Come enjoy over 5 generations of our families property stewardship, on 370 acres of forested uplands with 30 acres of lowland meadows. We have two Rustic camp areas and a third area offering a pitched Glamping Tent with accommodations. Please bring your own bedding, towels, etc. We have firewood available for $1 per piece and a cash or check honor box if you use more wood than you paid for while booking. There is no cell service on or close to the property, so save or print your maps before you leave and follow the white oval signs to the campsite. 1.1 miles of upper Esopus Creek awaits visitors for fishing native Brook Trout, hiking, swimming, and sunbathing. We have two clean pit toilets, a spring-fed gravity water system, three wash stations, and two showers. A wash station is available at the showers, the kitchen, and the toilets. A large kitchen area with a 16-foot-long counter and a picnic table is also available by the communal fire pits. Delight in your visit to Balsam Gleann Meadows!

A very beautiful view, I would recommend this to anyone who’s looking for a magical camping experience. Everything including our campground was easy to find and the land is very well taken care of. The host was great. Would definitely book again!

Loved the campground. The host seemed very friendly and wasn't nosy at all. I did wish there were hot showers because the weather was pretty cold. Beautiful view of the hills and the stars. Sunrise was beautiful.

What’s not to like about it. Scenery ,campfires, seclusion, nature and camaraderie are all part of the experience. Very friendly, and accommodating host. Already planning our next adventure here.

Camping was a great experience! We loved feeling like we had the place all to ourselves. The property was gorgeous and it made for a very relaxing trip. I don’t know who enjoyed it more us or the dogs!
