Stories from the community

Weekend Trip to Wallkill River Camping

Easy to find the spot and it was well laid out with fire pit, chairs, table, and ample soft ground for tent camping down hill toward the river.

Weekend Trip to Forest Treasure Island

Stayed here for one night with a buddy and our four girls, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home. The girls had an absolute blast—especially playing with the adorable puppies, roasting marshmallows around the campfire, and hanging out in the spacious tent. The site was comfortable, well set up, and perfect for a quick escape. We’re already talking about when we can come back. Highly recommend!

1 night at Historic Riverside Farm

Great experience! There’s a river and also many farms nearby that you could visit. 20-30 min drive to ice cave trail which is very fun.

Weekend Trip to Upper Shire Campsites Hudson Valley

We loved camping at Upper Shire! The cabin was amazing. It was cozy and had all of the amenities that we needed and then some! It was well built and very cute. We definitely recommend taking the canoe out on the little pond. It was gorgeous. Joanna was extremely hospitable. We are definitely coming back.

Weekend Trip to Historic Riverside Farm

We had such a great time at Sam and Melissa's farm! The setting was beautiful and peaceful—we especially loved spending time down by the river. There was lots of privacy and our dog loved swimming and exploring the open space! We even saw some deer. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t fully cooperate and it rained quite a bit, which meant we had to cut our stay short. But Sam and Melissa were incredibly accommodating and kindly refunded us for the night we had to forgo due to the weather. We really appreciated their hospitality and would definitely love to come back under sunnier skies!

Weekend Trip to Historic Riverside Farm

We loved our time here! The property is beautiful, directions were clear, paths were maintained so well, the rushing creek nearby was cathartic. The camping ‘toilet’ was easy to maneuver. We would love to return!

Weekend Trip to Bare Camping

this campsite felt like a hidden oasis in their backyard! there was enough privacy where we felt like we were alone and the sound of the stream at night put us right to sleep.

Weekend Trip to Wallkill River Camping

Beautiful site and super clean porta potty! Felt very private.

Weekend Trip to Wallkill River Camping

A beautiful & amazing place to stay (rain or shine) haha. We had one heck of a storm the night we were there, but it was still great. An amazingly clean porta potty. Sarah even checked on us to make sure we made it safely out after the storm. Very private.

5 nights at Blue Wind Nature Camp

We loved tent camping at Blue Wind Nature Camp. Mikes a great host! We chose the further campsite with a clearing surrounded by trees. Beautiful site to wake up in. The indoor shower, toilet and sink was amazing! Highly recommend. Oh! And my 3 boys adored the cats and pups and I loved the chickens.

1 night at Gunx Camping On A Horse Farm!

Wally was a great host! Plenty of well maintained camping spots on the farm.

2 nights at Red Fox Meadow Campsite

Camping here was great! The trails were very fun and my pup got to go swimming in the pond- the location was super close to everything we needed but still private and out in the woods, I’d love to come back!

2 nights at The Record Room

From NOFX to Lynyrd Skynyrd, listening to all of the albums on the record player was a dream! While we did go on an excursion to the Catskills, we could have stayed and enjoyed ourselves foreverrrr. Not only does the nature and cabin provide the most amazing backdrop for a getaway, but the Rio Dam, Hawks Nest Lookout, and Point Jarvis attractions are minutes away! Our two dogs LOVED the privacy of the spot, and we loved the outdoor kitchen, hot tub, and that bed was soooooo comfy! With the added perks of endless firewood and tiki lights, our stay on Masen's land was truly magical! Thank you for taking such good care of us!!

5 nights at Gunx Camping On A Horse Farm!

Loved this horse farm! Great location, and being right next to Damn Good Honey was really convenient.

1 night at BeaverWood Farm (no children)

We had the most wonderful time! Paul and Marilyn are very sweet and accommodating. We enjoyed hanging out with all the animals. We also had a great time canoeing on the lake. We would definitely recommend visiting!

Weekend Trip to Burr Oaks Forest secluded campsites

Really great property, kind, flexible caretakers even in the rain! Our site was exactly as advertised.

Weekend Trip to The Dominion House Farm and Trails

Spacious campsite with picnic table, metal fire ring, and free wood scraps. Site is open so visible to other sites, but separated well enough for privacy. Rail to trail in easy walking distance. Site 4 has a low tree/hedge that shaded cooler during day. Primitive camping. Poor mobile reception, so I used the B&B WiFi sitting in my car outside the house. There’s a hose tap for water on the side of the house. Eric is friendly, helpful, and communicative. I will be back.

Weekend Trip to Blue Wind Nature Camp

This was my second time staying at Blue Wind with a large group of friends and we loved it! We got hit with some pretty rainy/muddy weather and still had a great time. Mike provided lots of free firewood and made an effort to keep it dry for us. He was very accommodating and the indoor restroom/hot shower was especially appreciated during the rain. The campsite itself was very private but nearby great stores and hikes.

1 night at Red Fox Meadow Campsite

Great camp grounds!! Easy parking/very close to campsites. Nice spacious campsites. Super close to a really nice bike/walking trail. Wish we brought out bikes this time but next time! They had live music when we arrived around afternoon which was super cool and then very respectful and quiet for the evening. Highly recommend!

Mickelberry Forest Gardens

2 sites · RVs, Tents4 acres · Newtown , CT

The meadow we occupy was once the farmers property that I grew up next to at my parents farm house. When he wanted to sell his property he offered it to us for purchase at a fair price if we would not develop more than we needed to live here. We maintained the meadow adjacent to our property and have kept it as an agricultural site. We have had our son develop an edible forest garden and a unique diversified small orchard so we can eat and share healthy organic fruits and vegetables while helping our environment and wildlife and educating others to do the same. It is expensive to live in Newtown but we love our property. We want to teach others to grow food from their land while helping to support us keeping our adjacent property agricultural and undeveloped. Our property has provided many happy gatherings and events and we love to share it with others. Let us know if there is anything special we can help provide for you. Come visit Mickleberry!!! Learn more about this land: Thank you to all the wonderful friends we have met through this amazing program. We regret that our community at this time does now allow for "transient" renting of property and I unknowingly was operating outside of the zoning rules and regulations of our town. Please continue to get outside and enjoy all the beautiful places and spaces this world has to offer and keep in touch. We love you all! Thank you for your support! Bill and Amy Enjoy your stay next to our edible forest garden on the Edge of a beautiful meadow along side the orchard of berries, nuts and fruit trees.

Hickory Hollow

2 sites · Tents9 acres · Catskill, NY

Welcome to Hickory Hollow! Located 7 minutes from the Town of Catskill, 25 minutes from Hudson, and just under the Catskill Mountains, Hickory Hollow is the perfect campsite to take full advantage of the Upper Hudson Valley. There are two campsites you can chose from, both in clearings that make for great star gazing. Camp 1 is deeper into the forest taking about two minutes to walk to from the parking area. Camp site 2 is only a one minute walk but much closer to the farm. If you are coming with a dog, I would recommend staying at Camp site 1, as the farms dogs are very vocal when there are new friends in the area. Each campsite comes with a fire pit, a grate for cooking, and a picnic table. There is parking provided and a composting outhouse. You will need to bring your own firewood, though there is plenty of available kindling. The property is 9 acres and I encourage guests to hike down to the stream and take a walk if they feel comfortable. If not there are so many hiking/swimming options nearby and I am happy to point you in the right direction. This property has a been a life long dream of mine, and is (in my opinion) the most beautiful place on earth. That being said there is a still a lot of work that I am doing since this is a very new endeavor. So please watch yourself if you do decide to stay. The Hollow is beautiful but also very steep, so please be careful while you walk the woods. Pets are welcome, but again, be safe. There is an abundance of wildlife in the Hollow (see if you can spot the porcupine) but that can be very distracting for dogs, so be cautious when letting them off lead. Check out https://www.instagram.com/0hickoryhollow/ for photos of the progress.
