Stories from the community

Super secluded and quiet but really accessible! Lovely sound of birds. Everything worked perfectly.

The campsite was great and we set up our tent right next to our car. Although we couldn’t find firewood to use for our campfire we used the bark and it was a good starter. Very calm and peaceful vibe 10/10

3 nights at Hartwoods

This was a lovely place for us to stay with our Aliner Evolution 15 while we visited our Connecticut family members for the weekend. We drove from Cleveland with our camper (a long drive) and we were especially grateful for the electric hookup and the privacy of the property. This site will be our #1 choice when we return to visit family in the future!

Weekend Trip to Peconic River Campgrounds

We loved our stay! The land is very peaceful and Tyler was a great host.

Beautiful woods, so quiet, private and immaculately clean! This was a lovely one night stop for us on our way back from a competition in RI. FYI: the road in is quite narrow and my GPS took my 1/4 mi past the drive to a gated dead end. Thank heavens my trailer is small and I can do a 3 point turn! There is a sign on a tree next to the entry but sign is small and same color as the tree. My eyes are old. Lol. Other than that it was gorgeous!

Weekend Trip to Peconic River Campgrounds

This is a great place for rustic camping and freshwater fishing. The owner was very friendly and the sites well maintained. Will definitely return.

Weekend Trip to 1. Robin's Hood. 2. Lola's Loop

Robin’s land was exactly what I needed. I wanted to get away from the city, test some new equipment, and spend a night out in nature. I was lucky to have good weather most of the day, followed by a beautiful rain in the middle of the night that made the whole experience even better. Robin was warm, helpful, and a star host. I’ll definitely be back—and I definitely recommend it.

Weekend Trip to The Dominion House Farm and Trails

Peaceful, calm and spacious and well-organized sites. Great healing near the city. Really loved all!

3 nights at Skyline RV Camp BK - Standard

Alex is an awesome host, the showers worked perfectly and I think they had about 10. The bathrooms were functional and had full sized sinks with lots of room for shaving and dental space. The showers are also sheltered from the elements. Parking and hookups were a breeze. MAKE SURE YOU CHECK FOR ROAD CLOSURES! The ride in was a breeze in our little rv but there was a bicycle tour the day we were leaving and all of NYC was chaos trying to get out. It was really nice that we were allowed late check out due to the circumstances our GPS was useless fortunately we knew our way around and had to go block by block to the 92nd street on ramp to the Verazanno. Greenpoint is awesome and very safe though always use caution at night and on thesubway. The lot itself is probably the quietest place I've ever been in NYC. At no point did I feel unsafe in the lot. There is a cool little movie theater a block away that was great. I would not call Greenpoint a community of early risers, before 8 am it's a ghost town. If you want to take a morning jog or walk you will practically have the place to yourself. I went to a polish restaurant called polizaski or something like that and it was terrific. Lots of little artsy shops and an axe throwing pub on the same block that was not loud or disruptive. YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS PLACE IT IS A TRUE GEM!

1 night at The Dominion House Farm and Trails

The whole trip/area was perfect. Really nice views, easy to find and set up. (I Recommend site 4)

1 night at The Dominion House Farm and Trails

A beautiful and quiet setting to relax and enjoy nature!

1 night at Maybrook Farm - The Ridge

After a long day of cycling, it was such a joy to roll right off the Empire State Trail and into the meadow for a good night’s rest! Getting in was a breeze, and the pop-up bathroom and water jug were very welcome amenities. If you’re looking for a good site on this section of the EST, you’ve found it!

Very clean level lot. Gravel base was great. Water wasn’t turned on but I brought my own so it wasn’t a big deal. The camping site is much closer to the road than I originally expected. There was quite a bit of car traffic and some dirt bikes and 18 wheelers. Being a solo female camper in a popup tent, this was a little concerning at first because there wasn’t as much privacy as I expected, but it worked out fine and was a lovely night away.

Weekend Trip to Bare Camping

It was a pretty cute little spot, the creek was probably the best part, we loved sitting beside it. The little shelter made the rain even better, we stayed inside the tent and listened to the rain while My husband played guitar

Weekend Trip to A Farm for All!

Nice place. Great outside fire location and right next to a stream. Only complaint is that site was close to the road.

3 nights at The Dominion House Farm and Trails

Clean and peaceful. Will definitely go back and check out the trail.

Weekend Trip to Peconic River Campgrounds

The grounds are beautiful. The water has fish and Tyler was great. He helped sort out a hiccup w our neighbors who forgot that blasting loud music in 150 feet from others at bedtime is rude. He even jumped my truck when my kiddo left the lights on!

Weekend Trip to Hartwoods

Great spot for a night or two level and clean !

Weekend Trip to Peconic River Campgrounds

I like connecting with nature and being able to relax, and I definitely found that in this place. It's also super close and easy to get to the campsite. Tyler was very kind and attentive! By the way, he's super handsome, a perfect complement to the place lol. I'll be back soon!

Weekend Trip to Pegasus Farms LLC

Ron was very helpful getting me, my friends and our gear up to the campsite. He showed us where to get plenty of fire wood and we had a great time. Highly recommend.

The meadow we occupy was once the farmers property that I grew up next to at my parents farm house. When he wanted to sell his property he offered it to us for purchase at a fair price if we would not develop more than we needed to live here. We maintained the meadow adjacent to our property and have kept it as an agricultural site. We have had our son develop an edible forest garden and a unique diversified small orchard so we can eat and share healthy organic fruits and vegetables while helping our environment and wildlife and educating others to do the same. It is expensive to live in Newtown but we love our property. We want to teach others to grow food from their land while helping to support us keeping our adjacent property agricultural and undeveloped. Our property has provided many happy gatherings and events and we love to share it with others. Let us know if there is anything special we can help provide for you. Come visit Mickleberry!!! Learn more about this land: Thank you to all the wonderful friends we have met through this amazing program.

Blydenburgh County Park

1 siteHauppauge, NY

Nestled at the headwaters of the picturesque Nissequogue River, this 627-acre park stands out for its breathtaking views of Stump Pond and its diverse range of cultural and recreational activities. Visitors can immerse themselves in nature while enjoying miles of scenic trails that cater to outdoor enthusiasts of all levels. Stump Pond, formed in 1798 by Isaac Blydenburgh and his cousins Joshua and Caleb Smith, was created when they dammed the river to build a grist mill. This historic damming flooded the riverbanks, resulting in the pond's unique name, derived from the tree stumps that still emerge from the water's surface. A highlight of the park is the 5.7-mile loop trail that encircles Stump Pond, made accessible by a newly constructed boardwalk through the surrounding wetlands. Hikers can follow the trail marked with white or blue arrows, and guided hikes are periodically organized by the Long Island Greenbelt Trail Conference, which has its headquarters within the park. Additionally, visitors can explore the Blydenburgh Farm and New Mill Historic District during guided tours offered every Saturday at 1:00 PM.
