Weekend Trip to The Woodstock Retreatment
I stayed in the 1968 time capsule in late fall while passing through the area. Katherine had a space heater setup upon arrival, which made the place feel cozy and inviting. Her personal design touches throughout made the space have loads of character. Great coffee and local books about the area to name a few. Katherine is very attentive to needs and knowledgeable about the area’s culinary scene and nature trails.
The site location is close enough to walk to Woodstock. The composting toilet was very clean and low impact. I would highly recommend The Woodstock Retreat to anyone looking for a unique space to relax in a forested setting and to venture off from. Thank you Katherine for a space to hang my hat and for being a super Hip Host! The trailer is a Gem!

Our time at Tin Valley in Upper Shire Campground was so special. Joanna’s land was beautifully maintained and the campsite had everything we needed and more - a fire pit, hammocks, comfortable beds to lay in, even an electric kettle and french press! The outhouse was a very convenient location and warm showers was a huge plus - made the weekend a perfect glamping excursion. Location was lovely as well, just a short drive from fantastic hikes like Bash Bish Falls and Little Apple Cidery, where we had a great time at the Orchard Bar. This was my first adventure through HipCamp and Joanna made it an easy and perfect experience - thank you!

Weekend Trip to Creekside & Private Camp Owls Hoot
We had a great time at the airstream! Kerri is a fantastic host with clear and quick communication. We were welcomed in and treated like family. The grounds are beautiful and there is plenty to do and see. The natural trails are beautiful and the pavilion with BBQ is top-notch.
The airstream is tastefully restored and super cozy. We had a great night's sleep on the comfy bed after hanging around the fire pit. Plus, the brook right next to the site provides great, calming white noise. Overall this is an excellent stay that I highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Upper Shire Campsites Hudson Valley
We had a fabulous weekend on and off the site. The site itself is beautiful and simple, with everything you could need. There were other campers but it felt totally private. The Airstream itself is so cute, and the bed was super comfortable. The shower is GREAT, plenty of hot water. We blew through our wood the first night (stargazing was spectacular) and Joanna delivered more for us the next morning. We did a ton of little activities nearby, guided by Joanna's helpful list. We'll definitely be back.

A perfect getaway, nature, comfort, and genuine hospitality!
We spent three incredible nights at this charming campground. The place is very private, well-kept, and incredibly peaceful. There's a beautiful lake with a little boat that adds a magical touch.
We stayed in the Airstream trailer and in the new Black & Tan Cabin, which was beautifully designed, super cozy, and very comfortable. It was a unique and fun experience! Everything was clean, carefully organized, and made us feel right at home.
One of the highlights was the outdoor shower a wonderful experience! The showers are new, with great water pressure and warm water, surrounded by nature. We loved swinging in the hammocks, gathering around the fire pit at night, and relaxing in the comfortable Adirondack chairs while gazing at the stars.
Joanna and Barbara welcomed us warmly and gave us great local tips on what to do in town and the surrounding area, super helpful!
It was a truly special stay from start to finish. We will definitely be back soon!

3 nights at Upper Shire Campsites Hudson Valley
Hosts are lovely and genuinely care about the visitors to this very special place. 5 great camp spots. Plenty of privacy. Very clean outdoor shower. We stayed in the retro Airstream which has comfortable sleeping inside. Enjoy the outside with a nice sunshield, table, chairs, fire pit and 2 hammocks. My bird app identified 11 different species of birds in just a few minutes one morning. Amazing. Loved it.

Joanna’s sites are beautifully and thoughtfully laid out. The airstream was comfortable and fun to sleep in. Joanna was communicative and helpful. We saw turtles in the pond, a barred owl, lotsa birds and deer walked by too.
