I hiked parts of the NPT this summer with my hammock. Beautiful area! One day I'm going back to do the entire trail.
I just hooked up with a group who started section hiking last year so I am one section behind them, but last month we did the Upper Benson to Piseco section and I hung at Silver Lake and then at Hamilton Lake Lean-To. It was beautiful.
Need to do the Wakely Dam to Piseco section to catch up with the group.
<Insert something witty and awe-inspiring>
Haven't done it yet, but will advise you to watch out for the bears around the Indian Lake area if you go. The local news reported last week of a bear encounter a woman hiker had that ended up with her stabbing one of the bears with her knife! Afterwards, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Department issued a warning about the bears in the area.

Yes, so far Upper Benson to Wakely Dam. Plenty of trees, very remote. Piseco to Wakely Dam has a very tough 10 mile section that has been detoured due to flooding.
Next May I am finishing it up to Placid.
Have fun -
Yes! There are tons of awesome hanging spots on the NPT.
