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.
In addition, there are 4 pop-up tents; 2 on a wooden platform pond side for 2 people in each tent. And another 2 on grassy ground, also for 2 people in each tent. The cost is $25 per 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.
