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 Luxury Camping at 'Higher Ground'

We loved our time here! It felt very remote and peaceful even as we drove in. The climb up to the site is real, don't underestimate how steep it is. We did and brought way too much gear! Left about 90% of our unnecessary items in the car and were more than fine with what they provided. This is not pull up car camping, so don't pack like it is. They have everything you need up there, for real! They were wonderful hosts! Our dogs were able to be off leash the whole time and it was easy to teach them both to leave the goats (who are in their pen) alone. The bed is really quite comfy! The lighting was great with the small lamps they leave on the side tables. Very cozy inside the tent! And omg the heater, use it!!! It was amazing on cold and rainy nights. It's nature, there are bugs. Ticks are plentiful this year so do regular tick checks. They do provide you with plenty of bug spray. We are excited to have discovered this gem of a place! The location can't be beat, the accommodations are very well thought out and the hosts were wonderful!

3 nights at Hunterbrook Mountain

The stream was beautiful and the surroundings serene! Steve and Bill, the hosts, were very helpful with everything.

Evan and Laura's site was perfect. Everything you need is provided, both were very responsive to any questions we had, the bathroom and shower were way better than what we're used to at campsites and they offered suggestions for local hikes and a great butcher shop. The goats are pretty darn cute too. Highly recommend this site!

Super lovely site, loads of friendly animals, and an extremely kind host!

We're only 1.5 miles from a SECRET entrance to Fahnestock and the trailhead to Candlewood Hill, one of the park's most exquisite views.. Just 2.5 miles away is a main parking lot and the hub for several other hiking trails including Catfish Loop, Three Lakes, Old Mine Railroad and the famed Appalachian Trail. We can provide you with a trail map and help plan your hike. Swimming at Canopus Lake is only 7 miles away. Other Fahenstock activities include fishing, boat rentals, biking, and snowshoeing/x-country skiing in the winter. Both the Glynwood Center for Regional Food and Farming and Stonecrop Gardens are only about 8 minutes away. 15 minutes to the west, poised on the Hudson River is the historic colonial town of Cold Spring, with shopping, lovely restaurants, plenty of natural attractions and a picturesque riverfront. 30 minutes northwest is the more bustling hipster vibe of Beacon with coffee shops and live music venues, and 20 minutes southeast puts you in the heart of downtown Peekskill with Hudson Valley MOCA and the Paramount Theater.
