Both tents come with sleeping bag, sheets, pillows, blankets, a robe, towel set, tent lantern, small flashlight, water bottle and power charger bank. We are so proud to welcome you to Hippie Havens, a groovy place to “Let the SunShine In.”   ———————————————-   About us: ——I’m Shaggy, my wife is Kendra-we moved here and began creating Hippie Havens in 2019. For 10+ years we lived in New York City in a 4 bedroom apartment with 8 roommates and ONE bathroom, so moving to Narrowsburg was a huge change matched only by the huge project lists we needed to complete. Now we are so excited to share how far we’ve come and what we’ve learned so far.   I have been OBSESSED with the original Woodstock and Hippie Vibes since I was 14 years old when I first performed in the musical “Hair”. This was the first step in my acting career… a journey that led to meeting Kendra in 2009 in the musical “Rent” in Charleston, SC.  We were married in a big Hippie Musical Festival—themed wedding in nearby Woodbourne, NY and we continued our lives as actors.  Then came “Hair” into our lives again, and we did HUNDREDS of performances across the USA and Europe.  We knew that a part of us never wanted to leave the 60s, and this inspired us to “theme our cabin” to celebrate Woodstock and the Hippie Movement.   CABIN INFO: It’s a small cozy cabin with a lot of Big Deck Energy! The cabin is a studio Single room just over 150 square feet. The inside of the cabin is equipped with a Queen Bed, WiFi, fans, color- changing LED lights, outlets, a coffee station, a water filter, and hot water kettle. We included a record player and a library of 60s vinyl to enjoy as well as my old Guitar and a library of books concerning local info and Woodstock. The cabin is surrounded on 3 sides by a large deck. One part has a pair of hammock chairs, the large part has a fire pit surrounded by an outdoor couch set and rocker. It also has a tall dining setup for two. The back deck is our kitchen and bathroom deck. Our bathroom consists of a composting toilet and a shower. All the flowing water to the shower and outdoor sink is collected rain water -- you cannot drink the tap water. The cabin is on the far corner of the cleared part of our land. It is “semi-private”, meaning that while we live on the property, we will leave you to your vacation unless you need us for something-or if you would like to share a moment we'd be delighted. We have ten acres for you to wander. Our woods are inviting and easy to explore. The perimeter is marked with pink flags-PLEASE PLEASE wear high visibility on both your body and your pet's during fall's hunting season. A spring-fed pond makes for lovely reflection, and the seasonal frog song in the evenings is pure magic. The nights are incredibly starry and brilliant.  We are located very rurally with almost no neighbors in sight from our property (they are there though so please keep the music down after 10 p.m.)   If you are after relaxation, we have installed a salt water hot tub and a wood burning sauna (sauna is an additional fee). Hot tub is equipped with an outdoor surround-sound entertainment system ideal for watching concerts or shows!). As a general rule of thumb, most hot tub sessions should last between 15 and 45 minutes. While soaking, we recommend taking breaks, Hydrating, resting, and then entering the spa again. Please keep all hot tub sessions to a "Reasonable Length and Time".   Since moving up here, my wife has become an incredible farmer. Two of the most prominent features on our land are our large greenhouse and garden. Tours of these are possible when wife and I are available-and in season vegetable, herb, and produce purchases are possible. (Please do not tour gardens or greenhouse without one of us with you)   IMPORTANT TO NOTE: *Our bathroom system setup for cabin is a hybrid rain collection/composting setup. The bathroom and shower are outdoor and rustic-please do not book if outdoor rustic bathrooms and showers are a deal breaker for you. The toilet will not flush as it is a composting non water toilet from Nature’s Head. The water that runs from the sink and the shower is Rainwater collection and not suitable for drinking or consumption. Please conserve water.   *Our property isn’t suitable for bare feet.  Livin-brambles, thorns, and sharp things exist here-its safer to wear shoes of some sort.   *Renting a hot tub (especially a beloved hot tub!) can be real dicey. It only takes one bad apple to make a gross apple hot tub stew. Our salt water tub uses less chemicals than a chlorine tub so  please Please PLEASE be VERY RESPECTFUL and please DON’T BE DISGUSTING in our tub so we can continue to rent it. Do not spill in tub, do not use glass in tub, for GODS SAKES don’t pee in the tub. If tub needs to be emptied and cleaned, we HAVE TO charge you a $400 fee-no joke-don’t be nasty. **ANOTHER HOT TUB NOTE-heating a hot tub is EXPENSIVE-please enjoy the tub for a responsible amount of time. We REQUIRE you to replace the cover when you are done using the hot tub. Forgetting to re-cover hot tub will incur a $250 fee—seriously!! It’s easy to close-please close it.   *Please respect our privacy—-     Do not knock on or come to our front or back door-please try messaging, or texting,     Our house and back deck are off limits as is our woodshed and tool shed. The garden and greenhouse (and berry garden) are only available to visit with one of us present. We have to pay a lot for firewood to heat house in winter-we have additional wood available to purchase. Please do NOT help yourself.   *EVERYTHING on property is “use at your own risk”. Please be careful around trampoline and all water activity.   *Please be mindful when building fires-keep fire size manageable   *PETS* we are 100% pet friendly but please keep two things in mind: -TAJ! Our goldendoodle Taj is a real sweet beast and he rules the roost, free ranging during the days. If your pet doesn’t play well with others, let us know and we can work something out. —-WILD BEASTS-we get ALL OF THEM-I strongly recommend keeping your pet on a long leash during evening and at night —Very 420 friendly but we ask that you enjoy outside on large deck and refrain from hot boxing the cabin. —Here at Hippie Havens we love nature-and we have a lot of it. This property has insects, frogs, snakes, bear, ticks, skunks, mosquitos, and other woodland animals found outside in the Catskills as well as hazardous indigenous plants like poison ivy. The bathrooms are outdoors and rustic. —cabin doesn’t lock-we live in a VERY safe area but we recommend leaving anything you want locked up in your locked vehicle. — Features like bugs, the composting toilet, and the cabin’s rustic nature are fully disclosed in our listing. As such, we do not offer refunds for any conditions mentioned in the property description. By booking this lodging/camping, you agree to save and hold harmless Hippie Havens LLC, and Brett Travis and Kendra Payne from any liability arising out of your stay. You acknowledge that there are natural hazards such as uneven surfaces, bodies of water, wildfire, wildlife and noxious plants that are beyond the control of the owner, and their are manmade hazards such as the hot tub and sauna, trampoline, hammocks and buildings, and you assume all responsibility for your own safety. We welcome you to Hippie Havens, Where We Grow Smiles

Forest camping in New York with hot tubs guide

Overview

New York state is made for outdoor adventures, whether you're hiking in the Finger Lakes, glamping amid Hudson Valley vineyards, or backcountry camping in the Adirondacks. Campers can take their pick of 180 New York state parks, 22 national park sites, and a national forest, almost all of which provide RV sites and tent camping—some also have cabin rentals and glamping options. June through August is peak camping season in Upstate New York, and camping reservations are essential through fall, too. November through March is ski season, and many RV parks and cabins stay open year-round.

Where to go

New York City & Long Island

When the temperatures rise in summer, New York campers make a beeline for the sandy shores of Long Island. Beach camping experiences abound on the island, both along the Atlantic Coast and the North Shore. Check into one of the coastal RV parks, camp at one of the many country parks, or head to the beachside campgrounds at Hither Hills State Park or Wildwood State Park.

Hudson Valley & the Catskills

Vineyards and heritage towns dot the banks of the Hudson River, north of NYC, stretching all the way up to the Catskills Mountains. There’s lakeside camping within an hour’s drive of the city at Harriman State Park, kayak-in tent sites at Hudson River Islands State Park, and a popular campground at Bear Mountain State Park. For keen hikers, some of the best camping and glamping is found in the vast Catskill Forest Preserve.

Saratoga & Adirondacks

To escape the crowds and explore the wilderness, continue north into the Adirondacks, where the soaring mountains and wild woodlands stretch across more than 6 million acres. Epic hikes, fall foliage views, and idyllic lakes await campers, whether you prefer a hike-in tent site or a cozy log cabin in the woods. Don’t fancy hiking? Try whitewater rafting along the Ausable River, go canoeing between the three Saranac Lakes, or enjoy boating on Lake George.

Central New York & the Finger Lakes

For tranquil lakeside camping, the Finger Lakes get our vote. Regional highlights include the Gorge Trail at Watkins Glen State Park, the beaches and waterfalls of Buttermilk Falls State Park, and the "Grand Canyon of the East" at Letchworth State Park, but you can also fill your camping trip with wine tasting, farm-to-table restaurants, and lake activities.

Western New York

More than 65,000 acres of mountains, forest, and lakes make up the vast Allegany State Park, where you can choose from four state campgrounds or book one of the many cabins. Further north, there’s beachside camping along the shores of Lake Ontario, while Four Mile Creek State Park is one of three western New York state parks to offer yurt rentals. An added bonus? It’s within a 15-minute drive of Niagara Falls.
