Ring Homestead Camp & Adventure Paintball — Local services in Town of Wallkill

The staff who work here are very nice.

We actually did not know this was a large campground adventure park. We had tried booking vrbo that advertised glamping and it was cancelled after a 24 hour no response window- booked on airbnb (which by the way is slightly cheaper) - we booked through them because we were expecting a boutique glamping experience. Neither website indicated a large campground so we were expecting the typical small setting. If you are expecting glamping I would look for another location, if you like to camp in large communal areas this may be your cup of tea. We primitive camp in areas like the smoky mountains, white mountains, and Catskills. This is more urban lot campsites to accommodate large groups likely to use the paintball setups, perhaps people from the cities looking for a quick and easy “camping” getaway who don’t traditionally camp, etc. -on the websites we booked, it mentioned fishing. If you are a fishermen don’t bother to plan on fishing, it’s a mud puddle with a few cats, maybe 60 feet wide surrounded by grass and lots of weeds, too shallow for anything but frogs and cats- as bottom feeders cats can still grow even if not stocked but don’t bother for anything else.

Upon checking in you get a grocery bag with a sanitized sheet and pillow case for each bed used in your tent. Rules are handed to you at check in which is nice. There is a convenience store on site with some things stocked that you may need at very much convenience prices. Add ons such as a blanket or space heater for their glamping experience are an upcharge. Activities are also an upcharge. We were there on a Saturday which is a prime time I would suspect. The portapottys we used needed immediate servicing.

The trashcan was full upon arrival at our glamping site, we did pick up trash around our campsite pad - we appreciated the cooler of water and soap dispenser at our picnic table. We also appreciated their use of solar power energy.

Overall, they were swamped, understaffed and overpriced to advertise this as “glamping.”, perhaps the right ballpark on pricing for urban campsite. We were moved to a premiere site from our initial booking which was nice, but it was to accommodate a large group- again not the boutique experience we were expecting with such large numbers of tents- reminiscent of a gold mining tent town. To reiterate, the staff were nice, but if you are expecting to glamp or if you are used to a true primitive or state or national park type camping experience this will not be...

For the past 7 years my friends and I have made Ring Homestead Camp & Adventure Paintball our go to place for our paintball trips. Every year we bring we bring a large group (50-80) of people & we always have a great time. The staff treats us like family, hence why we've come back each year & ALWAYS recommend our friends, associates & colleagues to come there. But on 9/17/2017 our group of 90+ was turned off by the manager there named Laura.We've never seen or dealt with Laura before, but from the moment we arrived around 830/845am she had a nasty attitude toward us. Several people never went paint balling before & wanted clarification on the process. So they decided to ask her questions, but she got frustrated & started responding very rudely. this is just one example out of many that i was told by my group & their experience with Laura. Not only was she nasty with us, but she was extremely rude with her employees. I commend them because despite her yelling & talking down to them in front of our group (very unprofessional), they kept a positive attitude the whole time & answered every question & fixed every issue without any problem. A few of the workers there were happy to see us because they've been there as long as we've been coming. We could tell by the look on their faces that they weren't happy working for Laura which is another problem. A mother came in to let them know her party of teenage boys were running late for their 2:00 appointment & hearing the way she talked to the mother not only left me with a surprised look on my face but on the mothers face as well. i've been in the customer service field for over 10 years & this is not the way you treat your customers & employees. Especially if you want to continue running a successful business. Laura needs to have a positive attitude at all times dealing with customers, if she is unable to do so then she needs be managing something else other than employees & customers. Many of us came from Long Island where they have a few paintball fields. So to travel nearly 2 hours to get treated the way we did was not...

Sweet accommodations and extremely friendly staff. It was an awesome experience! My husband, kids and I stayed two nights in one of the private wilderness tents (glamping). Tents were clean with actual full size bed as well as bunk beds. Also included in the tents were quiet solar generators with fast charging usb, multiple lighting units, mini fridge and kuregic coffee maker, personal outdoor grill, picnic table and fire pit. Shared showers, toilets and sinks as well as porter potties were all clean and handicap accessible. The Ziplining rope course, tubing tracks and paintball were both adult and kid friendly and operated in a professional manner. We love camping, but might not want to again because staying in these GLAMPING TENTS may have spoiled us! Highly recommend going. What an amazing way to immerse ourselves in...
