Weekend Trip to The River's Edge

Such an amazing spot. The sound of the river and all the eagles flying overhead was unreal. Great provisions and an awsome place to dig in and kick back. We will be back again.

Weekend Trip to The River's Edge

Great owner, excellent location! He helped us use the shower at his Airbnb even though it was at the very last minute, and he was very thoughtful until the end! Would recommend this place to everyone.

Weekend Trip to The River's Edge

We really enjoyed camping on Thomas' land. The view was beautiful looking out over the rushing river and we even saw a bald eagle a few times across the river. The campsite itself is a bit narrow, so keep that in mind if you have small children. But there was plenty of room for the three of us. The canvas tent and bed made for an excellent experience of being outside without sacrificing too many luxuries. And having an extra tent already set up for us was so helpful considering it was raining when we arrived. This camp site includes a large canopy, tables, silverware and dishes, and a well maintained grill. If you are looking to camp but don't want to pack half the kitchen, this site will have you covered.

3 nights at The River's Edge

Fantastic time ! Great set up with everything you could possibly need. Would absolutely stay there again ! Thomas was really nice and extremely helpful with information about the area. Definitely recommend staying there.

1 night at The River's Edge

Pulled into a very well labeled easy to find site, well kept, and absolutely perfectly set up. It was a very peaceful getaway. Couldn't have asked for anything better.

Weekend Trip to Paradise Valley Homestead

Site 10 is awesome. Rugged, secluded, beautiful even in the rain. We will be back!

Weekend Trip to Organic Farm in the Pocono Mts.

Absolutely loved camping here. Easy to check in, very gracious and generous hosts. The spot is really nice, well taken care of and our group had a blast. Would love to come back!

Weekend Trip to Organic Farm in the Pocono Mts.

Very beautiful land. I enjoyed the campsite a ton and the owner was super friendly and inviting. Definitely coming back soon!

Weekend Trip to Brown Barn Farms

We arrived just after 5:00, the bartender helped us navigate a spot that worked for us and the terrain. After a good rain the ground was a bit soft, but was not a problem for us and our 32” TT. Great sunset, live music and space to throw a ball around. We couldn’t be happier with our quick stop. We had three other neighbors, all with our little slice of the perfect view. Highly recommend, you won’t be disappointed.

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 Paradise Valley Homestead

Lovely area. Hiking trails in all directions. River water wasn’t too cold! Camp was clean and well taken care of. Would come back again!

Weekend Trip to Paradise Valley Homestead

It was a pleasure to Camp in Kathleen's property. Beautiful hiking trails, and pond / waterfall. We forgot the frame for the tent and she provided a fix for us. She was amazing. I truly recommend it. She was very attentive to all our needs and I cannot recommend it enough!

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!

Weekend Trip to Paradise Valley Homestead

We stayed on site 3. The campsite was big and easy to find. Bathrooms and potable water are within a short walk. Kathleen is a great host, came to check if we needed anything. Something to keep in mind as always when camping, know what poison IVY looks like and spray for bugs and ticks. We had a pop up tent with bug screens to cover our table and eating area. I highly recommend it.

Weekend Trip to Paradise Valley Homestead

When I arrived Kathleen was busy stacking firewood! Perfect timing because I needed wood anyway. She has $5 and $10 "bundles". I went for two $10 ones. I found my site just up the road easily enough (site 5) and pulled my Jeep in and admired the spacious spot. My goal for this solo trip was to try hammock camping. There are plenty of trees to choose from. The site was clean and the provided fire ring makes it convenient to move it to a better location if needed. This site is semi secluded as you can kinda see vehicles drive on the road. I did some exploring and found she has more remote sites that I would at least try with a SUV or better a yet a 4×4. There was a primitive toilet right across the road. It is a composting model complete with tree shavings you scoop in after you are finished. Amazingly clean and oder free. I would definitely return as it a 30 min drive for me.

Weekend Trip to The River's Edge

We had a great time camping at the Lagoon, the scenery was beautiful and the camp site was set up very well. We will definitely recommend Thomas’ campsites to our friends and family!

Weekend Trip to Oak Grove Acres

Tom and MaryAnn were very friendly and helpful. Their property is beautiful and their camper has been very well maintained. We enjoyed the rural setting while still being close enough to get supplies as needed. One thing to be aware of, which is completely beyond their control, is how many ticks there are. My boyfriend and I both grew up in rural areas and are avid outdoors people but we were both surprised at the sheer quantity of ticks nearby. Campers should be vigilant about knowing what they look like as well as how to safely remove and kill them. Overall we had a fantastic time and would highly recommend this spot to anyone wanting a convenient getaway to the country.

1 night at Oak Grove Acres

Wonderful, he tried to do everything for me except cook dinner. Wonderful man.

1 night at Paradise Valley Homestead

Kathleen was a great host—super friendly and made us feel welcome. The site was really well kept, flat and level with lots of space to spread out. There’s a nice little walk to a waterfall nearby, which was a great bonus. Firewood was available for a small fee, and the outhouse was clean and close by. Just a heads-up: the last mile or so is unpaved, so take it slow. Overall, a peaceful spot and a great stay!

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)

The River's Edge

8 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents60 acres · Pocono Woodland Lakes, PA

The River's Edge campsites sit on the shoreline of the Delaware River at the western edge of New York State overlooking the mountains of Pennsylvania. Our canvas tents and open air platforms perch between the river and the former Delaware & Hudson Canal which was once was used to transport raw goods by barge to New York City via the 'port' of Port Jervis. The remnants of the canal walls are throughout the property including a 300 person theater which we created to both preserve and feature this industrial history. It also makes a great place for an event or a movie night. Today, the original canal towpath, along which barges would be pulled and floated downstream, is a trail that links all of the campsites over 5 acres and at the furthest end an eel fishing camp that is in operation from June to October (say 'hi' to Jim). In the early 1900s, the train replaced the canal as the primary method of moving goods into New York and if you are lucky — you will hear the train rumble by along the river on the Pennsylvania side. There is something spectacular in the absolute still and grandness of the river, the mountains and the ongoing industrial history of the valley. It is a reminder of the way things used to be. The farmhouse and cabins are located opposite the campsites on other side of route 97. Next to them are 50 acres of wild forest to hike and explore. These accommodations are great for guests who want more amenities but still with easy access to river. Pair campsites and cabins so that all your guests have their best experience. Contact us to coordinate for larger group bookings.

Little Birds Farm

3 sites · Lodging, Tents120 acres · Sparrow Bush, NY

This campsite is nestled in the deep woods of a 120 acre farm that offers beautiful views coming and going. After being allowed to use the restroom at the stone farmhouse, you will then go rustic and start your 3/4 - 1 mile hike in (approximately 20 minutes to the campsite) past the fields and pond down the path into the woods. The trail is remote and you will instantly be able to leave the sights and sounds of civilization behind you and breath the clean forest air. Wear good hiking shoes because portions of the hike are uneven and rocky. This site is best for experienced campers who know how to pack light with just the essentials as there is no tractor service to this campsite. When you arrive at the campsite, you will be within 20 feet of a year round stream with brook trout and in a hundred foot tall hemlock canopy nestled between two brook meadows. A 9,000 acre forested preserve abuts our property so you will be able to completely relax, bird watch, enjoy the wildlife, or fish for a brook trout breakfast without hearing the sounds of anyone but yourselves. The campsite has a stone fire pit, split log benches for seating, a canvas privacy blind around a stand of trees where the composting toilet resides, and a food bag lift to attach your food and trash bags to about 100 yards from the campsite. Unlimited Split firewood is free next to where you will park that you can take down to the site. All trash needs to be carted out with you. We can't accept mixed trash as it will attract animals that will knock over the trashcans and make a mess. No food goes in our personal trashcans as we have learned this the hard way. Thanks! *For those that are looking for a closer walk-in site, look up our Little Birds Farm - Rolling Forest campsite also listed on Hipcamper!

Ugly Apple Farms

Ugly Apple Farms was started by my Wife and to try to bring fresh organic/permaculture food to our community. We love to play music and get together with our friends and have been hosting people for some time. We thought that hipcamp could introduce people to our mission and make some extra money to get the farm off the ground. Ugly Apple Farms is a diverse place. We have opportunities for farm classes, pick your own veggies and more. We also have 1800 feet of access to the Neversink River. We recommend four wheel drive for some of our sites so please ask about them. We are an off grid farm with access to some solar for charging. We have tent sites and room for campers. Our camping is primitive but there is access to potable water and sanitation if needed. All extras are first come first serve if not reserved in advance. We love and welcome any questions! Thanks for looking!! Randall and Melissa
