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!

1 night at Maple Corner Farm

Perfect platform, good distance from the road, beautiful site with adirondack chairs and space for a fire. It was all we could have asked for. Thank you Dave!

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!

Weekend Trip to Woodland's Edge Glamping & Hot Tubs

I can't tell you how grateful I was for Andrea (and her whole family)'s hospitality. We were through-hiking the Robert Frost Trail and ran into some weather and other issues. We arrived terribly late at night, soaking wet, with nonfunctional phones. I don't want to describe all the "trail magic" they provided because I don't want to set unreasonable expectations for future campers. But my friend and I would not have been able to continue our hike the next day without their unexpected kindness and help. My only complaint is that we had to leave fairly early as well and didn't have a chance to properly enjoy this sweet little place! So I hope to come back another time!!

The Cabbage Tent glamping property offers a fantastic experience. A peaceful and unique getaway in the woods awaits. The host, Jan, provides a warm welcome.. Jan was incredibly helpful and provided amazing hospitality. The glamping tent is nestled in the woods. Comfortable bed frames and all the necessary amenities are provided for a cozy night's sleep. The property has a charming farm atmosphere. Roosters, chickens, and bunnies roam freely, adding to the experience. The play area has a swing and other fun activities for kids. Fire logs are available, allowing for a cozy campfire in the evenings. Jan offered fresh eggs to take away in the morning. The Cabbage Tent glamping experience exceeded expectations. The combination of nature, comfortable accommodations, and Jan's exceptional hospitality made for a memorable trip.

Weekend Trip to Upper Shire Campsites Hudson Valley

We loved camping at Upper Shire! The cabin was amazing. It was cozy and had all of the amenities that we needed and then some! It was well built and very cute. We definitely recommend taking the canoe out on the little pond. It was gorgeous. Joanna was extremely hospitable. We are definitely coming back.

The site, the host, the facility overall was everything I expected and more. Very nice stay and plan to return.

Weekend Trip to Humble Farm with Simplicity

Great spot! Mary was warm and welcoming. The site was as described , quite lovely.

Weekend Trip to Upper Shire Campsites Hudson Valley

The A-frame was impeccably clean, spacious and gave our family of 4 real protection from the wet weather we encountered when visiting. The outhouse in a v short walk away, as were the very welcome showers. There was a Jackery power source and everything was very easy. Note that you are aware of other campers from nearby sites, as the Cabin and AirStream are very close by: it didn't bother us, as the guests were very courteous and easygoing. I would only comment that the futon couch didn't work for us to sleep both of our children (5&7), as it was rather small for them.

1 night at Holiday Hill

We absolutely loved camping here! The lean-to’s are spacious and it was great to have the tent off the ground. Everything in the site was clean and well-equipped. So grateful to have firewood included in the reservation. The grounds were beautiful to explore and the host, Jesse, was so friendly and helpful. We would absolutely come back and bring friends next

We were lucky enough to be the first official visitors to Joanna’s new cabin! Great campgrounds, well maintained. Loved the outdoor shower and the cabin was very comfortable. Joanna is a great host and very responsive. The location is wonderful. We look forward to coming back!

Weekend Trip to Hucklebuck Railway Campsites

Well equipped and comfortable site. Lots of old logging trials and right along the river for fishing and swimming. It was too cold to swim in May but July or August would be great to wade in the river. The site is secluded so there’s plenty of privacy.

Weekend Trip to Hucklebuck Railway Campsites

Well equipped site on a beautiful property. We traveled with a 6 and 3 year old. It is also very Dog friendly with dog runs and leads!

Weekend Trip to Forest Treasure Island

Great hospitality from Mary & Victor. The horses were friendly to my dog & I. There are also chickens on the site as well. You can tell a lot of thought was put into the cabin. It’s very homey & cozy. I stayed for one night and going to stay for more whenever I need a getaway! Recommend. :)

Weekend Trip to Woodland's Edge Glamping & Hot Tubs

The Mossy Glen Bell Tent is one of three beautiful campsites here. The area is gorgeous and magical, with fairy-lighted paths leading to the campsites. This was "glamping" in the sense that we did not have to set up our own tent and Andrea set up a double-size cot, an air mattress, and a big bean bag with blankets, pillows, and sleeping bags. I am glad we also brought our own sleeping bags and pillows to add to the bedding options and make it even more comfy. The bell tent itself is like a big army-style tent with a zippered door. We were a group of 3 and had plenty of space. The first night it rained a lot, but we stayed cozy and dry in the tent. The floor is not very even (it's set up on pallets to keep the floor dry and elevated) so be careful walking around. The campsite also featured a covered kitchen structure with counter space and a place to lock up food and trash. Andrea provided a cast iron pan, 3 tin cups, a cutting board, and a glass growler full of water, which she refilled once for us. Bring your own water too. Attached to the kitchen structure is a composting toilet (for poop only, you should pee in the woods). There's also a table, 2 plastic chairs, a bench, and a fire pit. Andrea provided one bin of firewood for free, and we bought a second bin for $8. This kept our fire going all day! There is a huge expanse of beautiful, magical forest right behind this site that we explored for hours. This place is amazing; highly recommend! Andrea is a great host!

3 nights at Holiday Hill

I loved camping at Holiday Hill. The lean-tos provided a great place to set up and enjoy the first camp of the year. The camp is beautiful and the kids must love it. There is plenty to do and great hikes in the area. Jesse was super helpful but we had all the privacy needed. I will definitely be returning.

1 night at Turtle Bend Farm

Awesome location, highly recommend this place! The host was very welcoming and there was plenty of space for my tent.
