Autumn is Here Again!
It is the best time for outdoor activities such as camping in the Catskills at Big Wood in Acra, NY, for the small accommodations meets nature experience. Most people want to use this season to get out, explore and immerse themselves in local culture and live in nature. When camping in Acra, you can do just that. Just about 2 hours away from New York City, a short, fun road-trip, the drive up has beautiful mountain views, especially with the changing of the leaves.
The tent site of Big Wood is on a generational homestead which provides campers with access to numerous farm side amenities and services during their stay. The hosts offer campers a variety of amenities for their stay so that you don't have to travel with too many accommodations from home, leaving space for those local finds you may pick up when exploring the quaint mom and pop stores in the area.
When in season, they also have local honey and jams that have a pure, natural, wholesome taste to them.
With the campfire grill and fire pit, you can finally practice your outdoor grilling techniques and roast some marshmallows to make s'mores outside! They even offer a s'mores kit so you don't have to hunt down ingredients when you get there.
And campers can even bring along their four-legged fluffy friend! Now your dog can run around in the open meadow and get in touch with their true nature. Dogs need vacations too! At least once in their life, let them experience what it feels like to roam freely in the woods.
This campsite is also close to so many local activities, so you will always have something to do. There are local wineries, farmer's markets, and flea markets to visit. There are many hiking trails, big and small to explore, rock climbing, and seasonal biking, fishing and swimming.
The Big Wood is definitely a campsite worth checking out. It is not too far away from the big city and for a weekend, you can truly focus on nature and yourself, which is beneficial for your health and well-being. The hosts are insightful, gracious, and respond quickly to any questions or concerns campers may have about their trip. Cheers to Big Wood!
