Moon In The Pond Farm

Well off the beaten track, it's scenic, private and peaceful.  Camping at Moon In The Pond Farm is a little bit of heaven.  

There are six separate sites to choose from.  All are in separate, different locations around the farm, so you have your own secluded spot to enjoy. (Though you may be sharing a field next to our Scottish Highland cattle!)  Two are tent sites: the PondSide and the FieldEdge.  There's  one site for small/tiny RVs or Campervan.  There's the BellTent--a bit of "glamping".  And finally there's the HiddenCabin--a bed a roof and convenience.  Each has a firepit with a small grill to cook over the fire.  (all firewood provided)  

Our campsites are located in quieter areas of the farm.  One overlooks the pond, three others are under the trees on the edges of different farm fields, one is a cabin nearer the farmstead.  All require a beautiful, bucolic trek of 150-350 yards from the roadside parking--ensuring the quiet, natural experience.  During the day times, you may see or hear farm work.  At night it's lusciously dark and serenely quiet.  You'll hear owls hoot, frogs croak, crickets chirp, foxes yowl  and coyotes howl!  In June and July the fields and trees light up like Christmas with fireflies, and you'll see the stars.  

During the week is the absolute best time--the local hot spots (or cooling down spots!) are much quieter, and all our campsites have reduced weekday rates.  If you can, take advantage by adding a Thursday or Sunday night to a weekend stay.  

Wanna hike?  We've got an awesome, easy hiking trail on adjacent Nature Conservancy preserved land.  It meanders through woodlands, around rock ledges, through wetlands (on a 600' of boardwalk) and ends at a beautiful stream and pond with a gigantic beaver dam. 

Not far from here are numerous well-marked hiking trails (including the Appalachian Trail (with famous Bash Bish Falls) and several offshoots (Sage's Ravine, Race Brook Falls), Bartholomew's Cobble, Umpacheenee Falls, and others).   Also in the neighborhood are opportunities for canoeing, kayaking, swimming, rock climbing, off-road, gavel-road and country-road biking, snowshoeing, cc skiing and pretty much any outdoor activity/adventure opportunity.  Or... you can just chill and relax, sleep, or read the day away!

Love food?  This is Farm-to-Table for real!  Never so close--the table's AT the farm!!  Bring your cooking gear and get some of our wicked fresh organic food--veggies, chops, sausages, eggs, bacon, granola, yogurt, etc.  Sear yourself up a real treat! 

Very nearby, as the Berkshires is an alternative cultural mecca, there are also  numerous entertainment opportunities from many great restaurants to art, dance, music, spas, galleries, antique shops, museums, cafes and much more. 

It's still amazingly quiet at the farm where the Milky Way is clearly visible.

Hammock spots are plenty - just pick a couple of trees!

Super comfy large bed. Don't forget to bring your own blankets and pillows though!

The cabin has the perfect amount of space for making dinner and hopping right into bed. 

Lots of open space all around the cabin. You can see lots of the farm right from bed but still feel very secluded and private. 

Early morning cooking - organic vegetables from the farm!

The Mountain Top @Wright's Farm

 It all started when grandfather Charles B Wright first establish this farm in 1904.   He purchased it for its natural springs.   In our barn (now home to Gardiner Brewing Company) he had gravity fed water troughs for his cattle.   Since then we have slowly switched from animals to tree fruit.    You will enjoy rolling hills of fruit trees and fruit gardens along with beautiful views of the Shawangunk Mountain Ridge.  We have 450+ acres so it in very private.  

As we are a working farm, you can see us driving pass with our tractors or maintaining the orchard around your campsite on occasion. You are welcome to ride your bikes, hike or jog where you will pass ponds and a working farm landscape. Please don’t pick our fruit. If you would like to enjoy the fruits of our labor please visit our farm store open year round on the premises where we sell cheeses, our fresh picked fruit and veggies, local meats, and our famous cider donuts along with other farm products. We also have a farm brewery open 3-7 in our old dairy barn for you to enjoy. Live music Saturdays and Sundays. Minnewaska State Park and Mohonk Reserve are only 10 minutes away. The rail trail is three minutes away. This trail gives you walking and biking access into New Paltz, where there is tons of restaurants and lots of shopping. 
Please be aware that during the months of September and October there may be a Pick-Your-Own customer or two walking around picking apples around the campsite area between the hours of 10:00-6:00. You are also welcome to come down to the farm market and purchase bags to pick your own apples in season.


Racing the dogs to the top of the hill. A perfect place to bond with the pups!

This was such a cozy spot to set up camp. Take me back! 

Setting up camp with a view like this can't be beat! 

The view from up high. Right before the sun drops behind the scenic mountains.

Talking around a fire is one of the oldest traditions of man. Talking around a fire at Wright farm is going to be a new tradition for my family :-) 

Bacon skewers, eggs, and coffee for breakfast. With a view like this, what more could you need? 

Yurt Farm Stay

Our 18 acres has been farm land for hundreds of years. After many years of overgrowth, we homesteaded the property in 2012. We cut trees, milled wood and built our homes and barn. We live in harmony with our animals and our crops in a permaculture environment. We are just miles from many beautiful lakes, rivers and spectacular parks.

Enjoy a farm stay in our luxurious yurt tent complete with queen size bed and outdoor shower. Meet the goats, cows, ducks, chickens, our pony, Mr. BoJangles and our thoroughbred, Ruby Tuesday, and have a walk around the acre plot of permaculture grown produce. Visit our flower stand, Sunnystems Farm, at the Washington farmers market on Saturdays. Plenty of things to do locally. Visit the many vineyards and breweries, take a cooking class at Hunt Hill across the street, visit the quaint NE towns such as Kent or Washington.
