Camptown

Camptown spreads 26 cabins and 24 hotel rooms across a wooded property in Leeds, at the foot of the Catskills. There are private corners to settle into and shared spaces that bring people together: a pantry, a seasonal pool, a sauna and places to eat.

Casa Susanna gives the stay its culinary center. Chef Efrén Hernández draws on Mexican food traditions and Hudson Valley ingredients, with tortillas made in-house and a menu that changes with the season. Around the hotel, the nearby towns offer art, breakfast stops and another reason to take the long way back.
