Welcome to Cedar Nook in the foothills of the Shawangunk Mountains! This site is located on the outskirts of the Minnewaska State Park Preserve, keeping you in walking and biking proximity to trailheads and lakes. The camp is settled on 2.6 acres of natural forest with a stream running along side, and surrounded by thousands of acres of hike-able preserve. You'll be a 20 minute drive from the historic town of New Paltz, NY where the hiking and biking opportunities continue, along with unique shops and restaurants. Mohonk Preserve and the River-to-Ridge trail are some of our favorite attractions. Our property features a hand-pump well with access ground water, electricity for RV hook ups, an outhouse, and a fire pit. Cedar Nook has spots for tent camping, and a recently renovated camper with access to electricity and water available for rent.Welcome to Cedar Nook Camp in the foothills of the Shawangunk Mountains! This site is located on the outskirts of the Minnewaska State Park Preserve, keeping you in walking and biking proximity to trailheads and lakes. The camp is settled on 2.6 acres of undisturbed forest with a natural stream running through it, and surrounded by thousands of acres of hike-able preserve. You'll be a 20 minute drive from the historic town of New Paltz, NY where the hiking and biking opportunities continue. Mohonk Preserve, River-to-Ridge trail, and Tilson Lake are some of our favorite attractions. You'll have access to a picnic table, a hand pump well for access to ground water, a fire pit/hang out area, and an outdoor bathroom. There are multiple flat areas for tent set-up. Our newly renovated RV is available for rent, giving you access to running water, electricity, a fridge/freezer, oven, microwave, heating and cooling. The RV features a queen bed, a twin sized loft bed, a couch that can be used as a bed, and room for an air mattress. My family has lived in this area for over 30 years and are happy to provide you with recommendations for hikes, bike rides, restaurants, bakeries, fishing spots, rock climbing/bouldering, etc. I work in conservation science at the local preserve and would be happy to provide trail recommendations to suite your activity levels, lead guided hikes, and we even have kayaks we can provide and transport to a permitted lake or pond for you to use. We can provide firewood as well. If you have any questions or desires please reach out. We are very flexible and want to get you connected with nature and peace!
