**History of The Awosting Club**
In the mid 1950's John Atwater Bradley, then a graduate student, attended a conference in Cragsmoor, the site of a celebrated art colony not far from what is now the Awosting Reserve and The Awosting Club. The next morning at dawn, he went out for an exploratory hike and did not return until long after dark. Bradley hiked through evergreen and hardwood forests, along bubbling streams, roaring waterfalls and shimmering mountain lakes. He discovered an incredible wilderness like none he'd ever seen, populated by whitetail deer, black bear, fox, racoons, bobcat and coyote as well as a natural aviary of hawks, peregrine falcons, owls, eagles and pileated woodpeckers. That day he fell in love with the Shawangunk Ridge.
The Bradley family still maintain the property, and after 50 years of sharing the property with educational organizations, schools, artists, writers, explorers, camps, family and friends, are excited to invite others to fall in love with the Shawangunk Ridge as John Bradley had over 70 years ago. Bradley's daughter, Camilla, and her family are keeping the Awosting traditions alive by sprucing up the camp buildings and platforms while maintaining the trails that have been used for decades for outdoor adventures: from sleeping to eating to playing to communing with nature in all her glory.

This 17-acre site has diverse habitats, from an upland pine and hardwood forest to wild native meadows full of blueberries, asters and milkweed. The most special feature is a large tributary and creek waterway system with areas of wetland. Once choked with invasive plants, it is now a largely restored native plant and wildlife habitat that supports migrating herons, trout, amphibians and clouds of Monarch and other butterflies. In the fall I've seen Monarchs circle up in vortexes from the meadows and take off on their migration. There are several large swimming holes where the creek turns or joins with its tributary. Bridges have been installed over the tributary and over brooklets feeding into it.
A lot of care and love is going into this land. Over 500 native trees planted along the creek banks are growing into a forest - you'll see many still in protective tubes and cages. Thousands of native pollinator ground-plants have been planted or sprung up on their own, some like tiny flowering gems on the shady forest floors.
The old stone walls running through the property and around its boundaries speak to its history as a farm and an apple orchard. Swimming, hiking, fishing and bird-and-wildlife watching will fascinate you in this dynamic landscape that is constantly coming closer to what used to exist hundreds of years ago and is now reestablishing itself.
In the vicinity, there's Tetta's, a deli/cafe/gas station and small emporium with made-to-order pizza, local raw honey, mushroom, crafts, and all kinds of food, pretty much everything you need; it's been in the family for generations. Find it Northeast on Samsonville Road (County Rt. 3) at the junctions of Rts. 2 & 3. There's a hike to a waterfall if you drive a few miles down Upper Cherrytown Road from the end of Sundown Road: you'll see a parking lot with signs for the falls; the DEC-maintained trail is across the road (https://www.catskillmountaineer.com/SD-vernooy-falls-east.html). There's venues nearby along Rt. 209 with local musicians on Saturday nights: places like The Outpost Barbeque, 6611 Rt. 209 in Kerhonkson, Lydia's Cafe at 7 Old US Hwy 209, Stone Ridge. Near Lydia's is a favorite afternoon hang-out, Cherries Roadside and General, which not only has literally hundreds of ice cream flavors, but an excellent, informal restaurant. I can talk to you about many other fun places.

The site was lovely, just as pictured and described here. We also stayed on a cold night, in the mid 30s, and we were bundled up but quite cozy in the set up (in case anyone else is considering a late season overnight!). Would recommend a fall trip!

Weekend Trip to Monarch Meadows
This was such a perfectly secluded spot! This property is a beautiful source of peaceful discovery between the sweet-smelling meadow, lovely shady pine woods, and a meandering creek with a very convenient and beautiful sunny swimming hole, though the area drought meant that we skipped it for this trip in late September. Judith's work on this land was remarkable to see, the tent was spacious, clean, and comfortable, the outhouse very convenient, and there was a generous stock of firewood for us to use with great enthusiasm to cook our dinner and breakfast over a convenient grate. Judith was extremely responsive, making suggestions of sights to see in the area and was very friendly when we needed to stop by without notice since we didn't have service on the property.

Weekend Trip to Monarch Meadows
Beautiful property being maintained and restored by someone who clearly cares about the land and her guests. Judith responded quickly with any concerns. The site is near a road with low traffic and some neighbors that can be heard. So while I would not describe it as secluded, it is very private. I did not come into contact with anyone while I was there. The swimming hole was great. There was a lot of different birds nearby, including a nest of broad Hawks. Overall, I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Can’t recommend this site enough. The tent is large and spacious and was sturdy enough to keep dry during a storm. The nearby swimming creek areas are large enough to fit inner tubes and chairs, which makes for a great time. We brought a large cast iron which fit perfectly over the grill plate (and had grilled brie and apples which was amazing). Tons of nearby sticks and firewood but bring matches or a lighter to start the fire. I’d also recommend bringing a battery-powered fan of some sort in the summer, it got pretty warm in the tent which made it hard to sleep. The outdoor showers are located at Judith’s place 5ish minutes from the campsite so you need to drive there. Over a cleverly designed site and we plan on staying again with friends from the city.

This is a fantastic site. Judith is extremely welcoming and accommodating, and she's done an amazing job with the property. The sleeping arrangements were spacious and comfortable, and we had a great time exploring the trails and swimming holes. As mentioned in some of the other reviews, be mindful of ticks and mosquitos if you're going to venture through some of the ferns and tall grass. Judith was very transparent about their presence and was kind enough to supply some natural repellents that, along with the repellents we brought, kept things very manageable. I'd come back any time, it's really an amazing place to camp.

We had a lovely time camping on Judith's land. The forest has many beautiful trees, ferns, grasses, boulders and the streams were gorgeous. It's tranquil and private. The swimming holes were perfect and we spend lots of time in the water. Location and directions were clear and the place was easy to find. There is a road nearby but it did not bother us much. Probably very related to the season we went but the amount of ticks overwhelmed us and the tent does not keep them out since it is not fully closed, which is great for fresh air though. We appreciate very much what Judith is doing restoring native species and definitely recommend this place (maybe in a different season unless you don't mind dozens of ticks).

We had a great time staying at this site. It was a beautiful day and everything was as advertised. Would love to see it again in the future when some of the younger trees have grown in to see how it transforms. As mentioned elsewhere, just be mindful to check for deer ticks periodically.

We had an amazing stay at Judith's site. The setting is beautiful, private and really well maintained. The tent was really comfortable and clean! We loved listening to the birds in the morning and a thunderstorm overnight from the warmth of the tent. Judith was a fantastic host and was always ready to help or answer any questions. There were a lot of bugs and ticks onsite, which Judith was very communicative about beforehand, so we came prepared with sprays and repellants. Make sure you are too! And bring long, breathable(!) clothing. The forest was sticky hot when was sun is out. Luckily there were none in the tent as they had taken the care to seal even the underneath of the floorboards. Our city dog had the time of his life sprinting through the paths in the meadow and lying in the sunspots. Overall a fantastic stay.

What a beautiful little oasis! Easy to get to but once you’re there you feel so immersed in nature. The tent was nice and cozy and kept us warm despite an unseasonably cold Memorial Day weekend. Outhouse was clean and close by. The rest of the property was a delight to explore, making you feel like a kid again! If it isn’t obvious, be sure to check yourself thoroughly for ticks especially if venturing through the meadow! We want to come back for a warmer weekend so we can take advantage of the swimming hole which looked like a perfect dipping spot. We also loved the care and attention spent to restoring all the indigenous plants in the area.
