Tent camping here was so much fun!! We felt very welcome by everyone we met. They were in the middle of opening up the Rail Train Cafe so we missed having that super close, but being right on the rail trail was awesome!! We brought out pup Mackey and left him off leash most of the time. Cute campsites with fire circles and running water close by at the cafe, and a very short drive to downtown New Paltz! Gwyneth, thank you for having us :)

Kind people, cool place
Camped here on the way to total eclipse in early April and liked it enough to stay again on the return trip. Fell asleep to the chirping of spring peepers and woke to the honking of geese. Hiked up to the conglomerate "slabs" behind camp to greet sunrise over a lovely vista. Walked a mile and a half on the rail trail right beside camp to the spectacular view from Rosendale Trestle 150 ft over Rondout Creek. Traveled in the other direction and saw the bridge from A Quiet Place (movie). Wandered the grounds surrounding camp, saw people practicing trapeze, and chatted with kind, happy, and helpful farm sojourners. Easy to find tent site at Red Fox Meadow if you follow directions on hipcamp, arrive in daylight, and are comfortable figuring things out on your own (each night of my stay, another camper arrived after dark and ended up camping in the parking lot). My visit was between rains and the meadow was muddy, but not a problem finding some high ground and using tarp/footprint under tent. I was the only camper in the meadow each night. Clean toilets, sinks, and showers (2 of each) in the new bath house. Hope to return with my bike and cycle the whole Walkill Valley Rail Trail right outside my tent's vestibule!

Beautiful spot! Great walking opportunities. Relaxing places to sit and enjoy surroundings. And the Wi-Fi is very very helpful.

I feel like the listed amenities for this site are not correct. Perhaps this is a fun spot in the summer when the rail trail cafe is open. The entirety of the property is pretty strange with half finished buildings and projects everywhere, it was a little hard to figure out. The meadow where you are supposed to camp is so muddy and buggy, we decided to sleep in our car. Even if it wasn’t so muddy, I can’t imagine any part of the field ever being level for a tent to sit comfortably. I guess the water isn’t running for the season yet in early April? It’s a shame this wasn’t expressed to us since access to water is a huge reason to book a campsite. I tried reaching out to the host for clarification on the water situation, but they never answered me. The toilets were fairly disgusting, which isn’t too surprising for portapotties, unfortunately they also didn’t have TP. My husband and I had a rough night here.

The place was great and abundant with amenities. They had a hiking trail thay was immersed in nature. It was clean and organized. It also had a small cafe and i think a bath house. Left early bc didnt feel like packing in the rain but overall a nice place to camp.
