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!

3 nights at Hartwoods

We truly had a wonderful time, Rick was a great host, made sure we were doing ok which I appreciate. Site was great and easy to get too. I think I loved the firepit the most it was huge. Highly recommend bringing outdoor carpet as the site is gravel.

1 night at Destination Farnch

Mike was super nice and responded quickly. He allowed me to stay for a night last minute. There was a picnic table and firepit. There was also wood for sale down the road outside the barn. I cooked a wonderful meal in the firepit and had a gorgeous sleep in my tent on a cot. There is a slope to carry your items up but its not too difficult. You can hear cars on the highway the entire time but I live in Brooklyn NY so that didn’t bother me at all. I would 100% stay here again and hopefully bring my family along as they don’t live far from the property.

Weekend Trip to Hartwoods

Quiet and peaceful spot. Nice level gravel site. I pulled in my 23’ trailer. Go to second entrance as it was easier. I would stay again. The town is wonderful.

A very nice, quiet site in the woods. Lots of room, good level site with full hookups available. The host was really welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again.

Weekend Trip to The Dominion House Farm and Trails

Spacious campsite with picnic table, metal fire ring, and free wood scraps. Site is open so visible to other sites, but separated well enough for privacy. Rail to trail in easy walking distance. Site 4 has a low tree/hedge that shaded cooler during day. Primitive camping. Poor mobile reception, so I used the B&B WiFi sitting in my car outside the house. There’s a hose tap for water on the side of the house. Eric is friendly, helpful, and communicative. I will be back.

4 nights at Peconic River Campgrounds

Quiet ( mostly) family campground, compared to public campgrounds nearby. Tyler the host is great with communication and is nearby if needed. We have camped here many times and will continue to! Not fancy but quiet and simple camping.

1 night at 1. Robin's Hood. 2. Lola's Loop

Robin was very welcoming and kind. We had a great time, and would definitely come back!

Great campsite! Very private and woodsy - loved the fire pit!

Weekend Trip to The Dominion House Farm and Trails

It was rainy and cloudy while there. The place is beautiful. The hoasts are wonderful. Would stay again, the dogs loved the hiking trails

Weekend Trip to Mickelberry Forest Gardens

Amy was a fabulous host! Beautiful tucked away little spot with lots to do in Newtown and the surrounding area. Absolutely lovely weekend getaway :-)

1 night at Peconic River Campgrounds

Great campground on a pretty lake! We spent the daytime exploring Montauk and the Hamptons and wanted a place to light a fire and lay our heads at night. This was just what we needed. Tyler was also super nice and accommodating.

Weekend Trip to Peconic River Campgrounds

Can't beat it, reasonable cost per night, peaceful and not far from home, I'd definitely go back

Weekend Trip to Peconic River Campgrounds

Tyler is an amazing host! Super responsive when we needed more wood or had any questions. Definitely would stay there again

Weekend Trip to Peconic River Campgrounds

Clean, nice and simple. Very hard to find a nice camping in the area. Glad we find this one.

Weekend Trip to Peconic River Campgrounds

Third time camping here. It's always a good time; Tyler is very chill and easy to talk to.

Weekend Trip to Forest Treasure Island

Great place! Campsite provides plenty of private space. Host is great! Will definitely come again!

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

tent camping on Robin’s land was so easy! We were greeted and shown precisely to the spot then shown where to avoid (poison ivy!) Would recommend for an easy weekend getaway

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

We really loved Robin’s place, she is lovely a host. The place was great, easy access, great space for tents, lots of trees, and quiet. It was close to parks, lakes, hiking trails. Really recommended!!

4 nights at The Dominion House Farm and Trails

Such a beautiful and peaceful place in a beautiful area! I wish I could have seen the wildflowers in bloom!

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.
