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.

East Stroudsburg, PA · 20 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Cranberry Run Campground is a small, family-owned campground in the Pocono Mountains, just outside East Stroudsburg, PA.
We've kept the spirit of 1970s camping alive - simple, low-key, and laid-back. No corporate or chain-campground feel, just a relaxed, family-run place to camp in the woods. We offer tent sites, RV hookups, and primitive cabins, with access to free hot showers and flush toilets. You can cool off in our swimming pool, fish in our pond, or unwind in our game room, stocked with board games, pool tables, air hockey, pinball, and other arcade-style games.
Cranberry Run is a place to unplug and slow down - but if you need to stay connected, we've got you covered, with free Wi-Fi in the game room, pool, and deck area, and strong cell service throughout the campground.
There's plenty of space for privacy, and you'll find lots to do - hiking, fishing, and exploring nearby swimming holes. We're also just minutes from local restaurants and shops, so you can enjoy both the adventure of the outdoors and the convenience of town.
We host live music and other unique events throughout the season. And as a small, family-run place, we're always happy to answer questions ahead of your visit. Whether you're looking to reconnect with family, friends, or yourself, we look forward to welcoming you to Cranberry Run.

Pocono Woodland Lakes, PA · 9 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
All lodging sites have heating for your comfort and are available year round! The River's Edge campsites sit on the shoreline of the Delaware River at the western edge of New York State overlooking the mountains of Pennsylvania. Our canvas tents and open air platforms perch between the river and the former Delaware & Hudson Canal which was once was used to transport raw goods by barge to New York City via the 'port' of Port Jervis. The remnants of the canal walls are throughout the property including a 300 person theater which we created to both preserve and feature this industrial history. It also makes a great place for an event or a movie night.
Today, the original canal towpath, along which barges would be pulled and floated downstream, is a trail that links all of the campsites over 5 acres and at the furthest end an eel fishing camp that is in operation from June to October.
In the early 1900s, the train replaced the canal as the primary method of moving goods into New York and if you are lucky — you will hear the train rumble by along the river on the Pennsylvania side. There is something spectacular in the absolute still and grandness of the river, the mountains and the ongoing industrial history of the valley. It is a reminder of the way things used to be.
The farmhouse and cabins are located opposite the campsites on other side of route 97. Next to them are 50 acres of wild forest to hike and explore. These accommodations are great for guests who want more amenities but still with easy access to river. Pair campsites and cabins so that all your guests have their best experience.
Contact us to coordinate for larger group bookings. Please note that a significant portion of county tax/fees and cancellation or change fees may be avoided by booking the base amount of people (4) and at a much later date adding extra guests. Guests NOT occupying canvas tent (lodging) and bringing their own tents should not be paying an occupancy tax but there is no provision for this in the app. We do not want our guests paying taxes -- that benefit no one but useless bureaucracy! Extra guests may be added the week before booking. Just let us know your plans through the app!

Ugly Apple Farms was started by my Wife and to try to bring fresh organic/permaculture
food to our community. We love to play music and get together with our friends and have been hosting people for some time. We thought that hipcamp could introduce people to our mission and make some extra money to get the farm off the ground.
Ugly Apple Farms is a diverse place. We have opportunities for farm classes, pick your own veggies and more. We also have 1800 feet of access to the Neversink River.
We recommend four wheel drive for some of our sites so please ask about them.
We are an off grid farm with access to some solar for charging. We have tent sites and room for campers. Our camping is primitive but there is access to potable water and sanitation if needed. All extras are first come first serve if not reserved in advance. We love and welcome any questions!
Thanks for looking!!

Glen Spey, NY · 1 site
There have been some big changes at The Record Room! We have recently added a brand-new shower system and a new method for delivering water directly from the stream, so you'll never run out! We have also added two new speakers in the upstairs loft, improved the Hickory Ridge Suana, and many more improvements that you'll just have to see!
This is the one. This is the experience that you'll remember for years to come. Welcome to The Record Room - Built directly from our hands and our hearts, The Record Room borders the fine line of camping and glamping, with a wood-fired cedar hot tub and outdoor shower that feeds off a small artesian creek, a sauna tucked within the trees, overlooking scenic ridge, and solar-powered vinyl that plays inside and out across a vast selection of vintage, classic, and current albums.
Back to our small creek, there are plenty of quaint spots to dip your toes. The Monguap River is close enough to see and hear, and the Delaware River is just 2 miles up the road, with rafting, kayaking, and canoeing companies all along it.
A queen Tempur-Pedic bed, as well as an overstuffed futon, will take care of you come nightfall. The outdoor kitchen is built for cooking some real food - a flat-top grill, a single burner, a stainless steel grate grill, cast-iron pans, and all utensils, all powered by propane. A wood stove inside will handle the chilly mornings and brisk nights. We have a pool table under a custom-built pavilion just for your enjoyment. And last but certainly not least, our outhouse, which is maintained by the women of our family.
We also have a nearby waterfall, which is as close as a three-minute drive down the road. The Hawks Nest lookout is under 10 minutes away. We recommend downloading a trail finder app, as once you arrive here, there will be zero service or wifi. Since we only have one bed and one futon, only four individuals can sleep comfortably, but we also have a couple of spots for your friend circle to set up some tents. Our mission is to get people back into the life we feel so disconnected from nowadays, and we provide the space to be able to do so.
We highly recommend the firewood package, as it makes life much easier, unless you plan on picking through the woods on your property (which we totally support!)

Welcome to Clearing Farm! Our grounds expand over 100 acres with many private hiking trails, a big field and cascading waterfalls. Visit our Instagram @clearingfarm to find out more.
Please note while our cabin is a premium experience on a working farm, it is still an outdoor experience that takes place deep in the woods, off the grid and in a cabin built from earthy or recycled materials. It is a far cry from a typical hotel or traditional glamping.
This Clearing Farm off-grid cabin is located on our 100+ acre farm. You'll be staying right next to a waterfall and able to enjoy all our land features.
Experience a private campsite equipped with a Casper Full Mattress, fire pit and charcoal grill. Please note there is 1 bed at the property but room next to the cabin to bring and put up additional tents. There is no power at the campsite.
THERE IS NO LONGER THE WOOD BURNING STOVE IN THE CABIN - THE TOWN MADE US TAKE IT OUT. There is also no shower. If you would like to bathe in the streams please use all natural soap as the animals drink from it. The Thermal Spring is no longer available.

When we arrived at the campsite, they had set up everything beautifully. We started putting up our tent, while some of our friends started grilling and others made rice over the fire pit. There were 11 of us in total. While we were having a snack, it started to thunder and lighten. And then, the rain and heavy winds started. The storm hit so hard that all our tents were blown away, and huge trees were falling down on both sides. All of us sheltered in a pop-up canopy, but that one blew away too. We were all screaming, scared, and didn't know what to do. A half-broken tree was hanging right above our car. Luckily, we were able to move our cars. However, the roads were blocked by big trees, so we couldn’t leave. The host came to see us, and we told him everything that had happened. He cleared the road right away. The host gave us some options: if we leave they would refund us, but if we stayed, they would clear everything up. We decided to stay because most of the guys had been drinking, so even if we left, it wouldn't be safe to drive. We asked if there was another spot with an open space because we didn't want to stay in the same place. The host and a lady came over—we unfortunately forgot to ask her name. She showed us a big, open area where her kids usually play. They set up five new tents with air mattresses for us. They really did everything they could to help. They had even made a new fire pit, put chairs all around it, and got us a propane grill with an extra tank

The setting and experience was exactly what we needed to pull out out long neglected tent and get back into nature without much fuss. Tom & MaryAnn made it easy with clear information and a welcoming attitude. We pitched our tent for one night and enjoyed the sights and sounds of being in the country. Their field is open, with a clear sky view, rimmed by forested areas. The amenities of firewood, picnic area were exactly as described and perfect for our needs. We had the place to ourselves (2 people) so it felt very private. If you are a larger group, it would be perfect to rent the trailer too. There’s a sweet little private seating area down a short path, along a small creek which was now dry. The birds song was lovely and the fireflies magical. All in all, a delightful respite off the beaten path in NJ. ( There’s also a pleasant roadside Italian bar/trattoria 5 minutes away with a friendly bartender and good wood-fired pizza, if you are like us and didn’t pack dinner).

It is such a joy visiting Kathy’s property. You will love how private your camping experience is, and how detailed and thoughtful everything is, from the outhouses to the trails, pond, waterfall with wading pool, and more. Each of her sites is secluded enough to feel comfortable yet close to the outhouses/trails/water. Lastly, Kathy is a wonderful host!!!

Robin was incredibly friendly and welcoming and her place is beautiful. Robin’s Hood is a very nice site with a bit of a secluded feeling. There is a steel grill in the site that helps make cooking feasible with the raised firepit. A bit of creative engineering is needed. Plenty of kinder. The nearby road creates some noise pollution but if not overtly sensitive, its really not that bad
