## Overview

The Upper Shire Private Campsites in the Hudson Valley are on a gorgeous hill with a small pond surrounded by 22 acres of an old horse ranch. It is located in Columbia County near the Massachusetts and New York border. There are currently 5 unique camping areas located here. Each one is special due to its location on the hill. Check out our map and enjoy our spacious yet secluded campsites and our new off-grid double shower shack with hot and cold water on demand. This place has a relaxed atmosphere and is located near Catamount Ski Resort, Bash Bish Falls, Taconic State Park, Hudson NY, and Great Barrington, MA.

If you plan on bringing a pet please be sure to add that fee to your booking under "extras" ($25) If you have additional guest(s) that would like to join you that fee is ($25 a night per person) and you will need to message us about how to arrange that.

## Recent reviews

> Another great stay at this beautiful, private, magical site! Plenty of space for our multiple tents, and a super helpful set of adirondack chairs around the fire ring. Sadly it was too cold to use the shower so we will look forward to that next time :) Fyi, there is some faint road noise, and a neighbor’s generator (we assumed, who knows) ran overnight every night; nothing too loud or disruptive
