Packing Guide

Your complete packing checklist

All of Wild Hudson Valley's activities are outdoors, and it is important for you to come prepared.

Clothes & Toiletries

Even in the warmer months, the temperature can drop in the evening. So, be sure to bring warmer clothes than you think you'll need!

A range of comfortable outdoor clothing for hot and cool weather (layers are great!)
Hat and/or sunglasses
Long pants & close-toed shoes (think ticks and stinging nettle)
Toiletries (we do not provide bath products)
Sunscreen and bug spray
Rain gear/umbrella
Sturdy outdoor footwear and water shoes/sandals (the stream shores are rocky and some trails forge the creek - sport sandals are a great dual-purpose option)
Slippers or flip-flops for inside your tent (we ask that you take off outdoor shoes when entering your tent)
Swimwear and a beach towel if you plan to visit a lake or swimming area.

Gear

At your campsite, you'll find most of the amenities of a traditional hotel room, plus some extras to enhance your camping experience. That said, below are the items we recommend you bring to get the most out of your weekend.

Food & drinks for your entire stay*
Towels & Bedding (sleeping bags, pillows, blankets etc)*
Cooler & Ice*
Portable camp/beach chairs*
Flashlights and/or headlamps
Binoculars
Hiking gear: Backpack, water bottle, multi-tool, lighter, hand sanitizer, first aid kit
Notebook and pen/pencils (nature journaling!)
Additional cooking equipment (other than what we provide) that you might want for special meals. Examples include: aluminum foil, portable stove, thermos/tumbler, bottle opener/corkscrew, spices/condiments, dish towels/napkins.
Extra tableware for additional guests (we provide a four-person set that includes plates, mugs, bowls, and utensils)
Electronics... We suggest leaving them at home! To encourage our guests to unplug and be present during their stay, we do not offer Wi-Fi on site. We also highly discourage bluetooth speakers/portable radios, so that all of our guests can enjoy the sounds of nature and a peaceful, relaxed environment.
Fishing gear
