Conciege Camping on private estate
Well Appointed & Centrally Located
I'm not personally a big fan of bell tent camping — after having booked a not-so-great one a couple years ago. But Roland's was pitched much better. Heavy rain created quite a bit of condensation in the tent and unfortunately a few small puddles. But the tent is so well appointed that there were plenty of towels (for showering) to mop up the floors and still have leftovers for yourself.
I normally prefer to use my own tent and gear — and brought it all just in case. But once we settled in, my friend and I decided to stick with what was provided. We did decide to use our own camping mattresses, however, as the pads in the tent are of the yoga mat variety, and if you're car camping, you can do better.
We also used our own camp toilet, but the shower was clutch. We had a bit of an issue with the hose running from the building to the shower outhouse, but once we resolved it, it was SO NICE to just take. hot shower whenever we wanted. Nothing beats being clean before sleeping under the stars.
The primary reason we booked this was for the location, and it was nothing short of perfect. You're a stone's throw from Hannaford (with a Tesla Supercharger) if you want to cook, and great eats in Rhinebeck, Red Hook, and Kingston if you don't. Top breakfast recco: Mighty Donuts.
I'd come back!
