Weekend Trip to Hucklebuck Railway Campsites

Everything was well tended. They were very welcoming and helpful with any needs we had. Our campsite was outfitted nicely with all the camping amenities we could need and has a great hiking trail & river access.

Weekend Trip to Hucklebuck Railway Campsites

Great camp site with so much included! The tent is well maintained and the mattress is new. We didn't need the second big tent, but would be good if we had friends with us. And the hosts are super friendly and very responsive if you need more gas for the grill, water, or wood for the fire pit. Would highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to Forest Treasure Island

We had a great camping experience in the woods! The property is beautiful, with its own farm, garden, and cozy patios equipped with BBQ grills—perfect for relaxing and enjoying nature. Even though we were switched from the Cabbage Tent to a regular tent, our host Diana went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Her hospitality truly made the stay memorable. Highly recommend!

1 night at Hucklebuck Railway Campsites

We ended up staying a day later because the place was so lovely. Lots of different kind of plants everywhere. The swim hole was lovely. This had everything my small family wanted - a simple and beautiful vacation. The fireflies add to the magic at dust. I love that it's just 30 minutes from me as well.

1 night at Forest Treasure Island

My cousin and I rent camped on Jan’s property and it was the highlight of our camping trip. They were lovely, welcoming, and we felt safe and slept well. The animals were fun to watch and play with. Thanks again!

2 nights at Hucklebuck Railway Campsites

The campsite was great, didn’t need to bring much. The tarp covering the kitchen/dining area excellent for shade or rain. Trail to river was easy and marked, Everything was as described. The pre-arrival instructions very helpful. The hosts, Paula and Bill, communicated well and readily available. Would definitely visit again.

Weekend Trip to Humble Farm with Simplicity

This site is exactly as described and pictured! Both hosts - Mary and Viktor - were extremely kind and welcoming. Yes, there was another group camping in the paddock BUT there's enough space that there was still plenty of privacy (more than a public campground). There was plenty of firewood provided at a reasonable $10. Everything was clean. Would definitely camp here again!

Weekend Trip to Upper Shire Campsites Hudson Valley

Everything was amazing , a frame was good and peaceful atmosphere

Weekend Trip to Forest Treasure Island

Nice spot in a beautiful woody area with various barnyard animals and a play structure for kids. Very friendly and helpful hosts!

Weekend Trip to Forest Treasure Island

Had a great time camping at forest treasure island. Kids went exploring all over the woods and especially loved the farm animals and playground!

1 night at Two Herons Farm

Self check-in was a breeze. Nice camper with a great view of a working farm. Very quite. The tour of the farm was very nice and the family’s hospitality was very welcoming.

Weekend Trip to Forest Treasure Island

Camp site was nice, Jan and her family were so welcoming! Our kids got along really well and they had so much fun! We went fishing on Norwalk River and that was fun too! Campsite had a nice sized tent and blow up mattresses for us to use! We also got t Fresh farm eggs from the chickens on property and enjoyed them for breakfast!

Weekend Trip to Forest Treasure Island

We had an excellent stay at Jan and Diana’s! The tents are in the forest yet close to their house which gave us both privacy and the opportunity to use their amazing backyard which our kids loved - playground, farm animals, sandbox… The tents were ready for us and spacious. Jan and Diana were there that weekend and very kind, helping out whenever we needed - they got us dish soap which we had forgotten, offered that we use veggies from their garden etc. We ordered the breakfast which turned out to be an excellent brunch.

3 nights at Upper Shire Campsites Hudson Valley

This was my second stay at this wonderful property. However this time we stayed in the new cabin which was super nice and tastefully set up. The cabin is very close to the showers which are also very nice and modern. The bed here is very comfortable. But I'd say the sofa, which flattens out, is not very comfortable for an adult. small kids probably won't care! All in all a very pretty property and close to a quaint town of Hillsdale for your needs.

Weekend Trip to Glamping @ Meadow Ridge Farm

We loved camping here and will definitely be back! The space was easy to find (even in the dark, thanks to the helpful directions). Our site was secluded, quiet, and very peaceful. We loved all the trees, birds, and chipmunks. Additionally, the site was very well equipped. We appreciated the water, firewood & starters, bathroom and solar shower. It rained on and off during our stay, and the tent was 100% waterproof. Thank you for the lovely weekend :)

Weekend Trip to Glamping @ Meadow Ridge Farm

Me and my friends come here every year and we love it. It’s secluded so there’s no noise curfew, lots of space for tents, the stove in the big tent is great for cold nights, and Tiffany is always helpful when we need extra firewood. We make it a point to go see the cows during our visit, it’s our favorite part. This year we were happy to find wine in our tent from the host. We are so appreciative of how welcome we feel coming here. I’d recommend this place to anyone needing a weekend away in nature.

1 night at Forest Treasure Island

What an incredible and unexpected local find! Our stay at this luxury farm was truly one-of-a-kind. From the moment we arrived via long wooden driveway we were welcomed with genuine warmth. Next morning we ordered breakfast but it turns more like lunch , and that was fantastic , if you are Eastern European please go there for real home made tvarog and real sour cream , milk with cream on top, can’t believe it’s still possible to find. We got 3 kinds of tea with 4 options for sugaring , 3 kinds of honey , all organica /GMOs free item , with home made 3 kinds of beads. That lunch was true luxury gourmet pleasure not just meal . Every foodie should go there just to have that experience)). The property itself is a nature lover’s paradise — with an astonishing variety of rare bird breeds roaming freely, including vibrant peacocks that added a magical touch to the scenery. Alongside them were friendly goose , goats and other farm animals, creating a peaceful, countryside charm that both adults and children would adore. 17 min to ocean The accommodations were spotless, with all brand-new, thoughtfully selected items for a comfortable night’s sleep but bring our bedding /piloows This isn’t your ordinary farm stay; it’s a unique experience blending nature, culture, and quiet luxury. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone seeking something refreshingly different than just camping Have to add that Germans puppies just so fun for any age to play with

Weekend Trip to Maple Corner Farm

What a great site. We had a great time and David and his dad are lovely.

Weekend Trip to Forest Treasure Island

Stayed here for one night with a buddy and our four girls, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home. The girls had an absolute blast—especially playing with the adorable puppies, roasting marshmallows around the campfire, and hanging out in the spacious tent. The site was comfortable, well set up, and perfect for a quick escape. We’re already talking about when we can come back. Highly recommend!
