6/10
A convenient and charming setting, we left with an overall sense of disappointment with the quality of the grounds, amenities, and lodging given the cost per night and additional amenity fee.
Starting with the grounds/amenities - the clubhouse furnishings were quite dingy and, while I understand it is a family friendly establishment, it was constantly messy and there were crumbs, toys, etc everywhere. The furniture was beat up, dirty, etc. Additionally, there are more amenities found on 'standard' campground than this 'Glamping' experience - Koa's etc have more activities etc on site and you only pay ~30-50 a night there. For $350+ a night, I'd expect more; hot tub, pool, pool table, things like that. I'd also expect more than frozen food menu for onsite food options. And, while a personal experience, I arrived with a broken foot that was made known to the check in assistant and wasn't offered so much as a ride to my airstream despite there being a near constant stream of golf carts flying around the premises.
As far as the lodging itself, half of the windows didn't close properly. The blinds did little to keep the light out and, while I understand we're 'camping' - I view this as more of a nature hotel than a camping experience so I'd expect to be able to block out more light than a tent.
To sum it up, while on the surface, very nice, for the price, I'd opt for a rental house/BnB in the area to get a similar experience of the Hudson Valley.
