Ugly Apple Farms

It is a beautiful drive past several farms and open country to the Angry Orchard location. It's easy to miss so keep your eyes open for the big black mailbox with white lettering. The dirt road is a little on the rough side and if you have a low vehicle you may have some difficulty in some spots. I have a Jeep so for me it is not a problem, not that you need one but just go easy. We were supposed to meet someone at the house to give us directions to the actual camp site. The dogs were barking but it looked like no one was there. We drove around trying to find our spot. No luck, (looking for #1) we found out it is a catch-all for any camp site, but not necessarily yours. We wound our way back to the house, same dogs, just no people!! After several phone attempts I made contact and let Randall know we are not having luck here finding our site. We were told site 8 but it was stocked with two bent up canoes and we both looked and found no fire ring or a table. Undeterred we found a perfect spot #7 with a fire ring, and a big wooden wire spool as a more than adequate table. This spot has a river right next to it! Although not our "spot", and I was a little frustrated trying to reach someone, I was staying here! After a while Randall came down to meet us and brought some of the firewood we prepaid for. He was very friendly and was sharing his history with the property. We also pre-paid for breakfast, and while Randall was visiting us we mentioned we would be at the house

This place was so beautiful!!! Randall is awesome, super nice and easy to communicate with and his mission with the campsite and the farm is just added bonus awesomeness. I did the Brookeside site and it was so tranquil and beautiful and the Brooke was so nice to dip into. Would camp here again in a heartbeat.

Randall's land is an excellent site and he is a great person. We spoke about the area and he allowed me to stay even though I picked the wrong option. We had fun and it was nice to be at a campsite that has privacy.

We were very happy with the camping situation. We had a beautiful campsite near the stream. There were a couple flat spots to pitch our tents which was nice. Randall was very responsive and kind. Overall would come again.

Quick getaway from NYC

Day Pass to Ugly Apple Farms

We loved our stay at Randall’s farm, and would recommend it for anyone looking for a quick getaway for some time in nature at a working farm. We particularly loved meeting Randall and Adelaide, and appreciated his hospitality toward our group that included several lively toddlers! Our camp site was at a small escarpment by a rivulet, and had plenty of tree cover to shield us from the sun and rain. The site felt secluded, yet was close enough to the access road. Randall was gracious to invite us to his porch and offer coffee, pan cakes, eggs and wonderful company. I’d highly recommend for groups who want to basic camp ground with no frills. Or those with kids keen on interacting with farm animals.

Great spot in the woods on a farm

Tent ·

I stayed in one of the campsites in the woods. It was really perfect - easy to find, easy to navigate in and out, completely private, a clearing big enough to turn my car around, surrounded by dense woods. If there were other campers near me I was unaware of them. At night you just heard woodsy sounds. You could very faintly hear I-84 but it is over a mile away in a straight line. I did my own thing away from the farm but there were farm things going on - pigs, chickens, and a huge plot of vegetables.

It's just a great spot--quiet, but convenient. Like midway between backpacking and car camping.

Ugly Apple Farm was perfect for our two families. The campsites were spacious and beautiful situated. Ours was riverside but set above it so that we could see our kids float by on their tubes. They were also set a good distance from the nearest other campsites. Within our site, we were able to set up our two tents with plenty of distance from each other. Randall was a great host! We hope to head back again soon.

The camp was secluded, calm and private. Plenty of space at the spot #4 where we stayed. Shade from the birch trees allowed us to sleep longer in the morning. Randall’s place is easy to find and very close to Port Jervis and great hikes.

Originally booked Brookside Site #1, but got switched to riverside site #10. Not sure why, or how many sites there are since it isn't really specified otherwise. Site 10 was still beautiful though. Just be aware that - like some others have pointed out - you may end up at a different spot. Also, if you have a truck, the path to drive there can feel a little tight, but it's definitely doable. And regardless, it's a beautiful area.

Site 10 at the Ugly Apple 5/5

Tent · With kids ·

Site 10 was terrific, right be the entry to the creek and a great float down to a little beach where you can exit on the opposite end of the grounds. Randy and his family are lovely and made a delicious dinner and breakfast with fresh ingredients sourced from their property. There was only one other party, on the opposite end, and we had such a quiet, peaceful experience.

Our campsite was private and peaceful, right on the water and we brought our tubes so we got to float down and just enjoy ourselves. Site can be a bit buggy but also it was humid July so I’m sure it could just be the time of year, wonderful experience otherwise

Amazing farm stay

Tent · With kids ·

This farm is amazing. We had such a good time with the kids! (Ages 2-7) Randy and his family are so welcoming and kind! We highly recommend having dinner and breakfast, Randy is a great cook and everything is super yum and fresh! The river was just a few steps away from our site, clean water, perfect temperature for swimming on a hot day!

It was a beautiful campsite, rustic and close to river...camp site is big enough that you will not see the neighbors....lots of spots to get down to the water....Randall offered breakfast and dinner and it was all very good.
