and is privately situated away from the other tent platforms. One tent has a king bed, another a queen, and the third has queen bunk beds.
The Adirondack sided recreation cabin with a screened porch has a queen bed and twin bunks sleeping a total of 4.
The site accommodates 12 for $390 a night with a 2 night minimum. We offer a 10% discount if you stay for 7 nights.
There are 2 wooden platforms pond side which you could use for your own 2 tents. And there is room for another 2 on grassy ground. The cost is $25 per additional person per night and the maximum guest count is 20. Let us know if your group slightly exceeds this number.
Within walking distance, there is a heated double bathhouse with hot and cold running water, and each bathroom has a sink, shower, and conventional flush toilet.
We provide mattresses with mattress covers and pillows. You bring sleeping bags, sheets, pillow cases, towels, and whatever you need for your comfort.
Don't forget to pack your life jackets for pond and river activities. We do not provide boats or any other water apparatus, and recreation is at your own risk. There is a river outfitter in Hancock where you can rent kayaks and canoes.

This campsite is amazing. Clean, spacious, and secluded. Joe met us right as we arrived and went over everything we needed to know. All the supplies were there, plenty of pillows!

Thank you very much! Glad you all had a good experience.
Exceeded expectations! Joe has created a wonderful spot to get away from the world and comfortably enjoy natural surroundings. He's a great host and we will be visiting again!
My family and I had a fantastic stay at Joe's Hideaway. The site is perfectly situated and incredibly comfortable. Joe has thought of everything you might need for an amazing experience. He was very responsive and truly went above and beyond as a host. The stars, the fire pits, and the bullfrogs in the pond were especially magical.
We can't wait to come back!

Thank you very much, Sarah! We look forward to hosting your family again. Happy summer!
Myself and my guests stayed at both Joe's Hideaway and the upper adirondack cabin. Both places were incredible, well-equipped, and perfectly set up. Rosie and Joe think of everything people might need during their stay. Joe met us upon check-in to show us the lay of the land, providing us with cases of water and ice to get our coolers started. He texted periodically throughout the weekend to make sure we had no issues and to make sure we were enjoying our stay. He even showed up one evening with giant sticky buns from a local farm! We had an amazing time at this location and I have never stayed with more hospitable hosts. We hope to come back soon. Thank you Joe and Rosie!!!

Thank you so much! We'd love to host you and your group again.
It started with great communication about the property and quick answers to my questions. The property was very easy to find with the directions given. My family booked two nights here for my husband's birthday. As we pulled in to the hideaway, we weren't disappointed. This place is absolutely stunning! The pond is gorgeous and very easily accessible to really fun bass fishing. The birch wood beds in the large tents are super comfortable and the covered platforms the tents are under are just beautiful. The bath house was clean and water pressure was great for showering. Seeing a homemade plate of cinnamon rolls as a gift from Joe was awesome as we forgot to bring the birthday cake! The bullfrogs sing you to sleep and if you are lucky,you hear an owl and some coyotes in the evenings. We even had a family of deer pay a morning visit. Joe has really thought of everything, we look forward to another visit.
