Great place to park if you're going to the city! Hookups and shower available! If you have a larger rig, use a Garmin to get there. Google will take you down roads with low clearance.

My second stay here, really love it as the only urban camping I’ve ever seen on HipCamp. Very safe, surprisingly quiet at night. Love the hot showers and Wi-Fi.

This place is pretty remarkable, because I’m sure you’ve never considered camping in New York City. The positives: easy to get to without a lot of City driving, plenty of space, electrical hook ups, safe section of town, bathrooms with toilets and showers, shockingly quiet at night. The Wi-Fi was fast and steady and it was good enough for me to have zoom meetings. The negatives: most of the sites aren’t actually numbered so you just sort of pick one but everyone who arrives looks very confused, the parking lot surroundings aren’t very beautiful and there’s a lot of weird stuff being stored in the parking lot from the gym next-door, and the bathrooms aren’t great. But, come on, it’s New York City. You’re not staying at the Ritz and this definitely is not the Ritz. This is absolutely the least expensive way to stay in New York while sleeping in your own bed. The subway is about four blocks away and it takes about 25 minutes to get to Manhattan. I absolutely loved it and will definitely be back.

Loved this quiet spot along the river! The campsite was clean, peaceful and perfect for our stopover on the way to VT.
Wishes we could have stayed a couple days and enjoyed a bit more!
Definitely would come back in the warmer season and enjoy the water and nearby attractions.

I will come back again and again. This was the most relaxing trip I’ve had. There are not many sites to offer private and peaceful camping. We were able to watch blue herons, egrets and geese fly in, in the morning and land on the river. We were able to enjoy yoga and meditation right by the river. We had two partridges hang out at our site for two days that just wandered around and were of no nuisance. Sitting in the swing at the top of the hill we had deer wandering around us. Despite getting there after dark, the instructions to get to our site were easy and after settling in, the owner came down and greeted us with our eggs. Everything is well taken care of. We feel like we’ve found a hidden gem.

Wonderful stay at site 2. The land is beautifully groomed, the view of the hill on one side and the stream on the other was perfect. There’s a brewery nearby too if you want to go for a day trip, very fun. Looking forward to coming back. The sites are nicely distanced. Thanks again

Site #3 A beautiful, secluded spot on a river!
Lots of space to spread out. No one else around which is why I liked it.
Sound of the river, stars at night, birds, a perfect campfire ring…. And I had a wonderful time.

We had a tragic family emergency and had to cancel a few days before our trip to visit. So we did not get to visit yet but I so appreciated Sam and Melissa’s kindness and understanding I wanted to praise them as hosts. Hope to visit in the future.

We loved the campsite. It was at the edge of a very nice meadow right next to a beautiful stretch of the river. Other campsites were spaced apart nicely for privacy and the port o potty was clean. We got in late our first night and we were able to do some star gazing. I managed to catch a small fish in the river the next day.
Unfortunately, when we arrived the firewood we purchased was not there. When we messaged Melissa saying our firewood was not there, we got the impression that she didn't believe us. She asked around the other campsites to see if anyone took the wood and told us that no one took it. Whatever the case, we had no wood at our site. She did eventually bring us the firewood after some confusing back-and-forth. This put a damper on an otherwise great trip.

This place is phenomenal. You can see that the owners really care, everything is so nicely made in clean like I really upgraded Hotel.
The hot tub took me about six hours to get my desired temperature. Part of it was because I didn’t know. I have to close the door while it was burning.
But after all, it was well worth the work!
I have noticed over the years there are two types of places, one, is where the owner wants to make money and have no choice, but to serve so he can collect from his guest money. Two, an owner that wants to serve his guest, but has no choice and have to charge money in order to stay open and be able to serve more people
The owners from this place are from the second category, they want to give and serve their guest. You can feel it in every aspect.
Thank you

The space is very well maintained and is beautiful.
The space is clearly marked and directions are accurate.
We stayed at site 5, a short walk to the river (less than a minute from the site down a gentle slope).
For end of summer, it was perfect and open.
For hotter months, this is just something to consider (see below regarding other sites).
The tent platform had tie off points and there is a food prep area, a picnic table and a folded grill grate for cooking.
We roamed the vast space and saw sites 1, 2, and 3, which are all closer to the water and also look like excellent spots with shade for summer, also well maintained.
There's a bench swing at the top of the hill overlooking 1, 2, and 3 and a bench on another hill.
I feel like the hosts must have done Hipcamp before and decided they were going to make their place exceptional for their guests, which they definitely did for us.
Road noise was minimal and distant.
Geese, ducks and heron on the river, as well as deer.

I loved camping at this site! It was private and serene, being right on the river was fantastic. Melissa was a great host and brought us additional firewood several times throughout the trip. Our toddler aged son loved walking around the paths and looking at plants and bugs. I wouldn't hesitate to go back.

We stayed for one night and had a great experience! The campsite was peaceful, right by a creek, and just a short walk to the porta potty. The host was very nice and made sure we were set for the night with our purchased firewood
