1 night at Grateful Acres Vermont

This cabin was well thought out. We had everything we needed to stay the night, get a fire going, etc. There were solar lights, there was heating, there was bug spray. So if we had forgotten anything, it would have been fine. There were also some games and things to do - it wasn't just a 'box' in the woods. I really appreciate the amount of communication from the host. It was evident that she wanted us to have a good time and enjoy our stay.

Such a beautiful site! Highly recommend it. We would love to come back.

2 nights at Locust Grove Waterfall

Monica's Locust Grove is a hidden gem! Located right on a little stream with your own private waterfall, it's woodsy enough to feel like camping but funky enough to feel like glamping. The lighting throughout is perfect and the little trails to the hammocks make you feel like you are escaping on a little get away. Not a soul around so if you are looking for privacy, beauty, funky, easy camping, this is for you. I will definitely be back, several times! Thank you, Monica for sharing your beautiful space and for making it so easy!

Weekend Trip to Locust Grove Waterfall

Locust Grove is a very peaceful & private spot for camping! Loved the lights and different spots to sit to watch the water. Instructions were clear & host was quick to respond with any questions.

3 nights at Upper Shire Campsites Hudson Valley

This was my second stay at this wonderful property. However this time we stayed in the new cabin which was super nice and tastefully set up. The cabin is very close to the showers which are also very nice and modern. The bed here is very comfortable. But I'd say the sofa, which flattens out, is not very comfortable for an adult. small kids probably won't care! All in all a very pretty property and close to a quaint town of Hillsdale for your needs.

1 night at Quentins Treehouse

The treehouse is absolutely amazing!! What a gem of a place. We went in early June and the weather was perfect. The treehouse blocks most of the wind so even if it's a bit chilly outside, inside temperature is great. The bed is hanging on ropes so you get a nice rocking effect when you lay in it. We had a great time paddle boarding, swimming, and hanging out in the hammock. Quentin also had firewood available for us to use for the Webster grill/fire pit. He was super helpful and responsive before we arrived. Would come back in a heartbeat! We also found some great restaurants nearby for great food and drinks (Cantina 229) and breakfast (Roadhouse).

The waterfall was a beautiful experience, just be careful on rainy seasons

Weekend Trip to Moon In The Pond Farm

We loved our stay here! We were on the pond site and we loved the sound of the frogs and nature in the night time. It was also nice to walk the trails and see all the other animals on the farm. The campsite was very private and came with a fireplace. Dominic was very kind when we chatted and gave us a good amount of wood for $10! Thanks for the awesome stay!

Weekend Trip to Gus's Gardens

Wonderful spot! Very flat, right next to a gorgeous pond with birds and croaking bullfrogs. Great fire pit. Pretty river with a bridge on over it nearby as well. Plenty of room, and an easy stroll into the village to grab a meal if you want to. Very kind hospitable host. It’s a really great place

Catskill Glamping Site with views

1 site · Lodging25 acres · Jefferson, NY

Get away from it all when you stay under the stars - and we mean ALL THE STARS. Rustic off-grid camping experience, with all you need to enjoy time in nature. Canvas tent on an elevated platform, with a queen bed, firepit, rustic toilet, outdoor cooking, and eating area, off a dirt road with an amazing view. This is on our 25-acre property, 400 feet away from anyone! You will also be a 10-minute drive to Stamford, where there is a grocery store, restaurants, coffee shops, and more, and a 4-minute drive to downtown Jefferson, which has some restaurants, gas station, and other amenities. Picture this: you and your special someone, nestled in a cozy canvas tent, gazing up at a canvas of a million stars – unblemished by light pollution. No city hum, no social media notifications, just the crackling fire and the symphony of crickets serenading you. This isn't just camping, it's an escape to a world built for two, crafted on a secluded 25-acre property. Your haven awaits on an elevated platform, offering not just a dreamy view but a touch of luxury. A queen-sized bed beckons after a day of exploring, promising nights of comfortable closeness under the endless tapestry of stars. But the magic extends beyond the tent. Imagine whipping up a romantic campside dinner in the rustic outdoor kitchen, the aroma of woodsmoke mingling with laughter and whispered secrets. Share stories and dreams by the crackling firepit, the flames painting dancing shadows on your faces. Let the worries of the daily grind melt away with every s'more you roast. This isn't complete isolation, though. When the mood strikes for a touch of civilization, a quick 10-minute drive takes you to Stamford, brimming with charming cafes, local restaurants, and grocery stores to stock up on picnic provisions. Need a last-minute gift or a craving for a gourmet meal? Downtown Jefferson, just 4 minutes away, offers a delightful selection. The beauty lies in the perfect balance – an escape into the heart of nature, yet close enough to the comforts of small-town life. It's an experience designed for reconnection, for rekindling the spark, for creating memories that will linger long after the embers of the campfire fade. Is this the getaway you and your love have been yearning for?

Sacred Waterfall & Quiet Retreat

48 sites · Lodging, Tents25 acres · Middleburgh, NY

NOTE: THIS IS A QUIET AREA for reconnecting with nature. Not suitable for parties or loud groups. For generations, the majestic waterfall has been revered for its spectacular beauty and power. It is considered a sacred site that has been central to local land rematriation work with the Kanienkeha:ka, also known as the Mohawks, Coursing between two outcroppings in a deep ravine, Kahonrakén:ra Waterfall crashes down over mossy rock shelves into a hidden pool, which then empties again into the river, running into emerald swimming holes and through dramatic clay beds. The effect is transporting. Truly, it is one of those extraordinarily beautiful spots on earth that makes you feel like you are in another world. There are two tiny cabins on the property. Both sites have extra space to set up a tent if needed. The Forest Cabin is insulated with hemp, has electric lights and outlets, is bigger inside with a work desk, Anderson crank out windows, a bigger deck, and two twin mattresses under the bed if you need them. The Wildflower Cabin is a bit deeper in the forest, a little smaller, uninsulated with two walls of old-school wood-pane windows that open out to the forest completely, one twin mattress under the bed and a powerstrip for light electric use. Both sites have private fire pits, solar shower stalls, fans for cooling and an electric heater for chilly nights. It's a 10 minute hike down the gorge to the waterfall from the campsites. Each campsite has a private path down to the waterfall, where you can spend the day swimming, exploring the clay beds and looking for fossils in the 280 million year old gorge. In the evening, make a campfire at your fire pit and fall asleep under the stars listening to the waterfall and the river below. Be aware that the hike is steep and appropriate footwear is required. All hiking is at your own risk. Although your path to the waterfall is private and the waterfall is on private property, there may be other guests or locals that access the waterfall further down the road. There is no glass or alcohol allowed at the falls. Please be aware that you may hear your camping neighbors in the woods. For this reason, we ask that you don’t play amplified music and to keep noise down after 10pm to chillax and enjoy the sounds of frogs, crickets, owls, and night songs of the countryside that makes Schoharie so special. In the big red barn at the entrance to the campsites there is a community room with a charging station, cold water sink, mini fridge, coffee maker, grills, and a port-a-potty for your use. There are also 5 gallon solar shower bags that you can use at your campsite. You are responsible for filling them and putting them in the sun to heat the water. :) This is a leave no trace site. Please take all your trash with you when you leave. And please bring your own biodegradable soap for dishes and toilet paper for the port-a-potty! Firewood is available onsite for $1 per log. The Schoharie Valley is said to be the most fertile valley east of the Mississippi. It is still wild, unspoiled country and there are many local farms with fresh produce and organic meat within 5 miles of the house. There are several farm stands and a general store a few miles away, Scrumpy Ewe Cidery, Panther Creek Arts, and the Sap Bush Country Store and Café just up the hill in West Fulton. Mustang Valley, a wild mustang sanctuary and rescue center, is just down the road. Nearby hikes include Looking Glass Pond and Vroman's Nose, among many others.

There is additional information and a very good campground map on the website www.wyofarm.com. Our 75 acres is a wonderful, diverse mix of habitat, harmoniously integrated with our small farm. This land was the homestead of the very first non native settler of the area, John Wiley, in 1787. Before that, it was the land of the Mahican native Americans. They named it "valley of the butternut trees", or Wyomanock. The Wyomanock Creek is the backbone of this little valley. Beaver have dammed the creek at several points to create ponds and other wetland features that support a diversity of wildlife including otter, moose and a myriad of birds, from osprey to herons. This sanctuary is host to many uncommon native plants and plant communities. We would love to share it with you! Your host, Thom, invites you to property to explore 75 acres of meadows, woods and water. Choose one of several sites either in the woods or open areas. You are also free to use our outdoor solar shower or take a dip in the cold pond or artesian spring fed pool. Our location is convenient to the Berkshire Mountains, state parks, hiking and other attractions, including Ramble Wild tree to tree adventures and Jiminy Peak. There are a few miles of rail trail access just down the road.
