The best vintage trailer rentals near New Paltz, New York

About 90 minutes north of New York City, this college town sits on the Wallkill River facing dramatic stone cliffs. New Paltz has a laid-back feel, with corner pubs and farmers markets to grab camping ingredients. The historic village is close to the Hudson River and the Catskill Mountains, so it's easy to make day trips to both. Just 8 miles away, the Shawangunk Mountains loom on the horizon. Locals call them the Gunks. The Minnewaska State Park Preserve is here, offering hiking trails, waterfalls, and world-class rock-climbing. Bikes can explore the lovely carriage roads, and there's swimming at Lake Minnewaska. The Mohonk Preserve is a protected section of this same mountain ridge. The recently constructed Samuel F. Pryor III Shawangunk Gateway Campground is here. The tent-only campgrounds offer both walk-in and drive-in spots, plus a communal cooking area with a pavilion. New Paltz has about a half dozen private campgrounds within a short drive. Options range from RV parks with full hook-ups to private farms, rustic cabins, and outdoor resorts with swimming pools. Less than an hour's drive away, campers can pitch a tent at other large public parks. The 14,000-acre Fahnestock State Park is to the south. To the north is the Kenneth L. Wilson Campground near Slide Mountain, the Catskill's highest peak.

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.
