Campsite Nestled in Pine Forest
What a magical place to spend a night in the woods! This seemed like it would be a great place to take kids or the young at heart, as the setup encouraged play in nature with the sandbox and little stick and rock art around. The compost toilet was very clean and had no odor. I didn’t make a fire but it looked like it was well-stocked with supplies like matches and firewood. We could hear the main road and see the house from the tent site, so keep that in mind whether you like the comfort of civilization close by or like to feel like you’re in the wilderness. I really enjoyed laying out in the hammock. The bugs weren’t bad there (at least in late August when I visited).

beautiful and family friendly!
Beautiful, peaceful, well maintained and well appointed camp site. We've hipcamped across the country and back and this is easily in the top 5 places we've stayed.
We heard owls in the woods, and woke to a chorus of birdsong. The tent platform was sound and level, the composting outhouse is exceptionally clean and well kept, the fire pit is wide and the trails are very well maintained, there was firewood, a hammock, a new picnic table. It has everything you could want. Literally the only thing lacking is an outdoor shower.
We camped there with our two young kids and there are a variety of sections off the main trail where kids can play (sandbox, hammocks, etc). Very family friendly and welcoming.
We will absolutely be staying here again!

We loved it here and didn’t wanna leave! So actually ended up staying another night from the planned one. The location is very central to many trails and state parks. The host is uber responsive and very friendly. If pitching more than 2 tents it could be tricky to find level ground, but the platform they provide sufficed for our group of three. Everything provided from the composting bathroom, to the clear trails, and even fire starter was very appreciated. Thank you for everything Meghan. I’d like to come back next summer just to see what unfolds in the sanctuary. You can tell it’s becoming a really special place for a number of uses. Notes to keep in mind for more sensitive campers- it is closer to the roads and we often heard cars zooming in the night. Given it was a holiday weekend I assume more active than usual… If you plan on packing multiple loads in your car, the campsite itself is a mild walk with some steepness at the end. Our second night we had many hours of rain and still managed to safely pack it out upon departure.

Amazing private camping
This campsite is so beautiful and private. The hosts have clearly put a lot of thought and work into the details. There is a wood chipped path to the site from the road. There is a great sand play-pit for kids along the trail. At the site, there is a amazing fire pit and tent platform. They even had a box with matches, firestater and loads of wood ready. The hosts were available and responsive for all our questions ahead of time and during the stay. It felt like our own private camping resort, but was so close to ithaca that we could easily get to everything we wanted to do. We will definitely be going back!
