Port Jervis, NY · 5 sites
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!!

Conesus, NY · 4 sites · Tents, RVs
Welcome,
Mission Conesus, originally built by Franciscan Catholics. These lands were likely chosen for many reasons. Suffice it to say there is something special here. Come discover for yourself.
Lose yourself here, or maybe find yourself, among the Hemlocks. First, a bit about the terrain. There is much in the way of forest, very mature, and a broad array of plant species.
Elevation differences are vast, land to the west is uphill for quite a ways, and downhill to the east, to Hemlock lake below, so the world here can feel a bit tilted.
We adjoin 150 acres of nature conservancy lands that nobody seems to know about. These lands are for respectful public daytime use. We also adjoin 6600 acres of NY state forest which is public property. Exploring all that is here would take a very long time! Want to get away? Welcome to our little slice of heaven.
See the provided map for site locations. Site 1 is open field and is near the pavilion, sites 2 and 3 are along the woods, and site 4 is the most private and tucked into the woods. We looking forward to hosting you, at the mission.

Unplug, unwind, and recharge amongst 250 acres of private property conservation forest at our peaceful waterfall campsite in a secluded 3-acre meadow .

This campsite is equipped with a single Queen-sized cot with air mattress, woodstove, portable camp toilet, solar heated sun shower. Bring your own bedding/sleeping bags. Drive-up access requires SUV-type clearance for the creek crossings. For easier 2 wheel access check out my other 5-star secluded campsite- Schoharie Creekside Tent. Only a quick drive to Tannersville, Hunter, Windham, Palenville, Woodstock, Phoenicia, Catskill and Saugerties where you can explore the cute town, restaurants, and shops.

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!

Comprised of two small kettle lakes (ice-age glacial deposits), Chenango Valley is truly a natural wonder to see with your own eyes. As expected, the two lakes (Chenango and Lily), are the main attraction(s). Swing by for a swim in the summer, and when Old Man Winter pays a visit to the area, it’s a little like the winter Olympics out here with ice fishing and ice skating.Perhaps the largest attraction to the park is birdwatching. Even if you’re not looking for ‘em you can’t miss spotting a unique sight out of hundreds of species in the area. So next time you’re in Broome County, pick out a campsite and perhaps cultivate your inner bird nerd while you’re here!

The views were great, the employees were extremely helpful and nice, the site was private with a great amount of space for our child and dogs. I loved this place and would easily come again.
Just a heads up, sometimes a train will go by in the middle of the night and the towns fire alarm will at times go off for a while. That didn't make the trip bad but worth noting if you have children.

This hip-camp had so many wonderful surprises! The host was just lovely he took us on a tour of his land, we got to meet his cows, goats and his horse! Our camp area was just gorgeous, it was up on a hill so great landscape views, flat ground for our tent set up, a table was there, a fire pit, a clean private bathroom is a few minute walk, or quick drive away. At night we were able to do some real stargazing, shooting stars, a meteor shower it was incredible. During the day we went to Chimney Bluffs state park, we found a Beautiful place to swim in lake ontario, we went to a few antique shops, then hit up a concert at paper mill island 35 minutes away. As two people who also host our own hip-camp and an Airbnb this was a perfect getaway for us and we will be back!

John and A.C.'s place is a beautiful, peaceful respite in Big Indian. My husband, our daughter, our dog and I had such a restful and fun time in their well appointed and cared for site. The beds were comfy, the tent clean and spacious and Escopus creek was great for taking a dip and using the clay to paint my daughter's face. John was on site to show us around our first day and was a great host. It's also well located-- we can't wait to return because we didn't make it to pedal cars on the railway or the gondola ride! Phoencia was totally worth a visit, though. Highly recommend!
