Perfect Rainy Weekend Camping!
Delaney's land was beautiful. We camped at site 2 during a rainy weekend. Despite this, our site was on a nice hill so water drained away, and the elevated wooden platform kept our floor dry. Two Adirondack chairs were set up at the site. The steel drum fire pit was perfect for building our fire while keeping it shielded from the rain. The campsite is nicely mowed, and parts reveal slate deposits. We even split a rock anchoring our tent and found a cool fossil!
Delaney was so friendly. Excited we were there despite the weather, she brought a 5-gallon water jug to our site and went above and beyond lending us a towel when we needed one. The bathrooms were so clean, well stocked, and heated. The sauna attendant was just as friendly, lending us logs and tips for starting a fire. We had a lovely dinner over the fire as fog rolled over the mountains in the distance.
In the morning we awoke to birds singing, a beautiful clear view of the mountains, and the babbling river below. We got to speak with Delaney's father as he walked 3 super friendly dogs around the property. Getting to pet them genuinely made our week as college students away from our own pets. The farm store is well-stocked with meats, honey, and butter, and Delaney even told us to pick and take some parsley for ourselves!
Site 2 is nicely secluded without feeling disconnected from civilization and plumbing. My group and I will absolutely return. It is the perfect distance from New Paltz and it's many hiking trails.
