New York's Catskill region continues to see increased development and as of March 2023, with another boutique property added to the growing list of design-minded accommodations for nature-loving urban dwellers. Situated on 22 acres, the newly opened Camptown is a boutique hotel retreat featuring a renovated 1930s motor lodge and stand-alone cabins in Leeds, NY. Thoughtfully curated and nature-focused, the property boasts 50 guest suites, an on-site restaurant, and an imminent pool and lounge area set to open in Summer 2023.
Located just across the Rip Van Winkle bridge, the property is the newest project from Ray Pirkle and Kim Bucci, owners of the neighboring Rivertown Lodge in Hudson, NY. Renovated and redesigned under their real estate and design company Ramshackle Studio, the duo reimagined the property into a contemporary country escape, complete with custom woodwork, vintage and modern furnishings, and a color palette of bold, earth tones.
