In a secluded area of New York’s Catskills Mountains, there’s a small campsite that promises a full escape. The woods seem to continue forever in all directions, and aside from the occasional hiker, there’s no one to be seen. For the visitors who are here, a few tiny-home cabins offer just the bare necessities.
It’s an attractive spot for nature lovers, and perhaps even more so for visitors from New York City, with their reputation for fast-paced, overstressed lifestyles. That’s exactly what Getaway, the startup behind this campsite, wants to help them with.
The chance for a short retreat to nature is what attracted Yumi Matsuo, a photographer who wanted to flee the city for a weekend. She discovered the campsite after the company liked her photos on Instagram. When she arrived, she found that most people she met on the campsite actually lived within a 30-mile radius of her Brooklyn apartment. “Every single person who was there was a New Yorker,” Matsuo says.
