This property was once a working apple orchard. Over regulation made it very difficult to manage so we let it lie foul for years. Then we let a fellow farmer use it to graze his cattle. Now our children has taking it over and are raising beef cattle on the property. Our campsite lies on the beautiful two and a half century old LeFevre family farmstead with rich history and stunning views of the Shawangunk Mountain ridge. The property is on a 40-acre old apple orchard that is super private and filled with dramatic views and spectacular sunsets. Wake up in your tent to the sounds of birds chirping, roasters crowing and cows just close enough but just far enough way. On occasion there may be a person driving by to tend to the cattle.

Incredible View
Really beautiful location with an incredible view. Private, except for some very friendly cows who come to visit. Would highly recommend, especially if you have a dog.

We absolutely loved the privacy and the view! It was windy and the temp got down to mid 20s when we camped, really loved the wood burning stove on site and the fire pit. Communication and directions were super clear and prompt. Would definitely revisit the site in the future!

The view
The camp has an unbeatable western horizon view of the mountains and sunset. A nice mowed grassy spot for a tent away from the road though you can still hear it in the distance. Table, chairs, fire pit, platform are fine if a little beat up but did the job. Herd of cows visited in the evening and morning - fenced but a few feet away. Overall great.

Beautiful, private farm site!
We absolutely loved our time here! It’s a beautiful site with views of the mountains, a beautiful platform to set your tent up on, a great fire pit and cows that come visit! This is our second time staying here and we would absolutely book again.

Awesome view. Beautiful hay fields and well maintained. Quiet. Some thoughtful touches, like fire wood, starter matches, chairs. One of my best Hipcamp experiences. Five stars.

10/10 Camping / Get-Away Experience
Wrights land was 10/10 experience. Absolutely stunning views of the mountains, farmland and skydivers. The sun sets directly behind the mountains and the views are breathtaking. The property has some farm trails that were nice to walk around. The farms cows came up to us once to say hello and they were so cool to see.

The sunset views from this site were lovely and it felt very private and secluded. The site has a large wooden platform, two chairs, a fire pit, a stove, and a picnic table and benches as well as a small food prep counter. there was ample space on the grass for multiple tents as well. Wish the cows were more social; they were pretty shy for us sadly.

Magical views
The location of this campsite was stunning. The uninterrupted view of the Shawangunks with cows grazing in the foreground was magical. We loved our stay and so did our dog! We also appreciated the platform, table, cabinet and fire pit at the site along with the fact that we could drive right up to it all. The only downside was that there was no running water or toilet, but luckily we were prepared and the host said we were welcome to go to the farm store down the road for these amenities if needed. As a few people stated you can hear some noise from a nearby road but it wasn’t too loud and didn’t bother us. It seemed to be a rather small tradeoff for the wonderful location near the mountains but also very close to the towns of New Hope and Gardiner with lots of fun activities to do nearby. Overall I would definitely recommend this spot as long as you come prepared!

not worth the price
There was no visible bathroom as listed, potable water was not visible - the only filled vesicle was open and less than half full. In reference to their chicken cages: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CfuHHMHJQH8/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

I had a great time camping at Wright's farm! Such a beautiful, private, and conveniently located spot. The view is gorgeous and the cows...don't get me started on the cows--I fell in love! I will totally return in the future as I visit the New Paltz area often. Gratitude!

Mohonk Mountain View Farm is appropriately named! The view is stunning. You get privacy and quiet space. I do agree with the previous review that the site is not as advertised. I would say come prepared especially for the summer with your own canopy, there is no shade between 10 AM & 6 PM. Bring your own tent, chairs, firewood, food, cooking whether stove or over fire, toilet paper, cleaning and trash bags. You can drive your car up to the site so have items well organized and your trip will be a breeze. There are great spots to explore nearby and we could leave our items comfortably. Also you’ll have cows that’ll visit and if during the week someone comes to feed them. Fall or spring would be perfect time to visit to avoid heat!

Great views tho not as advertised
Overall we had a great time staying at this campsite and the views of the Shawangunk Ridge and the valley below are amazing. Fairly easy to find and you don’t need a 4x4. It was super cool to see the cows come up to the fence and actually interact with them. I would come back for a much lower price given a few inaccuracies. I have to point out that the listing is not accurate for a few reasons. 1) the stone fire pit is fenced off by a metal fence so it cannot be accessed - they had a metal fire pit that was ok but took away from the experience 2) there was no tent on the platform - good thing we brought an extra tent for my friends 3) the listing is fairly private but you can hear a few loud trucks/ cars on the road Overall I thought the cost for one night for 4 people ($175) was not worth it (they increase the price the more people you add)

great stay here. very beautiful sunrise light on the mountains. Clean and private. Didn't know there is a tent already set here for you with air mattress but the tent itself is not in its best shape. In the morning you can hear some highway car noise from the tent but it's very minor. Would recommend it here for anyone!

The view from the campsite is unbelievable! You must watch the sunset over the hill. You’re 15 minutes from Minnewaska State Park with tons of hiking and picnic areas! The hosts were really nice, and left us alone which is much appreciated. We will be back!

Weekend camping with friends
My friends and I really enjoyed our stay here! The site was in the back of an apple orchard with a view of a sprawling field. It was a little ways down an offroad driveway from the main road. So it was close to a road, but when at the site you could not see any roads or buildings. The site came with the fire pit, table, benches, chairs, an outdoor toilet (which was just a toilet sitting behind the tent) and a set up tent with a bunk bed and side tables inside. It also stored a regular camping tent and inflatable mattresses. While we were there it did rain and leak inside the tent a little, and some of the mattresses deflated a little, but we made do. It was very pleasant sitting outside by the fire at night with all my friends, and there was plenty of space to throw a ball around during the day time. Some activities we did nearby in the area included hiking in Minnewaska State Park and visiting some cideries and farm stands.

This spot is so beautiful! There are apples falling off of old trees and a view of the valley that is just breath taking. Word to the wise though. It is SUNNY!!! There is almost no shade from about 11 am until sundown.

Rolling field with a mountain view
This camp site is a little slice of heaven. Of note, we did not know it was a tentrr site and brought all our camp gear which wasn't necessary since there is a tent on a platform already set up. We loved seeing the cows roaming and just relaxing, taking in the scenery. Our dog loved it too.
