Peace and adventure all in one!
Our group of 19 adults and 12 kids LOVED camping at Wallkill River! Because of the size of our group, we reserved all 3 sites, but it's so spacious, we may not have needed to. We ended up having Site 1 as our 'kitchen/community space' and then we put all our tents down along the river level in front of #2 and #3 for quiet/privacy/space between the action and resting.
#1- Sarah was an AMAZING host. While I don't recommend Hipcamp if you want good customer service, I recommend Sarah if you want a kind, communicative, helpful host. She was more than accommodating when I made some booking errors that resulted in huge modification fees. She worked with me to cancel and then rebook our trip to avoid those.
#2- Sarah was superhost at the site itself: had little camping bags with glowsticks for the kids, had our firewood stacked and ready to use, enough toilet paper/supplies in the outhouse for us, and plenty of info for us if we needed. Her dad Paul stopped by to make sure we had enough firewood and we had a long and friendly chat with him.
#3- The property itself is so peaceful and calm and we loved getting to explore it. One sunny evening, we had a post-dinner walk where we adventured along the river path, over a small waterfall/stream and accidentally stumbled onto the neighbors property. They were very kind and helped us reroute back to the farm.
I'm running out of space to write more, but we will not hesitate to book again with Sarah!
