- Long Pond State Forest five minutes’ drive; Greek Peak half an hour
- Fishing in the brook edging the property; stores five minutes’ drive
Looking to escape your fellow man for the getaway experience of a lifetime? Make your way to Live The Outdoors, a 10-acre woodland property on the outskirts of Smithville Flats, New York State, that you’ll have all to yourself. This is wild camping as it should be, with your pitching area tucked under mature trees or at the end of the drive-in trail – either way, you'll have no neighbours other than possibly some wildlife.
This wide dirt path into the property is accessible with any four-wheel drive, motorbike, cycle or quad bike. Once in there, you have the option of fishing in the Strong Brook bordering the private woodland. All pets are welcome on site.
As the place is totally off grid, you’ll need to bring everything in with you, from drinking water to torches (and spare batteries) and food (you can grill stuff on the firepit or barbecue provided). The site also has some other items that guests can use free of charge, including a battery-powered water siphon and a small portable electric power bank.
The small towns of Greene (15 minutes’ drive) and Smithville Flats (five minutes) have a number of diners and restaurants as well as shops where you can stock up on basics.

Liked We had an amazing time at Live The Outdoors! The property was peaceful and completely private, exactly what we were looking for. We loved relaxing by the fire ring at night and enjoying the quiet, natural surroundings. It was the perfect getaway to unwind and disconnect. We’ll definitely be coming back for another stay. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

Local attractions
If you’re looking for more outdoor activity, Long Pond State Forest (five minutes’ drive) is the spot for kayaking on the lake, hiking around the conifer woodland and fishing for perch and bass from the boat launches. Keep a look out for herons and ospreys on your adventures.
In winter, you can go ice-fishing there too, and there are multiple snowmobile trails in several of the local state parks. You can ski at Greek Peak (half an hour), where there are tree-lined runs for all abilities.
Locally, you can also go horse riding (five minutes) or safe swimming in Whitney Point Lake (half an hour, no motor boats allowed). If the weather should turn nasty on you, keep your activity levels up with a visit to the rock-climbing gym at Lindseth Climbing Center (55 minutes).
