Blake is a Star Host
Star Hosts are highly rated, responsive, and committed to providing incredible experiences.
This private, breathtaking property is nestled directly on the Neversink River, located just one mile from Exit 109 off NY-17 (new I-86). Join us on 3 sprawling acres, and enjoy the serene beauty of the Neversink River. The property is ideal for anyone looking to escape to a secluded, quiet area, with everything from Bald Eagles, Deer, Rabbits, and other local wildlife. Fell free to step right into the shallow river, just footsteps from your tent, and enjoy some smores by the riverside firepit. The river typically doesn't exceed more than 3 feet of depth throughout the entire property (unless high rain totals). Relatively short drives to local attractions include the newly renovated Holiday Mountain Ski & Fun Park (1.2 miles), Resorts World Catskills Casino (2.6 miles), the Kartrite Indoor Water Park (2.9 miles), and Bethel Woods Center for the Arts (18.4 mile), home to the 1969 Woodstock music festival. 2 gas stations, a liquor store and supermarket are also within 2 miles of the property, as well as local eateries. We recommend bringing inflatables and or kayaks to take advantage of the beautiful river. Guests can drop in a few miles up river, and float down to the campsite. Trip can take anywhere from 1 hour to 3 hours depending on current flow and or paddle strength. We hope to have you stay with us!The 3 acre camping area is manicured grass and wild forest, with walking paths throughout the property. The Isle is surrounded by water, with one access way for vehicles, and another for foot traffic. Natural local vegetation can be seen throughout the campsite. Expect beautiful views both up-river and down-river, with the spectacular American Bald Eagle and other local birds constantly soaring through the river basin. Campers can expect private areas of the island, great for sunbathing and or picnicking. The campsite was once a family run tree nursery, which supplied locals with trees, shrubs, and flowers sourced from all over the world, starting all the way back in the 1880's. The entire property (120+ acres) has been in the family since the 1790's, and remains to this day. Remnants still remain of the once successful business, but have been covered by years of overgrowth. Some trees have the remaining burlap sacks still around the root ball. Walking and biking is very popular along the river, as the entire road is located right alongside the water. Kayaking and rafting are ideal for the property. 2 Gas stations, a liquor store and supermarket are less than 2 miles away, with local eateries within the vicinity as well. Feel free to ask the host about local recommendations for food and entertainment.

A beautiful, magical spot. Being the location of an old nursery, walking the ground and seeing different flowers,bushes and trees made it a unique experience. The beautiful river was home to an Eagle that came to visit the site.

Great views, but outside noise
Tent ·
The Neversink River Isle
The site was gorgeous with amazing views of the river. However, we did not have the secluded, isolated experience that we had expected based on the reviews. There was too much outside noise that interfered with feeling immersed in nature. There was a road right above the hill of the campsite, so we could hear the sound of cars driving by. Plus, there was a large gap where cars from the road could see a clear eyed view of our campsite from the road which did not make it seem secure and secluded at all. We were unaware of the campsite being so close to a road when we booked it. Another issue was at night when the headlights of cars driving by were very noticeable and bothersome for our desired peaceful night. And to top it all off, in the morning after our first night, we woke up to the sound of a construction crew in the distance. So, instead of hearing the sounds of nature, we had to hear an excavator and trucks beeping in the distance. Also, when we first arrived there was a dead raccoon in the middle of our site, which we had to dispose of. There was also two separate occasions where stray dogs came up and barked at us. I really wanted to like this site. The host was great and the site was gorgeous, but this really wasn’t a remote, isolated experience that the reviews and posting made it out to seem, especially considering the price. It’s probably better for large groups of people rather than a couple wanting to feel totally immersed in nature in a secluded setting.

We had such a great experience at The Neversink River Isle! The campsite was peaceful, relaxing, and perfect for a weekend getaway. The sound of nature and the beautiful surroundings made the trip even more special. Blake was also very kind and accommodating. He let us stay a little later last Sunday because it rained the whole Saturday, which we really appreciated. That thoughtful gesture made our trip so much better. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a quiet and enjoyable camping experience!

Anniversary Camping Trip!
Tent · With pets ·
The Neversink River Isle
We booked this campsite for our anniversary and it was spectacular! The fire pit was a great size and we purchased the wood so there was a stack of firewood waiting for us. You can fish right from the site (we saw two nice sized trout at night but couldn’t catch them). The bugs were not a problem for us which surprised me (but at night if you are using a headlamp a mosquito net helps keep the bugs from hitting your face, also we didn’t have any ticks bothering us at all) The spot is private, huge, and so peaceful. It also looked like there were some outlets we could’ve used for a projector if we would have brought it. If you’re looking for a great camping trip this is the spot! Ps: We didn’t rent the inflatable kayaks from Blake but we regretted it immediately when we saw people peacefully strolling along the river fishing on theirs.

Great site, very clean and a lot of open space. The river was very clear, unfortunately between the 3 of us we only got 1 bite, but it was in November so it was expected. Had a great weekend, we'll be returning in the near future hopefully

Blake was very responsive and an overall great guy. His site was immaculate. The ground was very level and could fit multiple rigs. The scenery is wonderful. We saw a ton of wildlife and it's steps away from the river. Ordering the wood from him was super convenient, we will definitely be back.

Ladies Shenanigans Squad weekend. Perfect weather, great friends and food, but the real winner is that water view. We sat and watched the sun rise and set on that peninsula. The colors of the sky were spectacular. The river was perfect, the bald eagle cruising by us, geese flock and local wildlife was lovely. Blake was a very gracious host and made us feel so welcome. He even sent his mom down to chat with me as we both recently had the same cervical spinal surgery so we had to compare scars (lol). It was a fantastic weekend as I said, so we will be back next season with the rest of our squad. Thanks Blake! Kelly, Diane & Lori

A lovely spot of land located right next to a creek. Went with a 3+1 year old. Very flat ground for kids to run around and play, and just a lot of space to set up multiple tents and multiple areas. The creek itself was very shallow, it was a little cold when we were there, but definitely see the kids having a lot of fun there when it's hot. Got to see bald eagles and some other rare birds. The only negative thing I have about the site is that it is a bit close to the highway and you can hear trucks barreling past late night. But other than that, it was great.

This is our third time returning to the campsite- and it never disappoints! One morning, we even got to watch a bear swim across the creek and saw 1-2 bald eagles per day! Highly recommend, great experience as always!

Riverside Bliss at The Neversinks
Tent · With pets ·
The Neversink River Isle
We recently stayed at The Neversink River Isle—a hidden gem that gave us one of the most refreshing getaways we've had in a long time. From the moment we arrived, the gentle sound of the flowing river set a calm and grounding tone. The campsite was clean, well-maintained, and surrounded by leafy trees that offered plenty of shade during the day. We pitched our tent and tarp just a few feet from the water. As we settled in for a quick lunch, our camp host, Blake, came by to greet us. He generously provided a generous stack of firewood and shared helpful tips about the site. His friendliness and knowledge made us feel instantly welcome. Our dog MiuMiu had an absolute blast exploring the area, sniffing every leaf and lounging by the riverbank. The nearby firepit was perfect for grilling up some juicy steaks and fresh veggies, adding a delicious touch to our riverside retreat. Whether you're into kayaking or simply relaxing by the water, this campsite has something for everyone. The river is calm and inviting, ideal for paddling or just dipping your toes in. The facilities were basic but clean. The Neversink River Isle is more than just a campsite—it's a peaceful sanctuary where nature, comfort, and good company come together. If you're craving a break from the noise of everyday life, this riverside retreat is the perfect place to recharge.

We loved our 3 night stay. Beautiful views of the river and the wildlife. We saw an eagle dive and catch a fish about 20 yards away! Twice!! Our son and dog enjoyed jumping in the river and we enjoyed the fishing right from our site. Plenty of space and privacy. Was a little nervous if our 35’ trailer would fit, but we had no problems. Site was easy to get in and out of and had a very large camping area. Our only issue was we found a couple ticks on our dog. Made a quick trip to local Walmart for tick repellent spray and collar for the dog. So be prepared if bringing pets that like to wander. Overall, it is an amazing place to relax at and enjoy the river. Can’t wait for our next visit.

Such a beautiful site. We had it for a fall weekend when the leaves were just turning and we couldn’t have asked for a more picturesque spot. Easy to get to and it was such a plus to get the extra of a bundle of wood - perfect for 2 nights! We would definitely like to come back!
