Pool House Glampsite

Pine Bush, NY is less than 2 hours outside of Manhattan making it an ideal weekend getaway. Your host, Rich, offers tent camping on his property - including some great group campsite locations - and also has a pool house for those who aren’t interested in roughing it.

The pool house is perfect if you’re looking to be surrounded by forty acres of woods but not quite ready to pitch a tent or give up the comforts of home. In fact, it’s quite luxurious! The pool house sleeps two, has a kitchen with a fridge and sink, and a bathroom with toilet and shower. All water in the pool house is sulphur water, believed to be great for the skin, but you may want to bring your own drinking water.

You’ll want to spend time outside the pool house as well. You’ll enjoy the saltwater pool complete with a diving board, a water slide, and night lighting. If you go for a night swim, consider drying off around the nearby large bonfire pit and roasting some s’mores. Rich prefers you don’t bring outside firewood onto his forested property and offers ample firewood for purchase on-site.

Be sure to also spend time exploring the wooded property, playing with his friendly border collies, or hiking Sam’s Point in nearby Minnewaska State Park for beautiful views and waterfalls in the Shawangunk Mountains.

This was an amazing place to stay for 2 days with my daughter, a great mix of outdoors experience and pool fun. My daughter loved the waterslide and the friendly dogs that came to play with her. Rich was a fantastic host, and the accommodations were even better than we expected. We’d love to come back some time soon!
