Sam’s Yurt by the waterfall is INCREDIBLE! The campsite is quaint and perfect for a quick weekend escape. At night time the lights in and around the Yurt make for a romantic view. Sam is a fantastic host and responded to all of our questions within a few minutes. He had ample firewood that he let us use throughout our stay. A couple of things you should know if you go during the winter time:

- Make sure to bring warm blankets as it can get cold. Sam left sleeping bags and a couple of blankets in the Yurt before we arrived, but it’s nice to have that extra warmth.
- There is a wood burning stove in the Yurt which will help keep you warm, but needs to be refilled with wood every hour or two.
- Alternatively Sam left us with an unfilled 15 lbs propane tank and it connects to a heater in the tent. You can fill it with propane at a gas station nearby, but you may want to bring your own propane in case the station is out of stock nearby.
- we ended up not using the propane tank and instead maintained a fire in the wood burning stove for a few hours before falling asleep. This kept us decently warm so we could fall asleep.
- If there is any possibility of snow or ice on the road I would use a car with 4WD or AWD. It can get hilly around the area. In better weather you can manage without these.
- Bring a bundle or two of your own wood in case there is snow/rain.

Thanks for everything Sam. We hope to come back soon!

We had an excellent stay at Dreamweaver Pond. Jo was an excellent host and provided a porta potty, table, and some firewood from the previous campsite guests. The site by the pond is perfect for 1-2 tents, but it can be difficult to get your stakes in the ground as there are a lot of rocks/gravel. Make sure to bring bug spray. There is plenty to do in the area and if you forget any supplies you can go to a grocery store within 10 minutes. I recommend checking out Woodstock and Saugerties for shopping/food. Also the kaaterskill falls are a short drive away and definitely worth the visit.
