The Farnch: A developing Destination Farm Come have a picnic under a tree, spend a few hours and go for a hike in Hudson Highland Gateway Park, a Historic 352-acre park offering hiking, birding, cross-country skiing, fishing & snowshoeing. He have rods and tackle to rent or buy if you don’t have your own. If you’re having a really great time and the kids just don’t want to leave, join us for an evening of sleeping under the stars in the forest at one of our campsites. We also host local Scout Groups, and Appellation Trail hikers. Hikers know that we are located about 2 miles south of the route 9 trail crossing at the Appalachian Market and offer pick up and drop off service from there on weekends. Hudson Valley is a wonderful 4 season go to location and being about an hour away from New York City you won’t spend hours in the car before being able to stretch your legs.

This campsite receives high marks for its proximity to trails and natural beauty, making it a great spot for hiking and outdoor activities. Mike, the host, is repeatedly praised for his friendliness and helpfulness, ensuring a smooth and welcoming experience for visitors. However, some reviews note the sloped terrain can make tent setup challenging and road noise is noticeable at some sites. Overall, the campsite offers a good blend of convenience and rustic charm, suitable for campers looking for a quick escape from the city.

Super chill experience

We had an amazing time at Mike’s camp, even when it rained one night! There was plenty of firewood available, and the space was vast enough to accommodate a large group. We were upgraded to Phoenix Landing, which is more secluded and away from road noise—definitely a great spot for a peaceful getaway. We visited at the end of winter and could already tell that the area would be lush and beautiful in the summer. There’s a nice walking path on the property, perfect for a leisurely stroll. While there is a bathroom and shower on-site, we didn’t use them since we were only there for two nights and brought our own setup. The campsite was clean and well-maintained, and the land at Phoenix Landing was leveled, making our tent setup super even and comfortable for sleeping. There’s also a platform available, but we opted for a more primitive camping experience. We met Mike at the mushroom factory, and he was incredibly accommodating, friendly, and polite. Checking in and out was a breeze, and whenever we needed to communicate, he was always available and responsive. Overall, we had an awesome experience and would highly recommend this spot!

Mike was a great host! The site was perfect for our trip with bikes. It was a cold weekend and Mike helped us out with helpful information and giving us some insulation pads too. Would definitely come back!

Extremely thoughtful host. Booked last minute and host cleared leaves with a blower to make it safer for my kid and me during a burn ban.

It was a great place to get a feel of being far away, but not drive many hours to get there.
