Weekend Trip to Glamp at Coyote Creek
The campsite is so great for our needs: 3 good sized tents for our families to camp together. They're close enough that the little kids can safely run between them and around the common area but not so close it's noisy for each other. The grills, fire pits, dishwashing stations and toilet/shower amenities are clean, useful, well-maintained and appreciated. As were the badminton net and swings! Loved our second annual trip here.

Weekend Trip to Oak Grove Acres
What a perfect little spot! After biking around the area most of the day, this was the ideal spot to rest. Tom and MaryAnn were very accommodating and did a great job making sure the camper had all the essentials. While I didn't get to make a fire, Tom did offer free wood, which is rare on Hipcamp. The location is excellent and is not far from cute little towns like Frenchtown and Flemington. Would love to visit again and explore the area more.

One of my favorite stays on HipCamp. The camper is adorable and filled with cute details. Had everything we needed for cooking inside the camper, as well as wood, tools, and a grate for cooking outside. No complaints!

Weekend Trip to Glamp at Coyote Creek
I spent two days here this weekend.
I arrived a little late on Friday.
Cindy's preparation was perfect. I didn't have to do anything else. Also, Cindy explained everything kindly, and even I, who spoke English badly, could easily understand it.
I would like to thank Cindy.
The weather was perfect, and the sound of grass bugs at night was also nice. Cleanly maintained facilities made camping even more enjoyable. I'll visit you again next time.

My husband, our 1-year-old daughter, and I had the most peaceful and adorable stay at the Serenity pink camper! From the moment we arrived, it felt like we’d stepped into a storybook—everything was pink, cozy, and full of charm. 💕
The camper itself was clean and oh-so-cute. They even had the sweetest camper mugs that made morning coffee feel extra special. We made pasta on the working stove (yes, full pasta night in the woods!) and grilled burgers on the little charcoal grill, which worked perfectly.
We lit a fire in the fire pit and cuddled up nearby. Our daughter absolutely loved it—she was running around barefoot on the grass, giggling, and totally in her element. She found a frog, a ladybug, butterflies, ants, and was just so happy exploring and playing with sticks. She was completely in love with nature—it was beautiful to watch. 🌿🦋🐸
The owners were very communicative and kind, which made everything even more enjoyable and stress-free.
Tip: don’t forget to bring bug repellent! You're surrounded by nature, and the bugs definitely like to say hello.
This was the perfect escape from the city hustle. So peaceful, so cute, and filled with small joys. 💖

The best river, stream, or creek glamping sites near New York City guide
Where to go
The Gateway National Recreation Area
For a camping trip like no other, choose a park via The Gateway National Recreation Area. These NYC-area parks run the gamut, from Queens’ Breezy Point to New Jersey’s Sandy Hook. Check-in to your Sandy Hook tent site and savor your view of the Manhattan skyline. While you can certainly camp all over NYC, some of the best campgrounds are just a bridge away.
Long Island
If you’d rather go all-in on NYC’s beaches, look no longer than Long Island, which has long been a summer oasis for New York campers. Take your pick of beachfront tent sites, family-friendly RV campsites, and spacious state park campgrounds. Just don’t miss Hither Hills State Park, which is a relaxing place to spend your nights … and stretch out your days.
Make your way Upstate
For campers who prefer lush forests to sandy shorelines, drive north of NYC, where you’ll have your pick of quaint towns, gorgeous trails, and verdant trees. The Catskills are a popular getaway, as is New York’s other, major green space: the Adirondacks. If you’d rather stay on the other side of the Hudson River, explore Fahnestock State Park and Canopus Lake.
When to go
A NYC summer can’t be beat, when the city’s best outdoor spaces—we’re looking at you, Governors Island—become a picnicker’s playground. During the warmest months, tent sites, as well as lake campgrounds, are at their most accessible, though the shoulder seasons shouldn’t be overlooked. New York stuns during the fall, when campsites transform into their most colorful selves. It may be too chilly to swim, but what better time to roast s’mores around your campsite’s fire ring?
