Private campsites & glamping in Coxsackie, NY
Coxsackie is a small Hudson riverfront town in Greene County, halfway between Albany and Catskill, the kind of place the Thruway slides past without a second glance — which is exactly why it works. The riverfront park looks straight across to the Catskill Mountains, the main street holds a diner and a rail-trail trailhead, and ten minutes inland the land rises into the ridge country where the retreat properties hide.
The draw here is a design-forward nature retreat on 100 ridge-top acres between the Catskills and the Berkshires: seventeen tiny cabins set on a precipice so you feel like you're sleeping in the trees, with a shale quarry swimming pond, 100 acres of trails, and a pavilion lounge for the hours between hikes. It's forty minutes from Albany, two hours from Manhattan, and built for people who want the view without the scene.

Camping in Coxsackie: FAQs
How far is Coxsackie from New York City?
About 120 miles, roughly 2 hours via the Thruway. It's also 25 minutes south of Albany — the easiest Hudson Valley glamping to reach from the Capital Region.
What's there to do in Coxsackie?
The riverfront park and boat launch, the Hudson River Greenway trail, and easy drives to Olana (Frederic Church's Persian-style home, 20 minutes) and the Catskill trailheads.
When is the best time to visit?
May through October. The ridge-top setting is spectacular in fall; the swimming pond is the summer anchor. Winter is quiet and several properties go seasonal.
Is the area good for hiking?
Yes — the retreat properties have private trails, and you're 30 minutes from the Catskills' eastern trailheads at Kaaterskill Falls and North-South Lake.
Can you see the Catskills from Coxsackie?
Directly. The Hudson riverfront faces the full eastern escarpment of the Catskills — sunset from the riverfront park is the town's best free show.
Is Coxsackie a town or a village?
Both, technically — the village of Coxsackie sits inside the town of Coxsackie. Visitors mean the riverfront village; the glamping stays are in the surrounding town.
