Private campsites & glamping in Kingston, NY
Kingston was New York's first capital, and it wears the history lightly: the Stockade District's 17th-century stone houses, the Rondout waterfront's brick warehouses, and a main street corridor — Uptown to Midtown to Downtown — that has become the Hudson Valley's densest concentration of restaurants, galleries, and record shops. It's the valley's working town, not its showroom, which is why people keep moving here.
The glamping play is on the river itself: a former brickyard on Lindsley Avenue turned into a waterfront retreat with cabins, event spaces, and direct Hudson access. You're sleeping ten minutes from three distinct downtowns, with the Ashokan Rail Trail, the Catskill trailheads, and the Rondout's kayaking all within half an hour. Two hours from Manhattan, and the rare Hudson Valley stay where the town is half the point.

Questions, answered
Camping in Kingston: FAQs
How far is Kingston from New York City?
About 90 miles, roughly 2 hours via the Thruway. Trailways buses run frequently from Port Authority; it's one of the easiest valley towns to reach car-free.
What are the three Kingstons?
Uptown (the historic Stockade District), Midtown (the emerging gallery corridor), and Downtown/Rondout (the waterfront). Ten minutes apart by car, each with its own character.
What's the best time to visit?
Year-round — Kingston is a real town, not a seasonal resort. Summer and fall are liveliest; winter has the quietest rates.
Is there hiking near Kingston?
The Ashokan Rail Trail starts minutes away; the Catskills' eastern trailheads (Overlook Mountain, Kaaterskill) are 30-45 minutes. The Hudson has kayaking from the Rondout.
What's the food scene like?
The strongest in the Hudson Valley outside Hudson itself — the Uptown and Rondout corridors hold the region's best concentration of independent restaurants.
Can you get to Kingston without a car?
Yes — Trailways from Port Authority is about 2 hours, and the town is increasingly bikeable. For trailheads and glamping properties, you'll want wheels.
