Great location, not the most isolated spot due to it being located right off the road, but the amenities and the convenience of them are fantastic. Walking up to the river roaring is a lovely feeling, unfortunately I did not have the time to do some fishing, but I know the trout were calling my name! Have to stop by again!

This was our second time camping at Ken's (this time with friends and their baby) and it was just as beautiful as we remembered it! Coming later in the season from our first visit meant more rain and fewer campers on the property, which was autumnally idyllic with all of the changing colors on the surrounding trees. It was a wonderful treat as ever to have those waterfalls as our shower throughout our stay. Already looking forward to our next trip out!

Lovely place and lovely management,super helpful. Decks overseeing the river were hightlight. We wished there was availablity. Clean updated bathrooms. If you are into fishing it might be the perfect place. We werent but still enjoyed it. There is reception so u can use ur phones( i had to use for work) . No need to buy firewood etc from outside.

This campground was a total surprise wasn’t sure what to expect when I first booked it. When I first reached out to them they couldn’t have been nicer. Showed up and everything seemed to be very well kept. New water and electric the decking was a nice touch with the gravel. The bathrooms are very well kept and clean, the owner just seemed like they couldn’t do enough for you. The campsite rest on the beautiful river full of trout. I will be returning for sure, very please.

This is a nice spacious site, the creek is a nice feature. Scott provided ample firewood. The shooting range while not close by can be heard. If you are camping with dogs that are afraid of fireworks, this is not a good site. Both my dogs are seasoned campers but we usually camp to get away from the fireworks🙂. The outhouse was further away than we anticipated, wasn’t an issue for us but something to keep in mind.

Nice large, open and private spot by a river. We took a swim in the river after a hike up the hill next to camp to the coffee and chocolate shop. The property itself is pretty and pleasant to walk around. You can also walk to Tanner Falls down the road. It's mostly a walk on a dirt road more than a hike, but pleasant and a nice site to stop and see. The site was well kept, with a clean out house a few minutes walk across the road. Host was very kind and helpful. On arrival he showed us his garden (where we were given permission to pull a few veggies from) and took us to the local trail. The site is by a road, so you can hear some cars every so often but it's not super busy. There's also state game lands nearby, we heard a few gun shots late at night but they were definitely a far off away. I would happily come back to camp again!

10 out of 10 would recommend! Ken was wonderful and drove our heavy stuff down the hill to our campsite beside the beautiful waterfall! The sites were spaced nicely with enough vegetation between them that it felt private. The falls are gorgeous and a nice chilly shower if you're brave enough! We were less than 10 minutes to downtown Watkins Glenn and everything you could need or want out of a rustic vacation. The land was beautiful and full of wildlife! We even had a doggie tour guide to walk us to the outhouse and back! I assume he was Ken's dog lol very sweet and playful! If you're looking for a 5 star camping spot, you've found it at waterfall creek!

We stayed here for three days and had the luck to have the whole property to ourselves. Ken was a great host and he has two horses on the property! The waterfall was very beautiful and taking a cold shower with the water was very refreshing. The hill leading to the campsites is quite large, I would suggest a four wheel drive vehicle like Ken recommended. I unfortunately did not read that part but luckily my Ford Transit survived. There's plenty of stores and restaurants around if there's an emergency or you don't want to use the outhouse. Overall a great experience and will be back soon!

2 nights at Waterfall Creek
Wow, what a weekend!
Waterfall Creek is the kind of place that makes you wonder if you stumbled into a dream or just got real damn lucky. The site sits along a stream in a gorge with a thirty-foot waterfall flowing down like some wild cathedral bell—loud, alive, and utterly hypnotic. Just outside Watkins Glen, but you almost don’t need to leave, because once you’re here it feels like your own private paradise. Nobody else stayed the night we were there, which only added to the spell. It was like being transported into a fairytale where even the caterpillars seemed friendly.
We car camped in our rooftop tent, lulled to sleep by the white noise of the falls, but there are two ground campsites perched even closer to the water—majestic spots that look like something ripped out of a storybook. There’s a rustic toilet on site, though we brought our own setup. No potable water, but grocery stores and gas stations are close enough to grab what you need before settling in.
Morning was coffee brewed beside the waterfall, staring at the remnants of glaciers carved into the gorge thousands of years ago. The kind of view that makes you pinch yourself every few minutes, thinking: Is this real? How lucky are we?
We didn’t want to leave. And we won’t stay away for long. This place is a gem—raw, perfect, and unforgettable.
Thank you, Ken, for sharing your beautiful piece of paradise with us.
Already looking forward to next time!

This is a fantastic, scenic, dispersed camping site and our motorcycle camping crew had a fantastic stay here! The nearby day trips to wineries and breweries were all stellar and I will be returning to this campground in the future!
Kudo's to Ken for keeping a very tidy spot!

The campsite was along the Beaver Kill river. The campsite was very well kept. Getting in and out with a 32 foot Super C was easy. The owners and campers were very friendly.
I would love to stay there again!

Great campground! We had a beautiful view of the river. The campsite had everything we needed. We were set up in minutes.
Everyone was very friendly and made you feel right at home. Rulo, the dog, is a great ambassador for the campgrounds!!
