Our parents from Long Island, NY wanted to move to the country, and in 1953 bought this, our family property. We grew up milking our own cows, kept chickens & ducks and many other farm animals, grew our own gardens, made maple syrup from our trees, and rode our horses everywhere. And swam in the lake every day! My siblings and I still maintain and enjoy the nature on the property, and especially the lake, and feel blessed to be able to share it with our own children and grandchildren today. It is our pleasure to share it with others who may also appreciate its beauty and serenity, and who may not be fortunate enough to have access to such a peaceful place. Learn more about this land: Stay on 10 beautiful acres of rustic, private land with many good camping spots to choose from in grassy areas with lots of trees.  Enjoy boating/fishing/swimming. We have a gazebo at the lake shore, and an anchored swimming float. We allow the use of kayaks, canoe, rowboat, and peddle boat. Lots of wildlife around the lake; a resident heron, eagles, geese, beavers and otters, and the usual on the property like woodchucks and rabbits, and DEER of course.  Campfire ring,  water spigot (private drilled well) and electric available on the property. Neighbor cottage partially visible, but our property is pretty secluded and private. Two picnic tables, many chairs and side tables.  Well behaved pets okay, leashes may be required.  Mostly level terrain, ample parking area.  Very peaceful here.  My favorite place to relax, with my guitar and a glass of wine! Campsites are reasonably private and secluded. We mow paths through the area where camping is best; there are sunny and shady spots.  You may choose any spot you like, mowed or not.  It's pretty spread out, both sides of stream.  The lake and dock area and the boats, the gazebo, as well as the large stone fire ring and picnic tables, are communal. There are portable metal firepits available as well, for use at your campsite. Parking is in a large gravel area behind cottage area. Most campsites are located across a small stream, easily accessible (less than a 3 min walk) from the parking area.  Path immediately next to parking leads to a nice camping area alongside stream. Truck and car-top tents in the parking area may be allowed upon request. We ask that cars stay in the parking area, but there is a wheelbarrow for use in transporting your gear to the spot you choose.   There is NO bathroom (our cottage is private.)  You must pack it out, or bring your own portable toilet with disposable liner bags.  Trash and recycling cans are provided. No shower, but the lake is great for swimming.  There is an anchored swimming float to hang out in the sunshine!Stay on 10 beautiful acres of rustic, private land on a private lake, with many good camping spots to choose from in grassy areas with lots of trees.  Enjoy boating/fishing/swimming in a peaceful, NO MOTORS lake.

Secluded Lakeside Camping
Best place to camp with dogs!
We had the best time at Cathy's Secluded Lakeside Camp. It was the perfect place for us to camp and bring our dogs. We set up our tent on the knoll overlooking the lake. We were able to cook, eat and drink, and hang our hammock. The water activities were a lot of fun. We got to take the 2-person canoe out on the lake, as well as swim to the floating dock. The best part of the lake is that there are no motorized watercraft, so it is always very peaceful and calm. At the night the stars were very bright and we were able to enjoy the stars. We appreciated the well cared for lawn, we were able to walk in bare feet and the dogs had the best time chasing each other around the yard. Cathy was not in town for our visit, but she was very communicative on the phone and through email. Tom, her husband was there and was so kind and welcoming to use during our stay. We hope to be back soon to enjoy the solitude of the lake!

Relax and unwind.
Had a great time camping here on the lake for 3 nights. Perfect for a long weekend getaway to relax and unwind. Salt Springs State Park is not too far away and offers great hiking opportunities, scenic views and waterfalls. Definitely recommend camping here.

Beautiful lakeside gem!
This campsite was amazing! Catherine's sister Maryanne greeted us and gave us the run down. She was sweet as pie! Our campsite was huge and clean. The common area near the gazebo and dock was beautiful. The use of the row boat, paddle boat and kayaks was so fun! Plenty of wood to keep us warm on those chilly nights. Definitely going to go back!
