Always a pleasure to be anywhere on Stone Mountain Farm. The land, the people, but most of all, the ever genesis of collaborative, creative, and compassionate spirit that I’ve witnessed here for almost thirty years now, as it’s been an ever coming home to the possibility in the seemingly impassible when I find myself back there. Even as the world around feels to be sinking deeper into cynicism, half-truth manipulation for power and angle, and oft despair, Stone Mountain Farm remains a pillar not just of hope, but of what actually is. Here and now. The truth of the ground of being, as a rich yet tender soil; and they continue to choose to sow their seeds beautifully.
We stayed midweek for our first bike camping trip with the dog. Quirky, quiet place midweek with the cafe closed. The pond, by pond standards, didn’t look inviting. Lots of cool little gathering areas and trails all over. Bathrooms and showers were clean and had plenty of hot water. This place should definitely be on anyone’s radar looking for places to stay while on the Empire State Trail, right on the trail about 5.5 miles north of New Paltz.

The description talks about facilities and water, however they are not a short walking distance from the car camping spot. If you are looking for a spot easy for younger kids, this made it harder for me. The campfire was falling apart and there is not any table or seating.

We had a wonderful experience tent camping in the meadow! Our trip was very quiet aside from the occasional biker/hiker on the nearby trail. The wagon was very useful for transporting our items from the car, and there was lots of kindling to start our fire. Portapotties were a short walk away. Saw at least seven types of mushrooms, several baby five-lined skinks, a baby eastern newt, and several spring peepers!

It’s a lovely place with good energy. It’s very quiet during the week. The owners’ message was very informative and helpful for our stay.

This is a funky spot. The campsite is just off an amazing rail trail. Bike rental is available by phone and is recommended. Trailside cafe is open weekends. Bathhouse was more than adequate. Be sure to print a map so you know where things are on the grounds.
Stone Mountain is a series of private and spaces spread across many acres with concerts, aerial workshops, little backwoods trailers, minibuses etc. I would describe it as a Stewart Brand fever dream with. It is not fancy (and shouldn't be) and is a well loved work in progress. It might not be for everyone but I thought it was a great stay. It is not a remote space but was a fun spot with little social connections.
Tons to do in the area with proximity to Rosendale, New Paltz, Kingston not far away.

A beautiful spot right on the trail. Pizza, music, soft grass, fire pits. What more could you ask for?

My dog and I car camped in Blueberry Field, and it was easy to find a level spot and set up for the night. We were the only ones there, but the field is large enough that you could definitely put some space between you and other campers. I also appreciated that our campsite was only a brief walk to the bath house. There we’re hiking trails nearby as well where we found a ton of really cool mushrooms!

We enjoyed a very peaceful stay in Red Fox meadow. The area was teeming with joyful activity, you’re close enough to everything to feel ease, and just far enough away to enjoy the quiet. Everything was clean and the information provided by the hosts was very thorough and enabled us to focus on our own experience. Thank you!
A very cool and quirky property! I stayed mid week so it was quiet and the cafe was closed. I have to come back and see it in action. The meadow was private, but it would be much less private on a weekend.
It definitely gets dewy, bring a tarp. The bike trail is awesome. It was absolutely worth the time to explore the whole property.
We were in a total bind after showing up to a state land campsite at 10 PM that turned out to be completely overgrown. We booked this place super last-minute, and it ended up being a fantastic turn of events.
The land is beautiful, super quiet, and the instructions to find and access the spot were crystal clear - which was a huge relief arriving in the dark. The only bummer was that the café on-site was closed for the week while we were there. We’ll definitely be back to check it out when it’s open! Thanks for a great stay!
Nice laid back place to stay when visiting the local state parks. Near a bike trail that has food and entertainment was a plus. Definitely worth a stay

Generally speaking the place is cool and there was plenty of room. Music coming from nearby Trail Cafe was nice but the crowd was noisy but after music stopped and was a bit annoying. The host was nice. Campsite i choose was a bit unlevel because it was the dryest place in meadow after a long rain. Biggest complaints? Fire ring wasn't maintained and had cans strewn about and 8" of old wet ash inside it.,.you couldnt drive near the camping meadow and the wagon they supplied to transport your gear to site had one tire on it was completely useless! Finally, there were no advertised showers, at least what I could find, the out house toilets aren't exactly close by , the "water" supply was the outdoor sink at the cafe, kind of weird. All in all i made due but I have been to alot better.
We stayed with our 10' teardrop trailer in the "blueberry field." No hookups, bathrooms, porta-potties, etc.--but a beautiful, spacious, quiet, mowed field on the edge of the woods. Very private. Fire circle available. Very happy with it.

This was a lovely campsite and we definitely want to go back for a couple more nights. It's right on the Empire State Trail and across from the Railtrail Cafe. We ate great vegetarian pizza while listening to lovely gong music. Slept so well on the soft grass under the stars in Red Fox Meadow

Unfortunately, we didn’t get to stay because there were heavy thunderstorms and we decided to just bike Wakhill River Trail, but not spend the night. That said we did bike right by it and it looked beautiful and I would definitely go back sometime when the café is open. The wakill River Trail was a beautiful bike ride as well.

The people here are so incredible! My van wouldn’t start after a night of camping, and they did everything they could to help!

Easy and low key. The Rail Trail Cafe was right next to the campsite, portapotties were nearby and clean, and bathhouse was a short walk. Right next to the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail. There were other visitors in the vicinity as a result as well as a few musical performances, but everything wound down at a respectable hour and was fun and interesting while it took place.

Instructions to the camp were easy to follow. The camp café was cute and had a band playing while we enjoyed burritos. There were several spots throughout the meadow, with small fire rings to use.
Great food, great music, great comradery with other trail walkers and cyclists, as well as local people at the Rail Trail Cafe. Local musicians play there. The wood-fired oven pizza is awesome! Camping in the meadow is nice, and there are five fire pits with plenty of wood around to gather, Potable running water and a real bathroom are available to campers. Stone Mountain Farm has lot of things to explore. You might be able to take lessons from trapeze trainers at the Flight Stage! That was fun to watch.
Interesting place. GPS had no trouble getting me there. Seems to be a nice biking/walking/jogging trail that runs right past it. Saw several bikers utilizing it. Quiet spot too. The only knock at all is that you have to wheel your stuff in and out, and I had quite a bit of gear, so that made for some extra work, but you didn't have to wheel it too far, and a metal big wheeled wagon was available to use.

Met other campers who were so friendly. I thanked goodness for the spacious bath house. 10-15 min from the town center. Would stay again :)

We tent camped in red Fox meadow and really enjoyed our time. There’s much to do at the campsite grounds and the cafe on site is perfect for breakfast/coffee in the morning. The amenities were very helpful too, we had no issues at all and would recommend Red Fox Meadow at Stone Mountain to anyone!

We were in the area to hike at Mohonk Preserve. We enjoyed car camping in the Owl Wood. It was very private and located not too far from the bath house. Jonny was very good with communicating with our group and explaining the property to us to make sure we had a comfortable stay. We also tried the pizza at the Cafe and enjoyed it very much.
What a special love pocket to stumble upon. Red fox meadow is a special vibe! Very caring & welcoming space. I appreciate all they dp & the love & care they put into the land & community!
I haven't met the chickens yet but I'd love to next time : ) thank you for a wonderful peaceful stay! 🙏
