Weekend Trip to High Peak Meadows

What an amazing campsite! Although the sun only came out for one day, the group had a wonderful time at camp. The property was spacious and had little nools for folks to set up camp and have some privacy. The picnic table, benches, and garbage bins were great to have and falling asleep to the sound of the creep is such a treat. I highly recommend this site for large groups looking to spread out. There isn't much shade so recommend having a canopy or tarp for both rainy weather and sun. The hosts are wonderful people, very kind, and helpful. Thank you for sharing your property with us.

Weekend Trip to The Catskill And Chill

Perfect little RV for a couple’s getaway. Cozy, clean, and well-equipped. Loved the layout and how easy it was to drive and set up. Would definitely rent again!

Weekend Trip to High Peak Meadows

Gorgeous private property very well maintained and set up. Max was a wonderful host and super easy to communicate with. He made sure we had everything we needed. The provided dry firewood being packed in bins was so helpful after we had a rainy night. Will absolutely return in the future. Thank you for everything!

Weekend Trip to T Spot Campsite

Amazing site! Very close to a variety of hikes in the Catskills as well as nearby towns for exploring. David is super down to earth, cares about conservation, and is an all around amazing host. We had a rainy weekend but still had a spectacular time. We will most definitely be back.

4 nights at T Spot Campsite

We loved David's spot and enjoyed every part of our trip. There was a perfect spot in the creek that we kept going back to, and the skies were full of stars on a clear night. It was a good amount of seclusion where you feel the peacefulness but know you're 10 minutes out from lively towns. Such wonderful memories were made on this trip.

1 night at Quail Lane Farm

The space was private, the RV made it to the spot with no issues, and it was flat. Andrea was kind and helpful.

Weekend Trip to The Catskill And Chill

I loved this spot clean and very cute for a little get away with the hubs we enjoyed the downtown during the day as well, it did rain a bit so I wish they had the tent cover on the pop up tent that was over the table vs just the metal part of it so we could of enjoyed still being outside but still enjoyed 😊

Weekend Trip to The Catskill And Chill

My only complaint is that I didn’t stay another night! Easy directions to find the site even in the dark, super cute cozy camper, very clean, well-stocked, overall the perfect HipCamp experience. Planning to come back!

Weekend Trip to The Catskill And Chill

The camper was wonderful! It was very cozy and warm even in below freezing temperatures. John was very helpful and receptive to any questions we had. Thanks for the great stay!

Weekend Trip to The Catskill And Chill

We had an absolutely lovely stay at this Catskills camper! The space was perfect for our little weekend away and we absolutely loved the hammock. It’s perfectly located between multiple towns so you have a lot to explore! John was an excellent host who answered our questions right away and even came down ASAP to help when we realized the trailer was out of propane. I would totally recommend this place for couples looking for a romantic glamping getaway close to the city.

Gus's Gardens

4 sites · RVs9 acres · Wilmington, VT

With the main house built in 1860 this property has seen many uses such as a farm, retail Christmas store, church, rental cabins, and a gravel quarry among other things. I now try to keep the back acreage by the brook and pond as natural as possible for habitat, as well as you the campers! Learn more about this land: Most will have cell service at the site or there is a free public Wi-Fi in Wilmington center. Private yet convenient to Downtown Wilmington, VT. Located between the Harriman reservoir and Lake Raponda, both great for boating, fishing and swimming. As well as the Deerfield River across the street, which runs through town. There is a public hiking trail that goes through the property. It goes from the Fairview ave. boat launch in Wilmington, all the way up to West Dover. You can access this at the back of the site. The site is only a minutes drive from downtown Wilmington, or you can hike/bike there on the trail (approx 15 min). In Wilmington there is plenty of shopping, gifts, coffee, restaurants, gas, liquor store. I also have dry, split firewood available for $5 on site. Please don't bring your own unless it is prepackaged from shaws or bought from one of the local sellers right around me. Transportation of out of state firewood can bring invasive beetles to our forests...

Feel free to reserve your own firewood. $10 *PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE BOOKING* I want to be transparent with you guys on the property and size of the camper! -The camper is very small only 21ft. The average height clearance is 6'2" so if you are tall this may not be for you. (I'm 5'9" and its comfortable for me) -If you are a bigger person this may feel too tight for you especially in the bathroom area -The bed is a full size some couples may feel that this is to small for them. -A hot shower will last about 15 minutes once it is heated up. -In the summertime there is bugs some may get into the camper. We do treat the area with safe bug spray but it may not fully prevent them. -There are two other tiny houses and a main house on the property. They are far apart but the main house is close. We have a privacy fence that fully blocks the house.

Site guidelines Do be careful driving on the dirt jeep track out to the camp. Don't miss swimming in the Roaring Kill Falls. Do leave the campsite just as you found it. "Don't feed the bears." Seriously, do keep a very clean camp. Do ask questions about local activities- swimming holes, hiking, etc. Please take all trash with you, leave no trace!
