Millport, NY · 6 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
This is a beautiful piece of property located in the heart of the Finger Lakes and Wine Country of NY. It features a stunning spring fed waterfall and nice forest land. Very close to town but also very secluded and private. Great place to unwind and relax from our everyday lives. It is situated however in a gully next to a creek and waterfall so it is susceptible to heavy rains. It is recommended to at least have an AWD vehicle if rainy. I can usually help campers with getting to the site in my side X side if you need to park up at the pasture. Please order enough wood initially as I have found I spend a lot of time delivering extra wood to campers. It seems as if you will typically go through 2 bundles per night on average. Also I supply a contractor size garbage bag to you if you choose garbage removal. It is also a good idea to text me when you have a solid ETA so I can be here to take you to the site. I want to mention that the two sites closest to the waterfall are a slight hike in and can only accommodate up to 4 person tents so if a bigger group or vehicle camping you will be placed at another site. Hope to see you soon.

Waterfall Sanctuary & Quiet Retreat

Middleburgh, NY · 5 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
For generations, the majestic waterfall has been revered for its spectacular beauty. It’s considered a sacred site central to local land rematriation work with the Kanienkeha:ka.
Coursing between two outcroppings in a deep ravine, the waterfall crashes down over mossy rock shelves into emerald swimming holes and through dramatic clay beds. It’s one of those extraordinary spots on earth that make you feel like you’re in another world. The sites aren’t suitable for parties or loud groups.
It's about a 10 minute hike to the waterfall where you can spend the day swimming, exploring the clay beds and looking for fossils in the 280 million year old gorge. In the evening, make a campfire and fall asleep under the stars listening to the river below.
The hike is steep and appropriate footwear is required. All hiking is at your own risk. Although your path to the waterfall is private and the waterfall is on private property, there may be other guests or locals that access the waterfall further down the road. There is no glass or alcohol allowed at the falls.
Be aware that you may hear your camping neighbors in the woods. For this reason, we ask that you don’t play amplified music and keep noise down after 10pm to enjoy the sounds of frogs, crickets, owls, and night songs of the countryside
At the entrance to the campsites there is a barn community room with a charging station, cold water sink, fridge, coffee maker, cookware, and a port-a-potty. There are 5 gallon solar shower bags that you can use at your campsite. You are responsible for filling them and putting them in the sun to heat the water.
This is a leave no trace site. Take all your trash with you when you leave. Bring your own biodegradable soap for dishes and toilet paper for the port-a-potty!
Firewood is available onsite for $1 per log.
The Schoharie Valley is said to be the most fertile valley east of the Mississippi. It is still wild, unspoiled country and there are many local farms stands with fresh produce and organic meat close by.
Within a 5 miles radius is a general store, Scrumpy Ewe Cidery, Panther Creek Arts, Rooted Movement, the Sap Bush Country Store and Café, and Mustang Valley (a wild mustang sanctuary). Nearby hikes include Looking Glass Pond and Vroman's Nose, and others.

Towner's Country Paradise started out as a wild forest and pasture for cows in the 1940's, owned by Llewellyn Towner. In the 1960s, Llewellyn's love for aviation led him to construct a small airstrip and hangar, and then his son Terry began to plant Christmas Trees (no more cows) and clear much of the land. By the early 1970's our main and largest pond was built and since that time our fully functional cabin, several more fish ponds, roads, trails, running water and generated electricity have been added. Christmas Trees are still grown and harvested by Terry's son Scott Towner. Green rolling hills, deep valleys, a waterfall, ponds stocked with fish, a fully functional cabin, herds of deer, flocks of turkey and Canada Geese, & well-maintained roads and trails here in Addison NY. It's so private that even most of the people who live in our small town don't know we're here! CHECK OUR REVIEWS!OPTION to camp/hike in the woods for a more wild experience.

15 minutes from Niagara Falls, Four Mile Creek State Park is the ideal base camp for hikers and waterfall enthusiasts alike. The park sits along the shores of Lake Ontario and offers trails through wooded bluffs for those that like to get their hike on. If you go gaga for furry creatures, visit the marsh at the mouth of the park's namesake creek. You may come across white-tail deer or blue heron. The campground is scattered throughout a grassy field so don’t count on privacy here, but look on the bright side! More visibility equals less worries as your youngsters run wild. If you have a taste for unique structures, book a yurt for you and up to six of your closest amigos. Good news campers, pitch your tent here and with a flash of your camp permit you get free parking at all area state parks.

WELCOME to Pooh's Corner-
Thank you Hipcamp and all of the beautiful people whom we have the pleasure of hosting at Pooh’s Corner! It’s a new year, a new season of camping, and another opportunity to camp with us.
We hope you enjoy Pooh's Corner as much as we enjoy having all of you great Hipcampers sharing our beautiful Fingerlakes Region with us.
Pooh's Corner lies in a rural area just 1.5 miles from Watkins Glen. (3315 County Road 28, Watkins Glen, NY 14891). We took great care to make sure each campsite is PRIVATE (parking on-site*) and the trails are easily navigable. Our 'Welcome Shed' is equipped with a compost toilet, local information, (newly added) Hot Water Station, first-aid kit, charging station, bug spray etc. and is located in a safe, well lit, open area on the property. Each site is equipped with a fire pit and comfortable seating with tables, chairs, and/or picnic tables and tripod grills. Firewood is available on a donation basis.
There are State Parks and places to hike one of the many gorges around beautiful Seneca Lake and surrounding area. Take a tour of the many wineries and breweries which our region is famous for. Enjoy hiking, swimming, biking, kayaking, and many historical sites to see. Our reviews tell it all. We know you'll love it here :)
*PLEASE NOTE: Our sites are custom made for TENT or CAR camping. Because we have "parking on-site", Large RVs, Campers (over 16'), and any 5th-wheel campers are very difficult to place since there are no easy ways to back in or turn around. We highly recommend "Havana Glen State Park" (same general area) for those types of camping units.

Sharon’s doggie camp is truly a hidden gem. I’ve camped at a lot of hip camps in the past, and Sharon’s is my favorite. Her land checks every box I’m looking for when camping. My dogs love it so much they get excited even as we’re pulling in her driveway!
The property has a stunning and clean pond (for fishing, swimming, paddle boarding, etc). You can also view the sun setting overlooking rolling hills right above the pond. There’s additional fields of rolling hills and forests with a bunch of trails to walk/hike your dogs! And can we talk about the night time? You have a panoramic view of the sky where you can see the stars and Milky Way! The fields even light up at night from the lightning bugs. It’s magical!
It also comes with amenities such as WiFi, the cleanest porta potty I’ve ever used, and a charging station for your electronics.
It’s truly the most peaceful place to decompress and refresh yourself from the hustle and bustle of daily life. I’ve never once had a poor experience. Only lots of memories.

Wildflower cabin was the most beautiful setting for a peaceful romantic summer weekend. The cabin was spotless, well maintained and welcoming. The bed was super comfy and especially loved the mosquito net even though bugs were never an issue. The trail to the waterfall was exhilarating and well worth the effort to experience the most beautiful falls and swimming hole. This was an unforgettable experience and we will definitely be returning.

Weekend Trip to Orchard and Gorge At South Hill
This was an amazing spot for a long weekend, me and my boyfriend had a great time, the bed was comfy, the site came with some firewood, but we did end up having a buy way more for the weekend. The chairs and tent and picnic table set up were great and the view was perfect. We didn’t have too many issues with bugs in our tent for the most part, and we barely had to wear bug spray (but this could be different depending on the time of year your camping) . Had tons of deer run through the fields and campsite around us, and the distance between our tent and our neighbors was close, but not too close! The only issue we ran into was that we had to buy a few big jugs of water and refill them at the state parks whenever we could because there’s no running water. Wouldn’t reccomend staying here if your planning anything longer than 3-4 days unless your okay not showering for a while. Overall this was an amazing experience I couldn’t recommend this spot more!!!

Absolutely amazing!
Matt and Sheryl were so communicative and welcoming right from booking the site, all the way to staying in touch prior to our arrival. They were there to show us to our site and where to find/how to use their wonderful amenities. The hot water is a game changer that we can’t wait to use on longer trips in the future! They were so informative about what to do in the area with our dog, and we were so glad that we took their advice.
The sites are all so spacious and feel very private. We loved the set up of The Rabbit Hole and felt like it was the perfect balance of size and cozy. The grounds are very well kept and decorated perfectly with lighting. We especially loved the wild flowers lining the sites and pathways; they add such a cheerful touch.
We can’t wait to come back to explore the area more and we will make Poohs Corner our regular spot 🙂

The farm is full of fun and life—pigs, sheep, chickens, geese, a 29-year old donkey named Windy... The perfect place for people who want to be around animals!
We brought extra veggies (carrots, celery, broccoli, etc) so feed the animals, which they loved. Visiting in the spring + early summer also means lots of little goats and lambs, which is a bonus. We will definitely be back!

Had an absolutely outstanding time here. Everything was as advertised - peaceful, quiet, relaxing. The property is ideally located for exploring the regions many many natural attractions, and also a short ride from town for any needs you may have. Ken is the real deal, and the property is beautiful. The campsites are well spaced and feature comfortable chairs, fire ring, and picnic table. The waterfall is legit beautiful too, it's not some tiny cascade, it's a full blown 30 foot+ falls with several tiers above the main drop, all on the property! In these type of reviews I try to come up with at least one point where I can offer a constructive criticism. But I really can't think of anything the host could do better, if anything I'm reluctant to leave this review because I want to return in the future and have the same amazing experience!

The spot is beyond beautiful; Site 2 was a perfect layout. It has open field space for parking, cooking, putting up the dog line, and laying out. It had a huge, gorgeous trees for shade to pitch a tent under, and a beautiful little creek that ran by the entire site. Just a 5 minute walk down the path led to a lookout pavilion and creek that turned into a wading pool area.
Beyond the site itself, the hosts were wonderfully king and helpful. I’m already sad to be back home and can’t wait to book again in the future.

Weekend Trip to Waterfall Sanctuary & Quiet Retreat
This was the perfect spot for our “down the road from home” getaway night! Listing descriptions of the cabin, amenities, and directions were clear and accurate. The cabin and campsite area were serenely simple, private, and comfortable making it easy to relax into “just being.” The most special part of this place is the access to the waterfall— as the listing makes clear, it’s definitely a steep deer trail that requires care on the part of the camper to hike down & back safely. As a Schoharie County local, the waterfall on the property is such a gem that we were so happy to have access to and to see taken care of well. Our only suggestion would be to remove the big rock wedged between trees in the middle of the trail headed down to the cabin for safety. Oh! And maybe a logbook for campers to sign. :) Thank you for having us & we hope to return soon! ~Mya & Jake
