Our river front property along the Tioughnioga River is just a few miles off Route 81 in Whitney Point NY. Our tent camping/RV site offers primitive camping with 30 amp RV electric hook up, sewer hook up right at the camping area, and a water spigot (sediment and carbon filter) 200 feet from campsite. Water available (normally April through November depending on weather temperatures). Enjoy fishing, kayaking, and swimming right on the property, and visit Dorchester Park just minutes up the road.Pitch your tent on our 3 acre property and enjoy all the river has to offer. There’s a fire ring and picnic table right at the campsite. Watch the bald eagles and ducks fly in and land on the water, drop a line in to fish or go swimming. You can visit Dorchester Park just a few minutes up the road where you will find a beautiful lake where you can rent canoes/kayaks/paddle boats, swim in the lifeguarded swimming area, fish, let kids play on the playground, and enjoy their paved walking path around the lake! All within minutes of the property, you’ll find the local BBQ place, the ice cream shop, and the local grocery store.

My Favorite Hipcamp!
Frequent flyer here! This is the one Hipcamp site I’ve returned to every year- multiple times. Each bust has been a little different with changes of season. The water level changes, bird migration varies, fishing is always a surprise but the scenery is always spectacular. This recent autumn trip had leaves falling that were as big as my head! I actually used one as a little rug reaching around to latch my trailer door. There were still interesting birds hanging around, a very foggy morning and the fish were still biting despite the cold water temps. I could hear a bit more traffic noise with less vegetation to buffer it, but it was still very peaceful especially down by the river. The locals are amazingly friendly and I always feel welcome and meet the most interesting people when I wander into town for something- which is also very conveniently close. The lawn is flawlessly manicured and the firewood is dry and great quality. That’s a rare find- so consider that as well as the available electric and the sewer dump for those of us with campers when you look at the nightly cost. Plus- you can’t buy solitude at the public parks or even most Hipcamps! The state parks I’ve been to rarely offer electricity and the firewood is expensive! Beth is also absolutely the most wonderful host- that’s priceless! I can’t wait until next season. It’s my one go to camp that I know I’ll enjoy!

I believe this was my third summer returning to Beth’s beautiful land on the river. I started out in a tent and progressed to a tiny 13’ fiberglass camper. It’s a great place for either since you can choose where to put a tent or enjoy an electric hookup with a camper. I do a lot of Adirondack camping so this is a luxury! They also supply really nice firewood, so when looking at the cost keep that in mind. What a perk! The convenient aspect about this site is it’s close to civilization but the only humans you may see by the river are a few kayakers on a weekend. If you are lucky enough to be there during a bird migration you’ll see the most incredible birds. Fishing is fantastic too when the water is deep enough to give you some good drops off the bank. This past trip I hooked and released countless Smallmouth Bass (some huge) as well as a new species for me (Fallfish). There’s also a great park with a little beach and a quarry right down the road for more kayak and fishing options. . Bring bug spray just in case - this was the first time I’ve ever had mosquitos. There is a bit of traffic noise but it’s minimal and the train is soothing. The convenience is a small price to pay for traffic sounds and beats loud camp neighbors in a public campground. There is only one site here- yours! The best part of this experience is Beth. She’s so kind and I’ve enjoyed my interactions with her so much. I’m looking forward to my next visit to this beautiful slice of heaven.

The site is situated on a lovely river. But it’s basically camping at a giant yard Positives: We saw a ton of birds…eagles, osprey, kingfishers, heron, etc. We brought our paddle boards and paddle upstream until we came to the dam. And the neighbors nearby were very quiet. Host was great with communication Negatives: it’s like camping in someone’s yard. Secondly, the cost per night, isn’t really worth it. I have done a number of HipCamp locations at the same price point, and they have offered more amenities. This had no toilet and no shower. I thought it would be some incredible location for the price, but it was very mediocre. I think if the price was more like $40, it would have felt like a good value.

This was our first experience at a hip camp and I must say my husband and I were not disappointed. The property is all to yourself, level and at the rivers edge. You do have to go down a small path but then it is well maintained grass to set up your chairs for the day. On our first morning, we saw a bald eagle, osprey, egret, belted king fisher, green heron and the best treat was a momma deer and her yearling walking across the river! Firewood was provided . We were only a few miles from town where there is a Dollar General, ice cream stand, and grocery store. Beth is amazing in her fast responses to ALL my questions. The only con would be hearing early morning traffic from the roadway but it would not stop us from staying there again. It truly was paradise for us. We never felt that relaxed. We will be back again!
