We recently stayed at AutoCamp Saugerties and overall really loved the property itself. It’s such a quick and easy drive from New York City, but once you’re there it truly feels like you’ve had a real escape. The setting is beautiful and peaceful, and the concept delivers that elevated outdoor experience they promise.
The main lodge was also a highlight — having food available onsite, a bonfire at night, games, and organized activities made it easy to relax and enjoy the property without having to leave. There’s a great atmosphere there that makes it feel social but still cozy.
Unfortunately, we had two issues during our stay that impacted our experience.
First, we encountered a field mouse inside our Airstream. We completely understand that the property is in a natural setting and wildlife can happen, but finding a mouse inside the unit was unsettling and affected our comfort.
Second, during checkout, I had been granted a late checkout. When I arrived at the front desk at the approved time, I was told that I did not have late checkout before my reservation was reviewed. It felt accusatory and uncomfortable, especially since the information hadn’t been checked yet. Miscommunications happen, but the tone of the interaction felt unnecessarily abrupt.
I reached out afterward to share this feedback directly but did not receive a response, which was disappointing.
The property itself is lovely and has so much potential to be a go-to getaway from the city. We would consider returning and recommending it to others, but we hope guest concerns are handled with a bit more care and responsiveness in the future.
