The best vintage trailer rentals in Hudson Valley

From the Catskill mountains to historic villages along the river, the south-eastern corridor of New York has a certain romance. These sweeping vistas inspired the Hudson River School painters and continue to lure artists from New York City, less than an hour away. Today, the Hudson Valley is a blend of charming towns, rolling farmland and protected forests, as wells as posh resorts and restaurants. The Metro-North commuter line run as far north as Poughkeepsie for campers who don't have a car.

Harriman State Park and neighboring Bear Mountain State Park are an ideal home base to explore both nature and civilization. Harriman is the second largest park in the state, but only 40 miles from the city. The quiet forest holds 200 miles of hiking trails and dozens of lakes. The largest, Lake Sebago, has fishing, boat rentals, and a public swimming beach. Campers can make reservations at two campgrounds or book a rustic cabin.

For thinner crowds, head north to the Catskills. These rolling green peaks have some of New York's best hiking and skiing. The area also has many private campgrounds and cottages, including camping resorts that tend toward the glamorous with mini fridges and saunas.

North-South Lake is a popular family campground, with sandy beaches, boating, and a playground, as well as hundreds of tent sites. Hike up to the Kaaterskill Falls for a gorgeous view. Experienced hikers can press onward to the Devil's Path, one of the most dangerous trails in the East. For quiet nights, head to the nearby Minnewaska State Park Preserve, which has a much smaller campground and easy trails.

It goes without saying that you can explore the river valley by water as well. The Hudson River Greenway Water Trail stretches over 250 miles from Manhattan to the Adirondacks. The Greenway's map covers access points for kayak launching, along with nearby campsites in state parks.

Weekend Trip to Little Duck Farm

This was my second time staying here and it was just as delightful as the first! The camper is cozy, clean, and well-equipped and the outhouse situation is even better now. A lovely spot to make a fire and hang out under the stars.

Weekend Trip to The Outlier Inn

This place is really cool! It’s nothing like a normal campground, there are out door kitchen areas that are shared and stocked with everything you could need equipment-wise. There is a beautiful pond, a working sauna, and a free use outdoor clawfoot tub, an amphitheater with a stage for events, and so much more. Dogs are allowed off leash so they can roam somewhat freely along the property as long as they are well behaved. There is a barn with a shop on the property where you can pick up meats, eggs, etc all handled through cash or Venmo transactions all honor system based. The property is huge so you don’t feel like you are on top of other people at all and each site has its own picnic table, fire pit and firewood stock. This is a place that you can tell reuses, repurposes, and up cycles what they can and they have done an amazing job making it feel cool and laid back. Our least favorite part were the outhouses (bathrooms) because they are pit style bathrooms, no flushing toilets. Nonetheless, I would recommend anyone to come check this place out. Josh was super nice and always available by text if needed. Highly recommend

2 nights at The Outlier Inn

We loved staying at the Outlier Inn. We rented the Vintage Trailer for a couple of nights. It was the perfect size for a small family of four. Stunning grounds, spacious, and quiet. Josh was a great host, making sure everything in the trailer was set and we had everything we needed. If any guest had a question or needed assistance, Josh was on it immediately. What we liked most about this place is that each 'cabin' is unique. The communal kitchens are equipped with all you need, and the outdoor showers were a refreshing surprise. A great place, whether you are a couple or a group of 20, the Outlier Inn can accommodate everyone. cannot wait to plan the next trip.

Weekend Trip to Little Duck Farm

We loved staying in the camper on Liza's farm! Not only was it easy to find, but it was also private and cozy. Staying in the camper truly is like being in a 1970's time capsule :)

Weekend Trip to Little Duck Farm

My boyfriend and I stayed here for two nights on an upstate camping trip celebrating our anniversary and it was such a great experience! Camper was private and very cozy. Campfire was also a very nice set up with plenty of chairs and a hammock. Very close to good eats , hiking and fishing spots. Hostess is very sweet and responsive and the eggs from Little Duck Farm are to die for ! Also , the barn cat was the sweetest ! Don’t stay here if you’re not an animal person because there’s a lot of them! This was one of my first experiences in a camper and it was a pleasant one, I recommend it highly.
