Our woodland property bordering the Esopus creek is a serene and picturesque oasis nestled in the heart of the Mid Hudson Valley. While surrounded by lush forest, it offers easy access to hiking trails that wind through the natural beauty of the area, dinning and civilization (you'll even hear the train from time to time).
But our property is more than just a gateway to outdoor adventures; it's a place of tranquility and natural wonder that deserves our utmost respect. With its close proximity to all the fun things the Hudson Valley has to offer, it's the perfect retreat for those seeking a harmonious blend of outdoor exploration and relaxation in a beautiful, pristine forest setting.
DreamLand aka: Mugwort Express, boasts three enchanting campsites to choose from, each offering a unique experience.
1 - The Original Site: This campsite is perfect for adventurers who want quick access to the great outdoors. Wake up, jump in the car and hit the road for the great Catskills trails. It's the flattest site and the closets to parking, with under 1 minute walk to your car.
2 - Swing Side: Surrounded by towering trees and lush greenery, this campsite immerses you in the heart of our beautiful forest. It's the ideal choice for nature enthusiasts seeking a secluded and serene experience. Also with under 1 minute walk to your car.
3 - The RiverView: Nestled on a ridge some 80 feet above the river's edge, this campsite provides a tranquil escape with the soothing sounds of flowing water. It's our most adventurous site to get to with a good 10 to 15 minute "medium-difficulty" trek to get... A beautiful trek, not a leisurely stroll (Hint: pack light) but well worth the effort!
No matter which campsite you choose, our property invites you to connect with nature, relax, and make lasting memories in this stunning woodland retreat.
Jessica and Greg's campsite offers a peaceful and private setting, ideal for a quick getaway from the city. The site is conveniently located near Saugerties, with easy access to a magical river, though the trail can be steep and challenging for some. While many campers appreciate the seclusion and natural beauty, others noted occasional noise from trains and nearby construction, which may disturb the tranquility for some visitors. Overall, it's a popular spot for those seeking a serene camping experience in the Catskills area, with room for improvement in amenities like firewood quality and signage.
My friend and I had a lovely stay! Definitely be prepared for a hike to and from the site. I’d say no less than 3 people to the River Site because it gets dark very quickly, if you need to go back to the car around sunset. The markers to and from the site are perfectly navigable in daylight and at night with a headlamp, but in lowlights, can be difficult, even with a headlamp. But it was the perfect site to expose my friend to “dispersed” camping in a more controlled setting!
We had a great time at Jessica and Greg’s site! We stayed at the original site and walked to the river one day. Very peaceful and we hope to come back soon.
The campsite was lovely. Directions were clear and easy, the firepit was tidy and worked out great, and wood was convenient to pick up. We had a great time.
Great spot to enjoy the woods, parking was pretty easy and straightforward, the campsite at the tree swing was quite spacious. The walk to the river is quite the adventure, would recommend just a backpack and 1 floaty if you plan on chillin in the river lazy style. Go to the left for the swimming area, the right is rocks haha. Had to explore and find that out. Found a cool clay bowl that had the letter V on it. Good spot.
