Great place! Really well-maintained and clean, it's clear that Alicia takes a lot of pride in this property. Very close to the road, but very little traffic so it feels private. As someone who exclusively boondocks, having the 30 amp service was a real luxury! No joke about the lack of Verizon service though - make sure you pay for the Wi-Fi box unless you have T-Mobile or AT&T. Looking forward to coming back.

We brought our motor home and the pad was perfectly sized for even a large trailer. It was quiet and tranquil. There were plenty of fish to catch in the lake and Alicia’s selection of boats will fit any experience level.

A perfectly pleasant stay! Kate was very responsive and even gave us a suggestion of a good place to eat. Tabora’s was yummy! We chose the spot on the property closest to the lake so we could have the view. It was level, super quiet and peaceful. We even had two whitetail deer run past our rig one afternoon. At night we could hear cars at the Watkins Glen racetrack in the distance, which was super cool. Only about 10 minutes from the town of Watkins Glen, it was super convenient. During part of our stay, the local police department used the property to train its K-9 division, which was intriguing to watch. (It would have been nice to have been notified that this was a training rather than a man hunt, though. We were a bit nervous until we figured it out.) :) Overall, it was a great stay and we would definitely recommend!

A very nice camp site (#2). This is located down a rural road that is a little rough. The area was quiet. Nathan stopped in after we got set up and talked to us about some local attractions, which, unfortunately, we were not able to visit. There definitely will be a next time. Very easy access to the site with large gravel drives and pads.

We had a great time staying at Little Spring Haven. Nate was an excellent host and made sure we had everything we needed as well as giving us recommendations for things to do and places to visit. The site was quiet and peaceful. Just what we needed to close out our final camping trip of the season. We plan to come back next year!

This was a great spot!! Nathan and his family were so wonderful. Google sent us to the wrong spot and Nathan was very quick to answer the phone and direct us to the campsite. A wonderful spot on a quiet road that goes right to the lake. Very level site with electric hookups, picnic table and fire pit. Pitcher pump on the property was a bonus. We had the full moon the night we were there and it was amazing. Unfortunately, we were only there for one night and we had a problem with our dogs so we didn't get to explore as much as we would have liked. We will definitely be back.

This single camp stands out from so many others. We are used to backpacking and now have a little camper that we wanted to spend some time in. We are not the RV parking lots kind of folks! We were looking for something more private and that had options for time together, and this was perfect. Not completely secluded but we had our space to be out and enjoy. We opted for the WiFi option since it’s currently a dead zone for Verizon. We enjoyed a trip out on the canoe and got to see the whole pond and surrounding area. We also saw a great blue heron and belted kingfisher several times. Truly a relaxing and beautiful spot ! We’ll definitely be back! This is a favorite for us. And just to note for those who want to camp with friends or family that aren’t so campy, the owner’s also have a gorgeous cabin across the road to rent. Terrific find!

Amazing peace and serenity!
Located on a lake access road with very few lake homes made for very little traffic. Far enough from city lights made for awesome star gazing. No hunting down firewood. Nathan has wood available with easy access and super fair price.
Perfect location for us, as it is easy access to many wineries, and a few distilleries and craft breweries. Short drive to Walkins Glen for great scenic hiking with waterfalls in a nice town. Road bikes and enjoyed the challenging rolling hills.
Peaceful with only two very large sites, both immaculately maintained, with nothing else near them. Cute little creek and a large open field behind the site.
We always appreciate sites with level pads, and the pads are nice and wide for for our 35 ft 5th wheel. Always a bonus, as many private campgrounds struggle, but the electric hook up is well done and checked out perfect with my tester.
We had no issues camp not having water or dump station. Coming from the North, we utilized a free station at an RV dealership nearby.
Amazing spot to get away from society, yet still be able to do things life offers!

Amazing campsite by a peaceful pond with beautiful view. The site was spotless and even had an electric outlet, which made running our portable fridge super convenient. It was quiet, relaxing, and we loved spotting the local wildlife. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a serene camping experience.

Really cool campsite. High end amenities like Adirondack chairs and 2 different types of swings. There is a dock with a slide and diving board and a whole bunch of cool add ons. We rented the rowboat and I took my dogs out on the lake which was super fun. The site was private with just a small country road running behind the property with minimal local traffic. Great for families with kids that love swimming!!

Great views, end spot…..the dogs loved every second as did my wife and I.
Had both 50 and 30 amp services which is very convenient. The host Alicia,
greeted us and was prompt at replying to messages and answering questions. WiFi hot spot worked well. All amenities were perfect, will visit again with the grand kids 👍

This is by far our favorite hipcamp we’ve stayed at! The lake and campsite are so GORGEOUS and peaceful, the location is 20/10. Everything is set up so you can just pull in and enjoy. Alicia was great to communicate with and as a host. We will definitely be back and will recommend to our fellow campers!

We had a wonderful stay at this peaceful and scenic spot. The directions were clear, and access to the site was easy. Our 36’ camper was a snug fit on the pad, but it worked just fine. One of the highlights was spotting bald eagles and other waterfowl nearby—such a treat! The host came by in the evening to check in and was incredibly friendly and accommodating. There is an Airbnb cabin across the road behind the site, but it still felt private and spacious. We’d definitely stay here again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a serene, nature-filled getaway!

Host was very kind and available, helpful. Was disappointed in the extremely steep and windy hill to access the dock. I was not comfortable walking or taking a vehicle down.

My wife and I loved the spot we ended up requesting an extra night. The area was so peaceful and the lake nearby is beautiful with an amazing sunset would definitely recommend. Will say if you’re in a 42’ 5th wheel like us it is a little tight but if you’re a seasoned driver should be no problem.

Adorable sites nicely manicured! Firepit, picnic table, and power hookups. No water hookup but there is a watcher pitcher and a dumpster on site. Lovely stay and would stay again.
