Sundial Farm
Pitch your tent and pick our apples by the pond on Westchester’s oldest working farm. You’ll enjoy complete privacy and quiet.
The Hawkey family has worked Sundial Farm for nearly half a century, from indoor plants to perennials to dressage school, to organic veggies, selling antiques, hosting a local CSA and farm stand, and most recently native plant landscaping with PlanIt Wild.
Sundial Farm can also be seen in many Hollywood productions, such as Blackkklansmen, The Hunters, and American Gangster.
*You may come across reviews talking about the farm stand and animals. Sadly those are no longer here, so stock up on goodies before you arrive.

We had a perfect time at the orchard! Molly was the best host. She greeted us when we arrived and was always available. She also gave us firewood and water. The farm is beautiful and the camping spot is sequestered away from the main farm activities—it’s great. Would come back again anytime.

Molly was very responsive and a pleasant host. Due to a miscommunication we were not at the orchard site so I can’t comment on that, we were at a big open field site. There was plenty of room and Molly provided wood and water and stumps to sit on by the fire. We were very happy about the orchard popup there in the morning to get cider and apple donuts! Very fun stop on pur bike packing trip through Westchester.

This was a perfect camping experience for our family. The campsite was hidden from view but a short walk to the bathroom, and Molly provided firewood and water. So much more intimate and enjoyable than a public campground!

Great weekend escape from NYC.
Molly is a great host! She responded my message very quick and very welcoming!
Access: Took metro north from the city and got off at Croton - Harmon station. I called Uber (10min wait). I saw taxi station right in front of the station —easy access without car.
Campsite: Exactly as shown on the photos. If you are wondering about which site to pick;
Under apple tree location (the site I picked): more surrounded feeling by trees around. All the way back of the farm. Close to the busy road, so if you prefer to quiet location, I would recommend going the other one.
More open site (the site I did not pick this time): more open space on the small hill. If you would like to see open sky or let your kids running around, this site would be good for you. Close to barn/bathroom.
If you do not have a car, I would recommend finishing your shopping before taking the train (ShopRite is nearby the Croton-Harmon station but it is a bit hard to reach on foot due to the highway).

Molly was so friendly and accommodating. She brought us fresh water as she checked in and she was so understanding of our dog who likes her own space. The site has a lot of shade underneath the beautiful orchard trees' low canopy so it's perfect for the summer to help keep you cool. The ground is flat so you'll be able to sleep comfortably.
Sharing this if it helps anyone else in the future, but the site is located not too far from a big road. Sometimes big muscle cars or motorcycles with engine sounds that "pop" would drive by and my dog who is afraid of fireworks had a hard time during the night thinking it was some fireworks. If you don't have a dog that is sensitive, then I would recommend!

Cute camper with great convenience to the beach! It is parked in a driveway in an urban environment so it's not like an isolated quiet space, but since we knew that going in found it perfect for an urban getaway!
