Weekend Trip to Crystal Spring Camp

As we pulled around the windy gravel road, we came upon a clearing across from the Art Trail. Tucked under tall, fragranced pine trees, we found multiple tiki torches leading to an iron table and chairs, situated beside the fire pit. We decided to tuck our tent under the pines on a ground of needles, next to the cozy wooden bench. The grounds were idyllic, full of birdsong and soft breezes. We found a spot for the hammock to lounge in the shade… and while it was a 90’ day, it was pleasant and cooler under the pines. There is a small active stream a short walk from the camp. The owners of Crystal Spring, Rose and Eric, are quite lovely, helpful, and friendly. They came to greet us with a bouquet of various herbs from their garden. Overall, this was such a sweet little getaway. We will definitely be back soon x

Weekend Trip to Forest Treasure Island

We had a great camping experience in the woods! The property is beautiful, with its own farm, garden, and cozy patios equipped with BBQ grills—perfect for relaxing and enjoying nature. Even though we were switched from the Cabbage Tent to a regular tent, our host Diana went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Her hospitality truly made the stay memorable. Highly recommend!

My cousin and I rent camped on Jan’s property and it was the highlight of our camping trip. They were lovely, welcoming, and we felt safe and slept well. The animals were fun to watch and play with. Thanks again!

1 night at The Dominion House Farm and Trails

This is a great spot to camp! Quiet and peaceful, but easy access to a bunch of things nearby. The grounds are beautiful. I stayed in a tent site previously and this time around, I brought my camper. Having electricity for my camper was really helpful.

Weekend Trip to BeaverWood Farm (no children)

We loved Beaverwood Farm ! The hosts Paul & Marilyn are such warm wonderful people whom made us feel comfortable and welcome. The farm animals made us laugh and they are so sweet. We fed them some treats (veggies and corn) and they were our best friends. There were a lot of other people which was great because we did not feel alone. We are beginner campers so this is a great place to start. I highly recommend this place because we had a great time. It is very clean and well maintained. The G.O.A.T (Greatest Of All Time) of the goats :-)

Weekend Trip to BeaverWood Farm (no children)

Absolutely incredible place. Paul and Marilyn are extremely cool, chill, and kind. Paul pulls out all the stops to make sure you are getting plenty of animal time. He let us hold baby goats and baby chickens! There were some annoying campers running a generator all day/night but another camper complained and Paul rode over on his ATV to firmly but kindly shut it down which we all appreciated. We will absolutely be coming back as long as we can!

I just got back and am already planning our next trip because I miss it already!

Weekend Trip to Forest Treasure Island

Nice spot in a beautiful woody area with various barnyard animals and a play structure for kids. Very friendly and helpful hosts!

3 nights at BeaverWood Farm (no children)

I toyed with the idea of making this a fan letter to Paul and Marilyn, but decided against it… Beaverwood is a can’t-miss campsite in the heart of the Catskills with the amazing Paul and Marilyn who are the consummate hosts. My partner and I arrived on Thursday and they were polite, helpful and enthusiastic about us joining them for the long weekend. We knew all about the different animals, the rules of the site and best of all we knew all we needed to know to feel comfortably at home for the duration of our stay. Camping in these sorts of grounds is a pleasure and we had everything we needed. We even had Paul give us a quick tow out of the mud on day 1! 10/10 would recommend and 10/10 will be back!

3 nights at BeaverWood Farm (no children)

First let me say how lovely Paul and Marilyn are- they have enviable energy levels which helps them maintain jovial attitudes while juggling many reservations, folks coming and going, and (no exaggeration) over 100 farm animals! The animals are FUN and there were tons of babies! The property is a perfect example of turning coal into a diamond. Yes, it’s imperfect due to activities and rubble from days gone by, but the views are stunning, the individual campsites are well cared for and the animals help to make lasting memories. A note for the guys: be prepared for a little frisky business if their pig “Princess Peach” is in heat! lol She’s gotta be all of 3/400 pounds and she definitely goes after what she wants. It was a hoot (for the women laughing nearby, unsure how to help)! 😂

Weekend Trip to BeaverWood Farm (no children)

Great stay! Crazy unique experience with the animals. I will say - the animals will get involved with your site. A cow walked into our tent and ripped it… but I guess that is to be expected! Overall, it was very positive. We loved the host and had a great time using the canoes and playing with the animals.

Weekend Trip to BeaverWood Farm (no children)

We had a great time camping on the farm! It’s a beautiful spot with lots of cute animals. The owners are very friendly and gave us great recommendations for nearby hikes and swim spots. Will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to BeaverWood Farm (no children)

The ideal. Best thing I’ve found on Hipcamp. Perfect hosts with charisma and courtesy who work hard to keep the place magical, a unique property with more than you can experience in a single stay. So many local attractions but nothing compares to waking up with a friendly cow or goat cruising by your campsite. And it’s really camping, not some glammed up experience. Excellent layout of sites and fire pits. A must visit in NY state.

Weekend Trip to Forest Treasure Island

Had a great time camping at forest treasure island. Kids went exploring all over the woods and especially loved the farm animals and playground!

2 nights at BeaverWood Farm (no children)

Such a great campsite! Lovely lake and forest views walking around the grounds and very well maintained considering all the animals roaming. The hosts are extremely welcoming and present, checking in whenever they see you and offering a baby goat to hold if available lol. Will wake up to roosters crowing and cows munching in your front lawn

Weekend Trip to Crystal Spring Camp

We loved staying here, the camp sites are super secluded and the hosts were very helpful and welcoming!

3 nights at BeaverWood Farm (no children)

I loved camping here! Paul and Marilyn are very kind and have a beautiful property and a great camping set up especially for groups. The animals were very friendly and pleasant to be around. We got to see baby goats that one of the mamas had while we were there, they were adorable! We got caught in the rain for a couple of days but we still made it work and the animals made it more worth it, the warm showers definitely helped. I would definitely recommend coming here if you enjoy the farm scenery and I will definitely be back!

2 nights at Crystal Spring Camp

Absolutely best experience. Land owners were extremely kind and courteous, was not bothered at all during my stay. Beautiful property, and nice hiking trails as well. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend. Definitely coming back to this one for sure.

The Mountain Top @Wright's Farm

7 sites · RVs, Tents450 acres · Gardiner , NY

It all started when grandfather Charles B Wright first establish this farm in 1904. He purchased it for its natural springs. In our barn (now home to Gardiner Brewing Company) he had gravity fed water troughs for his cattle. Since then we have slowly switched from animals to tree fruit. You will enjoy rolling hills of fruit trees and fruit gardens along with beautiful views of the Shawangunk Mountain Ridge. We have 450+ acres so it in very private. As we are a working farm, you can see us driving pass with our tractors or maintaining the orchard around your campsite on occasion. You are welcome to ride your bikes, hike or jog where you will pass ponds and a working farm landscape. Please don’t pick our fruit. If you would like to enjoy the fruits of our labor please visit our farm store open year round on the premises where we sell cheeses, our fresh picked fruit and veggies, local meats, and our famous cider donuts along with other farm products. We also have a farm brewery open 3-7 in our old dairy barn for you to enjoy. Live music Saturdays and Sundays. Minnewaska State Park and Mohonk Reserve are only 10 minutes away. The rail trail is three minutes away. This trail gives you walking and biking access into New Paltz, where there is tons of restaurants and lots of shopping. Please be aware that during the months of September and October there may be a Pick-Your-Own customer or two walking around picking apples around the campsite area between the hours of 10:00-6:00. You are also welcome to come down to the farm market and purchase bags to pick your own apples in season.
