​A fun and relaxing outdoor adventure awaits you! Your Tentrr campsite is located on the grounds of the old Catskill Game Farm, a world famous zoo that closed in 2006. It's a beautiful campsite that offers you the chance to relax, unplug, and experience nature! You can learn more about the property history here.

FOOD AND ACTIVITIES

• Our County has an Amazing Tourism Website which can show you some of the great things to do in the area!

• We have also already put together Our List of Favorites, which can be found here

• There are 25+ miles of maintained trails off of our property. They are maintained by the Round Top Mountain Bike Association but are used for hiking as well. If you plan to explore them we recommend downloading the Trail Forks App, which then will allow you to be able to follow this map on your phone. The Old Game Farm connects to the “Jurassic Trail” which is a blue trail in the lower right corner when the map first loads on your phone. Your camp-keeper will be able to help direct you to this trail if you are interested.

  • You may need to create an account with trail-forks, if so it only takes a minute or two and is free. Then re-click on the link above to access the map.

WAIVERS - We will need one filled out and signed before you arrive, they must be received via email 72+ hours before your arrival. We will need one completed for each person coming that day-including children (we would love to save paper and ink but this is necessary). You can download it or electronically sign it. Sign Waiver Here.

 

 

BEDDING - We are glad to supply you with a memory foam mattress to enjoy during your stay. We do ask that you please supply your own bedding (including Queen Sheets). This will help you stay comfortable and us to keep the site clean for future guests.

EXPLORING THE ZOO

• MOATS - The African area has several moats you should be aware of. The fencing which used to protect the public from them is no longer intact. It is very important you are aware of their locations (please see map).

• We ask that you do not explore it after dark as there are many hazards.

• Please refrain from using your vehicle to explore the abandoned zoo.

• Although the TENTRR sites are outside the defunct zoo, if you choose to go into the zoo areas, please note there are certain buildings and areas labeled as private (Please see souvenir map) please respect the fact that we don't want people in them.  They are our private spaces, we keep the buildings locked and the private areas labeled.  

 

 

CHILDREN - When bringing children into the abandoned zoo area please be aware that many of the areas were not designed for the public, as well as much of the protective fencing on the property no longer exists. Please keep a close eye on your children, do not let them roam without supervision and do not let them climb on anything, as it may be unsafe for them and could damage equipment around the property.

 

 

DOGS - All of our Tentrr sites are pet friendly. All dogs must be leashed when walking around the property.

​

GARBAGE - In the back right corner of the large parking lot there is a gate with dumpsters. Upon check-out, please drop your garbage off at the dumpsters. There is a regular garbage and recycle dumpster.
