1. Secluded wall tent in Esopus Creek (from USD 96)

Experience authentic camping in the Catskill Mountains through this Montana Canvas outfitter wall tent on the banks of Esopus Creek. The property sits on a 12-acre (4.9-hectare) private land and is a short hike away from the bus stop. Don’t worry about carrying all your gears as they will be shuttled to the camp via an all-terrain vehicle for free.

This tent is a comfy place for four as it is furnished with two bunk beds with full-size mattresses. You’ll only have to supply your own sleeping bag. Specializing in winter camping, the tent is heated by a wood-burning stove and propane heater to keep you toasty. The camp is secluded but remains close and accessible from Big Indian Park. When you want to take a break from cooking, you can easily walk to the nearby restaurant.
