Gunks AAC campground update?
|
Looking at the calendar for the camp site it looks like there is space over memorial, but trying to book it says it's busy. Go figure. |
|
We camped at the MUA yesterday night along with quite a few other people. Cannot comment on the longevity of the access though. |

Hey guys, |
|
That would be a real bummer. I love that place when it's all of a sudden too cold to camp, if you stay there with four people it's cheaper than the hostel. Has a real David Lynch vibe. |
|
Not sad to see it go, the couple times I've gone, the room may have been cheap but that's no excuse for it being dirty with mold in the bathroom. |

Unfortunately, it would not replace the "cheap hotel" niche that Motel 87 filled for us. |

Unfortunately, it would not replace the "cheap hotel" niche that Motel 87 filled for us.Those links are for two different proposals. The first link is a hotel and waterpark. It states: "Turk has proposed building the Wildberry Lodge on two parcels totaling 57 acres between the Thruway Exit 18 toll plaza and South Ohioville Road in New Paltz." That location is immediately to the east of Exit 18, "not 20 minutes north" |

Yup, you're right - two different projects. Here is the latest news that I could find on the waterpark/hotel: |
|
I am planning on camping up at the new campsite in a few weeks with my 4 year old. Is that OK, to bring kids?? Or is this campground supposed to only be for climbers? |

Camping is for all - the restrictions apply to type of camp |

I have a Ford Econoline 150 and was told (before c/g opened) that it would "probably" squeak by in length, when the discussion of length lint was being made. So - many RV's are too long, and maybe even some of the bigger pickup trucks.Awesome, thanks! We used to climb a bunch up there, but now we mainly hike and bike. Hoping to get back to climbing this summer and get our son into it, too! |

A Ford Econoline is simply not that long of a vehicle and many common and typical climbers' vehicles are longer. |

It's of a length that is moving away from a "tent-camping" set up. I would say that there are actually very few climber vehicles which are much longer than that. A 4 door pickup is probably about that length. |

Jim, if they're around northern NJ, that'd be great! |

1 FULLY AND WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE THAT THE RATES ARE TOO HIGH FOR THE NEW AAC CAMPSITE, ONLY ALLOWING 1 CAR PER SITE IS A MOVE MOTIVATED BY PURE, UNADULTERATED FILTHY GREED, THE MOHONKY PRESERVE IS SIMPLY BEING GREEDY, THEY SHOULD NEVER HAVE CLOSED SLIME OR THE MOUNTAIN HOUSE, THERE NEEDS TO BE FAR MORE FREE CAMPING. |

^^^ That's a hell of a first post. Lots of YELLING, trust funds, lizards, grizzlies, greed and bolsheviks. And poop. |
