Artimis Ridge

The Riverview site really is beautiful, and it's awesome to wake up to the sounds of the river. We never had a chance to meet Jess and Greg, but they were very nice and responsive when we messaged them and they provided plenty of very clear instructions for how to find the place, where to park, etc. The hike to and from the car is very hilly, so I definitely wouldn't recommend this site to anyone who can't pack their kit down to one or two trips, and for anyone who might show up after dark make sure you have a headlamp. That said, the hike seemed well worth it for the privacy and the sounds of the river. The path from the site down to the river itself is very steep, but there are ropes tied up to make things easier, we came too early in the season for a swim but I'd love to come back in late summer. Just bring bug spray, as it warmed up on our final day the bugs really started coming out - no surprise that close to the water but just something to keep in mind.

Lots of wood around for kindling. Site is close to main road and train tracks so just keep that in mind if that’s your vibe. I stayed at the River Site, and it had some great views!

Gorgeous spot in the woods!

Tent · With pets ·

First, the hosts were very communicative and graciously allowed us a last minute change of plans. They were great! Loved this spot. Really nicely perched on a hill with lots of greenery and trees and a nice walk down to the river. Felt very private. Not too far from the car, but far enough to feel peaceful and wild. Can’t say enough good things.

The spot itself us totally awesome - right by the river and you get some sweet soothing water sounds when you're going to sleep. It's also pretty nice that its right by "civilization" but right on the edge of town and the hike is just enough distance to feel like you're away from things. The only thing was that the tent that was placed for the compostable toilet was knocked down at some point. We might have been able to fix it ourselves but we only stayed one night and didn't need it that badly. Overall, totally rocking spot that I'd highly recommend for anyone looking for a quaint spot to go to for camping!

Perfect Site for Privacy

Tent ·

My friend and I had a lovely stay! Definitely be prepared for a hike to and from the site. I’d say no less than 3 people to the River Site because it gets dark very quickly, if you need to go back to the car around sunset. The markers to and from the site are perfectly navigable in daylight and at night with a headlamp, but in lowlights, can be difficult, even with a headlamp. But it was the perfect site to expose my friend to “dispersed” camping in a more controlled setting!

We had a great time at Jessica and Greg’s site! We stayed at the original site and walked to the river one day. Very peaceful and we hope to come back soon.

The campsite was lovely. Directions were clear and easy, the firepit was tidy and worked out great, and wood was convenient to pick up. We had a great time.

Spacious and chill.

Tent ·

Great spot to enjoy the woods, parking was pretty easy and straightforward, the campsite at the tree swing was quite spacious. The walk to the river is quite the adventure, would recommend just a backpack and 1 floaty if you plan on chillin in the river lazy style. Go to the left for the swimming area, the right is rocks haha. Had to explore and find that out. Found a cool clay bowl that had the letter V on it. Good spot.

We had a great weekend camping at this site! All of the directions from Jessica and Greg were clear and easy to follow, so all good there. The site was pretty spacious and there's a nice flat, mulched area to pitch your tent. The walk from where to park your car to the Swing Site wasn't bad at all either. You can hear a lot of train noise overnight, but we kind of liked that, it was very relaxing. We'd definitely come back!

Dream Site

Tent ·

Camping at Dreamland was great! The site is private but still in an area where if you need something its right down the road. Don't recommend a tent larger than a 6 person, but our 6 person fit perfect. Trail from the car parking is easy to find, but slippery when wet. Would recommend to a friend and would be happy to stay again. Dog did great and had lot of space to roam

Very peaceful time at the swing site. I live 5 minutes away and had no idea this place was here, so I will definitely be back. A nice weekend getaway. I highly recommend.

We enjoyed our stay. There’s only 1 flat spot for a 2 person tent right near the fire pit. The next best option is in a gully so don’t camp there if there’s a chance of rain and you need to set up two tents. My buddy’s massive 8 person tent was ridiculous to bring up there but even smaller tents would have been flooded to some degree. Otherwise a great spot. I would recommend it just check for rain in the forecast.

Very quiet spot, the river site is for back packing only! But the other two sites are awesome, about 300 feet away, very peaceful and private Highly recommend!

Excellent site with river access!

My fiancee and I stayed here while we were in town for a concert. The site was very well-maintained and felt very private. There was a short hike down to some amazing river access for swimming and hanging out. The only drawback was some pretty loud gunfire from a nearby gun range but I would not let that dissuade you from staying at this lovely site.

Amazing spot back off the road and close to downtown Saugerties. We wanted to get out of the city and drove up with our two dogs. Everyone had a blast. Definitely check out the river and bring good shoes as the walk is a bit steep at parts.

Really beautiful site! Pack light because the hike in can be tough on a hot day. Recommend hanging perishable foods for the sake of avoiding critters. Definitely spend time down by the river. Bring strong bug spray!

Lovely campsite! We were unable to do a long hike into camp this weekend due to my partners ankle injury’s— so Greg’s property was perfect. There is a short trail across the labeled parking area to the campsite. The site itself has plenty of tree cover, was relatively bug free, and easy to bring supplies in and out of. The swing at the site is currently out, I would love to revisit when it’s back up and running. The description doesn’t lie about the trail down to the river—my gps clocked it as about 1 mile and 400 ft ascent round trip. There are ropes to help out, but make sure you’re in your best hiking shoes. Lovely little swim spot down there though!
