Any fan of Star Wars will tell you that it’s not simply a movie franchise — it’s an entire universe. And it’s one most fans can only dream to be a part of. So a Star Wars-themed camping destination in one of the most resplendent regions in the United States? That’s a dream come true for fans! In the extraordinary Catskills of New York, R2 Where R U is a double tent camping destination that’s truly one-of-a-kind. With next-level camping amenities, sublime scenery, and plenty of fun Easter eggs, this retreat is a bucket-list experience for all Star Wars fans.
The Catskill Mountains are one of New York’s greatest treasures. Comprised of more than 700,000 acres flush with waterfalls, rivers, and old-growth hemlock and hardwood forests, this region is a wondrous world offering endless adventures.
The Catskills have long been a favorite playground for outdoor enthusiasts and a quiet escape for busy New Yorkers. And now, with the addition of this themed retreat, the Catskills have become a bona fide bucket-list destination for Star Wars fans.
Yes — Star Wars fans! This is R2 Where R U, a double tent campsite that takes themed camping to a whole other galaxy.
Nestled in the White Lake Region just two hours from New York City in Bethel (a place of immense cultural significance of its own), this retreat is a place where imagination and inspiration meet the greatest artist of all, Mother Nature.
Surrounded by lush forest scenery that’s reminiscent of Endor, R2 Where R U features a Star Wars theme that truly works in harmony with the landscape.
The large planform includes two canvas safari tents, each with a queen-sized bunk bed and two pop-up tents, two picnic tables, fire pits, and iconic Adirondack chairs to soak up the rapturous lake views.
The entire site sleeps up to 16; 12 campers are included in the base rate. The design of this retreat truly respects the land, too; amenities are bare-bones but comfortable: there are two Tentrr loos (camp toilets), Coleman sun showers, portable generators, and campfire grills. Think Rebel Forward Base Camp, but in the Catskills.
Dogs are not permitted at this accommodation, however, so leave little Chewie at home!
You’ll feel as though you’re traipsing through Dagobah as you hike through the forest around this campsite — with a backpack or child in tow, you can even pretend you’re Luke carrying Jedi Master Yoda.
Prefer the water to the woods? Bring a canoe or kayak to take out on the private lake, for a dreamy day on the water.
R2 Where R U is a wondrous world unto itself; a planet full of beauty and intrigue that fits right into the Star Wars universe. This is the way.
Whether you’re a major Star Wars fan, married to a Star Wars Fan, or simply wish to stay at an incredibly beautiful tent camping destination in the Catskills, we guarantee this is one adventure in this galaxy that’s worth seeking out.
