We stayed for 3 nights and had a wonderful experience. The campsite was right by the river and felt very private, which was especially important to us because of our reactive dog. Even though one of the days was full of rain, we still really enjoyed our time there. It was peaceful and relaxing. Communication with Beth through the app was smooth, and we also had the chance to meet her husband in person, they were both incredibly attentive and welcoming. We’ll definitely be coming back!

My Favorite Hipcamp!

3 m travel trailer

Frequent flyer here! This is the one Hipcamp site I’ve returned to every year- multiple times. Each bust has been a little different with changes of season. The water level changes, bird migration varies, fishing is always a surprise but the scenery is always spectacular. This recent autumn trip had leaves falling that were as big as my head! I actually used one as a little rug reaching around to latch my trailer door. There were still interesting birds hanging around, a very foggy morning and the fish were still biting despite the cold water temps. I could hear a bit more traffic noise with less vegetation to buffer it, but it was still very peaceful especially down by the river. The locals are amazingly friendly and I always feel welcome and meet the most interesting people when I wander into town for something- which is also very conveniently close. The lawn is flawlessly manicured and the firewood is dry and great quality. That’s a rare find- so consider that as well as the available electric and the sewer dump for those of us with campers when you look at the nightly cost. Plus- you can’t buy solitude at the public parks or even most Hipcamps! The state parks I’ve been to rarely offer electricity and the firewood is expensive! Beth is also absolutely the most wonderful host- that’s priceless! I can’t wait until next season. It’s my one go to camp that I know I’ll enjoy!

I believe this was my third summer returning to Beth’s beautiful land on the river. I started out in a tent and progressed to a tiny 13’ fiberglass camper. It’s a great place for either since you can choose where to put a tent or enjoy an electric hookup with a camper. I do a lot of Adirondack camping so this is a luxury! They also supply really nice firewood, so when looking at the cost keep that in mind. What a perk! The convenient aspect about this site is it’s close to civilization but the only humans you may see by the river are a few kayakers on a weekend. If you are lucky enough to be there during a bird migration you’ll see the most incredible birds. Fishing is fantastic too when the water is deep enough to give you some good drops off the bank. This past trip I hooked and released countless Smallmouth Bass (some huge) as well as a new species for me (Fallfish). There’s also a great park with a little beach and a quarry right down the road for more kayak and fishing options. . Bring bug spray just in case - this was the first time I’ve ever had mosquitos. There is a bit of traffic noise but it’s minimal and the train is soothing. The convenience is a small price to pay for traffic sounds and beats loud camp neighbors in a public campground. There is only one site here- yours! The best part of this experience is Beth. She’s so kind and I’ve enjoyed my interactions with her so much. I’m looking forward to my next visit to this beautiful slice of heaven.

Mixed feelings

Tent

The site is situated on a lovely river. But it’s basically camping at a giant yard Positives: We saw a ton of birds…eagles, osprey, kingfishers, heron, etc. We brought our paddle boards and paddle upstream until we came to the dam. And the neighbors nearby were very quiet. Host was great with communication Negatives: it’s like camping in someone’s yard. Secondly, the cost per night, isn’t really worth it. I have done a number of HipCamp locations at the same price point, and they have offered more amenities. This had no toilet and no shower. I thought it would be some incredible location for the price, but it was very mediocre. I think if the price was more like $40, it would have felt like a good value.

This was our first experience at a hip camp and I must say my husband and I were not disappointed. The property is all to yourself, level and at the rivers edge. You do have to go down a small path but then it is well maintained grass to set up your chairs for the day. On our first morning, we saw a bald eagle, osprey, egret, belted king fisher, green heron and the best treat was a momma deer and her yearling walking across the river! Firewood was provided . We were only a few miles from town where there is a Dollar General, ice cream stand, and grocery store. Beth is amazing in her fast responses to ALL my questions. The only con would be hearing early morning traffic from the roadway but it would not stop us from staying there again. It truly was paradise for us. We never felt that relaxed. We will be back again!

We had a great time camping at this property with our 21' travel trailer, and look forward to visiting again in the future. Access to the site was easy and there are multiple locations to get setup as you see fit. The grass was all nicely mowed and property well kept. There's some road noise from I-81 but it's extremely distant and you barely notice it; hardly worth mentioning. We felt like we had great privacy, and our dogs enjoyed running off leash playing fetch in the large grassy yard. The hosts are extremely friendly and really go above an beyond by providing firewood at the site. 10/10 for the value - can't wait to return.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Riverside Camping in upstate New York. Beth and her husband are wonderful hosts who take pride in the appearance of their property and their guests comfort. Being a birder I especially enjoyed the abundance of birds that surround the property and their beautiful songs. The camp is convenient to Dorchester Park and Chenango State Park which provide a lot of hiking, fishing, and kayaking opportunities. Of course, you can fish, swim, and kayak at the camp, too, but be aware that depending on the time of year the current can be quite strong. Thank you, Beth, for sharing your beautiful property!

5 m pop-up camper

We were very excited to have a relaxing weekend away surrounded by peace and quiet and by the looks of other campers photos, we felt we found a great spot for just that. However, upon arrival we found that the main road to enter the property was only a short distance from the actual camp site, which meant it was unsafe for our dogs and most definitely not private. There is a home right at the entrance to the site that looks directly towards the river facing where you will be spending your time. They can see everything you’re doing from their front porch and or living room windows. The noise from the traffic was such a disturbance and the lack of privacy was the final straw. We ended up leaving a few hours after “check in” due to the lack of safety and privacy and were offered no refund of any kind.

This riverside camping site was a wonderful way to relax for an evening and morning as we made our way on a road trip down state. The property is beautifully maintained and very private. The oversized camp fire pit was fantastic for building warm fires during our spring stay. Thank you for the gracious hospitality!

This was a beautiful spot to camp in Broome County. My trailer barely needed additional leveling where I parked. I would take my chair down by the river to read and it was so relaxing. Some nice short trails adjacent to the property. Well maintained lawn. No -potable water available behind one of the empty houses. There is a grocery store and a few fast food places pretty close by. I was able to get my propane tank filled at True Value right in town. I highly recommend visiting Dorchester Park. The walkway around the lake is beautiful. I would also recommend the Chenango Valley State Park. It was one of the nicest parks I have ever been to. The host was very quick to message back with any questions. There is steady traffic from the interstate, but it is far away enough that it was like white noise. Somewhat busy traffic on the road in back of the site between 7 am-7 pm. In the evening it was pretty quiet sitting outside by the fire.

Perfect spot

This little gem is a well kept secret! Perfect views water sewer and electric. We had very responsive hosts and I highly recommend! Can’t wait to re-book if they’ll have us. We are new to Rv world and had a few small hiccups which Beth our host talked us through. I can’t say enough good things about the site. The wildlife. Ducks, geese, eagle, a pair of loons just to name a few. Our dogs well. We had to tie them because they loved being in the river so much and wouldn’t come out. The views were gorgeous. There was a bit of highway noise but minor in comparison to everything you get

We were excited to find riverside camping conveniently located along our cross country route. It was a last minute find and Beth was quick to respond and helpful. The property was easy to find, private, well maintained, and lush with great river views. Unfortunately, the recent and current weather kept us mostly inside the camper. It was muggy and buggy! We did have a quick campfire for a sunset dinner, thanks to a fire ring and provided wood. Beautiful! Thanks Beth!

Our stay at Beth’s was just wonderful. The site itself is so scenic and calm. Views of the river from out camper were spectacular. Her and her husband are on top of it when it comes to being hosts! Friendly, courteous and easily reachable. They even made sure the fire wood stock stayed plentiful. Our dogs had a blast romping through the well manicured yard. There is a road that really doesn’t see all that much traffic at the top of the yard but even our car chasing border collie didn’t care. We had a great weekend camping here and we will absolutely be back. We highly recommend this absolute gem of a site!

Loved camping out on Beth’s land. My 2 kids and I camped for 3 nights in our pop up camper. We were able to park close to the river, set our shade tent up at the river and spent 3 glorious days playing in the river, fishing and enjoying the sounds of the water. The kids have already begged me to book this property again.
