Best in New York: Finalist
Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2024.
We are a 30-acre working active Hay farm. We purchased the farm when my grandfather passed away in 2014. It was once used to feed his cows. We had a working dairy farm. Now the property is used for your enjoyment and ours. As well as making hay. We have an 8-acre garden planted with rhubarb, raspberries, and berries on the farm too. We are located next to the Wallkill River which the campsite overlooks. We have 3 campsites available to choose from. Toilet available, campfires permitted, picnic table provided, pets welcome. Be advised we are a working farm so you will see woodpiles, machinery, such as tractors and other items sometimes hanging around.

The campsite offers a serene and private setting along the river, with well-maintained facilities that guests appreciate. Many campers have praised the hosts, Sarah and Paul, for their friendly and accommodating nature, making visitors feel welcome. The location is noted for its peaceful atmosphere and beautiful views, especially during sunrise and sunset. While some reviews mention the presence of hunters and bugs, these are minor concerns amidst the overall positive experience.

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!

Family Friendly River View Site 1
Spent a birthday weekend here at the end of April with 9 friends. While the Spring weather was iffy, the site and layout was AMAZING. There is nighttime lighting, paths, chairs and benches, a very clean and well-supplied bathroom, and a bunch else I can't rattle off. The river is beautiful and quiet, seems to be a couple turns downstream from the town so it's out of the sound of the road. Sarah the host was BEYOND generous and amazing. Had some issues that were resolved so far above what I could have imagined, she is truly a gem which is reflected in the beauty of the campsite! Sorry, meant to say but I was at Site 1!

What a great site. Has to be my favorite camping site so far. Well kept and secluded without feeling to far from others. This morning as the sun came up, I've never heard so many varieties of birds singing before. I should've recorded it. I will be back in a few weeks.
