Ugly Apple Farms was started by my Wife and to try to bring fresh organic/permaculture food to our community. We love to play music and get together with our friends and have been hosting people for some time. We thought that hipcamp could introduce people to our mission and make some extra money to get the farm off the ground. Ugly Apple Farms is a diverse place. We have opportunities for farm classes, pick your own veggies and more. We also have 1800 feet of access to the Neversink River. We recommend four wheel drive for some of our sites so please ask about them. We are an off grid farm with access to some solar for charging. We have tent sites and room for campers. Our camping is primitive but there is access to potable water and sanitation if needed. All extras are first come first serve if not reserved in advance. We love and welcome any questions! Thanks for looking!! Randall and Melissa

Day Pass to Ugly Apple Farms

Private and fun!

Randall's land is an excellent site and he is a great person. We spoke about the area and he allowed me to stay even though I picked the wrong option. We had fun and it was nice to be at a campsite that has privacy.

Stay at the Farm

We were very happy with the camping situation. We had a beautiful campsite near the stream. There were a couple flat spots to pitch our tents which was nice. Randall was very responsive and kind. Overall would come again.

Stay at the Farm

Quick getaway from NYC

We loved our stay at Randall’s farm, and would recommend it for anyone looking for a quick getaway for some time in nature at a working farm. We particularly loved meeting Randall and Adelaide, and appreciated his hospitality toward our group that included several lively toddlers! Our camp site was at a small escarpment by a rivulet, and had plenty of tree cover to shield us from the sun and rain. The site felt secluded, yet was close enough to the access road. Randall was gracious to invite us to his porch and offer coffee, pan cakes, eggs and wonderful company. I’d highly recommend for groups who want to basic camp ground with no frills. Or those with kids keen on interacting with farm animals.

Day Pass to Ugly Apple Farms

Great spot in the woods on a farm

I stayed in one of the campsites in the woods. It was really perfect - easy to find, easy to navigate in and out, completely private, a clearing big enough to turn my car around, surrounded by dense woods. If there were other campers near me I was unaware of them. At night you just heard woodsy sounds. You could very faintly hear I-84 but it is over a mile away in a straight line. I did my own thing away from the farm but there were farm things going on - pigs, chickens, and a huge plot of vegetables.

Ugly Apple Farms Brookside site #1

It's just a great spot--quiet, but convenient. Like midway between backpacking and car camping.
