Private campsites & glamping in Saugerties, NY
Saugerties is the Catskills' coolest small town and everyone within a hundred miles knows it: a main street of bookshops, record stores, and the kind of bakery people drive for, ten minutes from Woodstock and twenty from the trailheads. It's also where the Esopus Creek meets the Hudson, which means swimming holes, a lighthouse you can visit by kayak, and Opus 40 — the six-acre bluestone sculpture environment one man built by hand over 37 years.
Glamping here is anchored by a full Airstream village on Route 212: rows of polished silver trailers with hotel-grade beds, spa-style bathrooms, and fire pits, plus cabins and tents on the same grounds. It's the Catskills' most turnkey outdoor stay — twenty minutes from Woodstock, two hours from the city, and the rare glamping property that handles a rainy weekend without breaking a sweat.

Camping in Saugerties: FAQs
How far is Saugerties from New York City?
About 100 miles, roughly 2 hours via the Thruway. Trailways buses run from Port Authority; Woodstock is ten minutes south.
What is Opus 40?
A six-acre environmental sculpture built from bluestone quarry rubble by Harvey Fite between 1939 and 1976 — part sculpture park, part concert venue, entirely singular. Ten minutes from town.
What's the best time to visit Saugerties?
May through October. Summer for the creek and the town; fall for foliage and the garlic festival. Winter is quiet.
Is Saugerties walkable?
The village center is — main street, the creek, and several restaurants are on foot. The glamping properties and trailheads need a car.
Can you swim in the Esopus Creek?
At designated spots, yes — the creek has beloved swimming holes, but it's a real river: check conditions, never swim alone, and respect posted closures after rain.
How far is Woodstock?
Ten minutes south. Easy for a day trip — the town green, the Maverick concerts in summer — but Saugerties sleeps quieter and cheaper.
