AutoCamp’s Newest Locale Nods to Nearby Catskill Mountains<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

With its siren call to nature and unique, tied-to-place hospitality experiences, AutoCamp exemplifies the concept of glamping, offering guests access to customized Airstreams, modern cabins, and luxury yurts. By year\u2019s end, the brand, founded in 2013 by Neil Dipaola, an outdoors man and real estate developer, will boast nine locations\u2014all specifically situated within a three-hour drive from a major metropolis. Most recent to open is a 37-acre property in Saugerties, New York, masterminded by Workshop\/APD, the inter\u00addisciplinary studio behind AutoCamp\u2019s first East Coast location<\/a>, on Cape Cod, launched in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Catskill Mountains landscape provided ample inspiration, firm principals and cofounders Matt Berman and Andrew Kotchen explain. \u201cThe site, with its agrarian roots and industrial vibe, spoke to us from the beginning,\u201d Kotchen enthuses. Serving the site\u2019s 65 Airstreams, 10 cabins, and 10 \u201cbase camps\u201d\u2014a com\u00adbo of luxury tent and Airstream\u2014is the clubhouse, a gathering space for convivial community and food service. The 5,000-square-foot building, with an exposed post-and-beam structure and a standing-seam dark-metal gabled roof, takes cues from the farm vernacular. Skylights flood the interior with sunshine, a retractable wall separates meeting and lounge areas, and the predominant materials are plywood and concrete masonry block. Furnishings\u2014a bit vintage, a bit hippie, mostly modern\u2014are by regional makers and pay homage to the area\u2019s connection to art, craft, and music (Woodstock is just 10 miles away). One wall sports a mandala of cobalt camping-ware by Elizabeth Schnurstein; near the entry hangs a timber artwork by Amanda Whitworth, who also created the circular piece overlooking the firepit, another brand signature. Warming up the lounge are rugs by none other than Workshop\/APD, now busy at work on another AutoCamp property to come.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
