We enjoyed our site at junius ponds. It was further back in a more private wooded area. Easy access to the restrooms and showers. Both were very clean while we were there. Very friendly staff called to confirm when we booked a second night.
They have a store and soft serve ice cream on site.
Makes camping easy!

Incredibly friendly host - was greeted and oriented to the location, lots of space to find a place. Close to town as well as other more local food/etc. options in the area. Had to leave quickly after one evening, will look to stay here again in the future - beautiful area of the United States.

This was a perfect place to camp outside of Ithaca! Krys is incredibly welcoming and made staying so easy. The bonfire site is large, and has lots of shaded areas for you to set up in. She has chairs and tables that you can move to your campsite, and there is plenty of firewood! There were almost no mosquitoes which was a pleasant surprise!
We liked exploring the paths through her property, and felt comfortable letting our 7 year old wander on his own. We would absolutely go back to stay here.

Well maintained large campground with lots of seasonal units. As an overnighter, we were placed in the very back of the campground. It was beautiful and quiet. Lots of weekend activities going on with soft serve ice cream available in the camp store. 😋
Our WE site was only big enough for our 25’ motorhome which was fine.
Bathrooms were a little walk away but immaculate.

Krys has many options for campers, we chose the side of the lane which was level and perfect for our campervan. She has a bathroom and shower available, as well as electric hook up at certain spots. She was very welcoming and suggested ideas for our bike ride and gave local restaurant info to us as well. It was very quiet and private. We will look to come back if we are in the area again!

Krys has a little slice of heaven- the property is beautiful and quiet! I went on a discovery walk one morning to view the wild flowers and flowering plants around the homestead. Lightning bugs fill the sky at night.
Krys is very accommodating and helpful! She helped us with a late-night power issue, gave us great recommendations for area attractions and allowed us to use the house bathroom and shower!
Thank you Krys! We're looking forward to staying again!
