Always working on improvements! My second glamping site "The Medieval Encampment", is available for booking starting April 1st of 2025. I will have more pictures soon. In April of 2024, my long awaited 1st Glamping site was available for booking. It's been very popular! Please read the description carefully of the "Gypsy Rose Vardo", to see if it's the right fit for you. I also have 10 large camping sites available on our 33 acre property located in Northwest NJ. Sites 1 through 4 are on mowed, fairly level fields and are large enough for campers or RV's up to 30ft, or a couple of tents, and sites 5 and 6 are further back in the woods, available only for a few small tents, sites 7 through 10 are much further into the property and are only accessible with a high clearance AWD or 4WD SUV or you can park and hike your gear in. There are 3 compost toilet outhouses spread out through the property, so it's an easy walking distance from any site. Although we are only 2 1/2 miles from a main highway, the last 2 miles are on a dirt road with no houses. We are surrounded by protected land, so no neighbors and lots of wildlife, including the occasional bear, coyote or raccoon. Keep all food items secured. Because we are surrounded by protected land we are not sprayed for insects, so be safe and do tick checks often and bring the bug spray. We are 45 minutes from NYC or the Delaware Water Gap and an hour away from the NJ shore. There are horse farms nearby that offer trail rides. We are also close to the Highland and Appalachian Hiking trails. There are two reservoirs within a 20-minute drive for canoeing or kayaking. There are walking trails through our property, including a ten-minute hike on a marked trail to a small waterfall in a ravine.

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.

The Terry is an adorable vintage 1970’s camper trailer nestled in the back corner secret garden area of Marina 59, a marina on the bayside of Far Rockaway, Queens, NYC filled with creative structures, beautiful boats and wonderful wildlife. The RV has a queen size bed that comfortably fits 2. There is a new, powerful AC, a toaster oven, a fridge, a hot water kettle, and all the kitchen basics. The bathrooms, with large comfortable showers, are a quick walk away at the Marina entrance. Your rental includes parking in the marina lot and a clicker to come and go as desired. Outside the doors, there’s a decent super market, a Dunkin’ Donuts, and a gas station. The beach is only three blocks away. The beach where numerous surf lessons take place is 9 blocks away. We are close to JFK airport - super convenient, but you will hear some plane traffic overhead. We're the perfect spot to stay if you have a layover at the airport and want to head to the beach. The marina is also home to Sail Rockaway, that has sailing lessons and trips along the beautiful Jamaica Bay. Great birdwatching as well because we are located at the edge of the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. It's truly a magical spot! In addition, I've opened a shipping container store, Tree Rock NYC, right by the bathroom. Please stop in and check us out! The Terry is a perfect retreat for surfers, sun lovers, bird watchers and anyone who loves to enjoy all that Rockaway has to offer. And it’s an easy breezy subway / bus / ferry / drive away from the city! In summer, there are surfing classes, sailing and fishing trips, and numerous concerts and performances. I'm very willing to help you find the fun and adventure you seek here in Rockaway.

Molly was terrific and the setting on the farm was great. Serene, private, beautiful. A little car noise, but quieted down at bedtime.

This is our second time booking with Kathy and it is something we look forward to now each year! The camp sites are awesome and spaced apart and the outhouse is so well cleaned and maintained. This place is auch a great break from the craziness of the working life.

I had the pleasure of staying at Kathleen's Paradise Valley Homestead (site #5). Site 5 is made for hammock campers! With well spaced trees throughout the site. Tent campers need not worry as there are many level spots for tents. As an added bonus, it's close to the CLEAN composting privy. I thought it was more secluded, but there's foliage mostly concealing the one neighboring site. If you're not used to air traffic noise, it could be an issue for you. It's not horrible by any means, but enough to make me take notice (and I'm used to it). The site itself was clean, with a great fire ring and cooking screens. The available wood for sale is good wood! I'll have to come back and check out the other sites.

What a great location and everything was so well thought through and organized. Leaves were beautiful and trails were charming. The Gypsy wagon is a win for kids. Would love to come again.

Nice spot! The site was large, clean, and just as advertised. The host stopped by to say hello and was very welcoming. We used this as a home base to hike sections of the Appalachian Trail — it’s a bit of a drive to the trail, but worked out well for us. At $45 a night, it was a good stay and we’d stay here again

Tent camping here was great. We picked Site 10 specifically because it looked secluded and it definitely was. We could barely hear or see anyone else from the site which is exactly what we were looking for. The host was kind and informative and we would definitely come back for another visit!

If you’ve ever dreamed of stepping straight into the pages of history, Kathleen's Medieval Encampment is the place to go. Kathleen gave us the royal treatment, showing us the campsite features and amenities. The campsite itself is beautifully arranged around a central fire circle, with tents modeled after authentic historic pavilions. Each pavilion was sturdy, weatherproof, and surprisingly comfortable (furnished with cots in one shelter and a queen sized bed in another). Evenings were spent around the fire, and on one occasion a friend of Kathleen's stopped by and played music for us. The stars above Paradise Valley Homestead were brilliant—no light pollution, only the crackle of the fire and the sound of owls in the woods. It felt peaceful and otherworldly; like relaxing in a much simpler time.

We weren’t at Sundial Farm much since we were in town for an art show, but it was such a lovely place to come back to each evening. The setting is beautiful and peaceful, and it was wonderful to have a fire every night. We really appreciated the provided water and firewood, such thoughtful touches. A comfortable, convenient, and relaxing stay!

1 night at Paradise Valley Homestead

We arrived at night and had a short visit but Kathleen was super helpful and responsive and the land was thoughtfully laid out. There were no other reservations around us but the sites appeared to be far enough apart that it wouldn’t have made a difference. Outhouse was very clean and there are several walking trails available.

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!
