The Upper Shire Private Campsites in the Hudson Valley are on a gorgeous hill with a small pond surrounded by 22 acres of an old horse ranch. It is located in Columbia County near the Massachusetts and New York border. There are currently 5 unique camping areas located here. Each one is special due to its location on the hill. Check out our map and enjoy our spacious yet secluded campsites and our new off-grid double shower shack with hot and cold water on demand. This place has a relaxed atmosphere and is located near Catamount Ski Resort, Bash Bish Falls, Taconic State Park, Hudson NY, and Great Barrington, MA. If you plan on bringing a pet please be sure to add that fee to your booking under "extras" ($25) If you have additional guest(s) that would like to join you that fee is ($25 a night per person) and you will need to message us about how to arrange that. We have extra easy pop-up two-person tents available to rent ($15 for two nights) you can also find that option under "extras" along with bundles of firewood ($15)

Pondside Meadow
Our first Hipcamp experience!
We booked the Pondside Meadow for the weekend and had a pleasant stay at the campsite. Joanna was such a hardworking, warm and friendly host; she provided info about the campground, brought us some firewood and a jug of potable water. The campsite was super clean, spacious and came a couple of hammocks, Adirondack chairs, a firepit and a neatly tuck away string light by pond side, it's perfect spot to chill and to enjoy the sunset. We set up our tent and tarp near the tree line to escape the summer heat during our stay; the view of the pond was phenomenal at dusk. Nature calls can be answered by a short distant to the clean outhouse. If tent camping is not your thing, then you can book the A-frame cabin, Pine Grove Bell canvas glamping tent or the vintage Airstream trailer. We would love to come back for the foliage of Fall season.

Upper Shire Meadow
We had a great experience. The site was clean and well-kept with a nice fire pit and chairs, hammocks and a clean porta-potty. The hosts brought us fire wood, water and an air pump to blow up an air mattress. They were responsive, friendly and communicative. Lots of privacy and room for tents! The site was so clean tho we had trouble finding sticks for building a fire and ended up gathering wood off-site along a nearby road. (Not from too far away tho, so we wouldn’t unwittingly bring unwanted insects.) We could hear traffic during the day/evening from a nearby road, but it wasn’t too overwhelming and we were delighted to hear so many different types of birds in the morning. Thanks for a lovely stay! 💛

The Upper Shire was a wonderful campsite! Plenty of open space to set up tents and for games/activities. Joanna was super responsive and greeted us upon arriving. Would absolutely recommend it to friends and plan on returning myself!
