3 nights at Camp Earth Connection

Great value for a get away in nature. I love how they compost too

Weekend Trip to Waterfall Creek

I absolutely recommend camping here! It is a gorgeous slice of land, healthy and well tended to. We camped through 3 rainy days of May, but it didn't dampen our spirits! Plenty of level and well drained areas to choose to put our tent. The spring wildflowers and ephemerals were abundant, and the waterfall is spectacular! Happy to report that my little Ford Fiesta was able to descend and climb the hill in the gravel drive too! Ken is quick and easy to communicate with. Thanks!

2 nights at Minglewood Camp

One of our favorite camping spots. Love the outdoor kitchen, which provides a great hangout spot when it's raining. The quiet surroundings mean a great night's sleep. Will definitely stay here again.

2 nights at Whitetail Ridge Farm

We had a good experience camping here. The hosts gave us clear directions. The stargazing was amazing. There was some farm work being done in the morning to help kick us into gear and start the day. It's a meadow on top of a hill, so we caught a LOT of wind. Definitely advised to use your stakes and guylines. It's a gorgeous site and the hosts are very kind.

Weekend Trip to Waterfall Creek

Everything is just as described! Sitting by the waterfall was so nice and therapeutic. Very friendly host! All in all awesome camping spot.

Weekend Trip to Camp Earth Connection

I loved the tiny cabin. The proximity to the state forest near by was a treat. The fire pit and small deck allows for peaceful nights and a great bbq.

Weekend Trip to Rustic Art Studio Cottage

Perfect stay for an overnight in Ithaca! Cabin was clean and comfortable, the property was great as well. Wylie was friendly and accommodating. Definitely recommend!

3 nights at Waterfall Creek

We had the best weekend camping, exploring Ken’s land, as well as the many wonderful natural wonders of Watkin’s Glen. Full disclosure, we were the only campers at this location on our visit, so we got to explore freely and enjoyed the creek and waterfall without worrying about entering other campers’ spaces. This made the visit seem extra magical & special. Ken was an amazing host and helped us feel comfortable setting up and acclimating to the site. He was always available to help throughout our visit. Our campsite was clean and nestled right next to a gorgeous flowing creek coming right from a waterfall! We fell asleep each night listening to the calm sounds of the waterfall. We can’t wait to go back this summer!

3 nights at Waterfall Creek

Can't recommend this spot enough. Beautiful waterfall, super quiet and peaceful. It's super close to Watkins glen but it feels like it's hundreds of miles away from civilization when you're there. Ken is super professional too! Very attentive and available but gave us plenty of space to hang out amongst ourselves. I can't wait to come back.

Weekend Trip to Waterfall Creek

We absoultey loved camping at Ken's property. The grounds are excelent and the waterfalls and creek are majestic! The campground is right near the center of town so nothing is ever too far away. Ken is a great host. Hands off but available to answer all of your questions and ready to help with whatever problems you may have. This place is defintely a 10 out of 10!

Weekend Trip to Sunswick Farm

This was our fifth stay at this cozy cabin. It was snowy, beautiful, peaceful, and relaxing. The creek was flowing and all of nature‘s beauty was glistening. If you need to unwind, relax and escape, then this is the place to be! Don’t forget to buy some honey from the owners. We stocked up with 14 more jars because it is just that delicious! Can’t wait to come back!

4 nights at Waterfall Creek

Thank You Ken! This was our 2nd Halloween week camp in 2 years at your spectacular HipCamp. We were again spellbound by the setting and your hospitality. We need to do a Spring camp here to see how it looks re-emerging from winter. Sincerely, Jim

Waterfall Creek

8 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents40 acres · Millport, NY

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. Ken

Underhill Forest and Farm

6 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents36 acres · Dryden, NY

Underhill Inn is a small homestead located in the Finger Lakes region tucked in the rolling hills near Dryden Lake. We have a small garden, a flock of sheep and chickens, hives of honeybees and countless wild foraging on our 36 acres of pasture and hiking trails. Take a walk down to Brockendock pond and cruise across the water in a canoe or paddleboat to find peepers, heron, toads and turtles. Drop a line in the water to catch trout, bass and sunnies. The chicken coop is always bustling and there are plenty of eggs to harvest each day. A morning hike on the trails usually kicks up the deer and wild turkeys and at night the barn owl will sing for you if you listen close. Adults and children are welcome to pet and feed the animals on the farm. There are farm tours available where you can learn more about our mushroom garden, composting techniques, blueberries, felting, and more.

Minglewood Camp

2 sites · Lodging90 acres · Trumansburg, NY

Minglewood Camp is a place we built so people could escape from the hustle of our busy lives and find some peace in nature. The cabin was built with respect for the environment. We constructed it with locally harvested and milled lumber and approached the build with minimal impact on the surrounding forest. the cabin is off grid and uses a small solar panel to charges a battery for the water heater and a light while utilizing rain water for the shower and sink. The bathroom functions with a composting toilet. The property is situated beside a creek and 90 acres of hardwood forest which campers are welcome to explore. the cabin is hidden about 3/4 of a mile off the road behind a small mobile home park and is completely secluded and campers will have total privacy.

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.

Rustic Art Studio Cottage

1 site · Lodging1 acre · Ithaca, NY

Learn more about this land: A step up from glamping, the "Shack" is a rustic, bohemian 2-story cabin/ art studio on a property that was formerly a train station. The property has 3 cottages on it and is situated across the street from Cayuga Lake in a secret wild garden, but is a 6 minute drive to downtown Ithaca Commons. This cottage is not for everyone. It is a cheap option in a cute, very bare bones cottage. It is best suited for low maintenance, easy travelers who are looking for an inexpensive place to crash after a long day of exploring. Guests who stay in the Shack share the bathroom in the main house with me - the bathroom has a separate entrance from the one I use in the main house. The cabin consists of 2 rooms - the upstairs has a double sized futon and a single futon mattress that can be used for guests, and the downstairs has a sleeper couch as well as a futon mattress that can be set up for extra guests. If you book the second room, it's an extra $30 per night. Note that the top room is accesses via a ladder. Definitely not everyone's cup of tea, but for the right fit it is the perfect home base to explore Ithaca's many spenders, ideally located across the street from Stewart Park and the trailhead to the Cayuga Waterfront Trail. and a short walk to the Stewart Park/downtown bus line and the East Shore swimming beach. Note, there is a cat who lives on the property and he sometimes comes to visit this studio. I see guests inviting him in occasionally to visit. If you're allergic, this isn't a good option for you.

Cabins in Finger Lakes with fishing guide

Overview

With 11 lakes, 25 state parks, three wine trails, and more than a dozen golf courses, it's easy to see why the Finger Lakes is one of the most popular vacation spots in New York state. Camping options abound around the lakeside, whether you prefer a family campground with full hookups, a rustic cabin in the woods, or a cozy glampsite. Summer is peak season, and the best time for swimming, wine tasting, and water sports, while leaf-peepers flock to the Finger Lakes state parks in fall. Winter camping can be fun, too, with skiing, ice skating, and sledding all on the activity menu.

Where to go

Seneca Lake

The largest of the Finger Lakes has forest hiking trails, patchwork vineyards, and farm-to-table dining experiences right at its fingertips. Once you've gone wine hopping along the largest of the Finger Lakes wine trails, marveled at the waterfalls in Watkins Glen State Park, and enjoyed boating around Sampson State Park, check into a state park campground or book an RV park around Seneca Falls or Geneva.

Cayuga Lake

An 87-mile scenic byway loops around Cayuga Lake, affording panoramic views over the lake and the surrounding wine country. At the southern tip, Ithaca is the gateway to Buttermilk Falls State Park and Taughannock Falls State Park, while the nearby Finger Lakes National Forest is the ideal spot for a backcountry camping experience—dispersed camping is permitted throughout.

Western Lakes

West of Seneca Lake, there are plenty of ways to get on the water at Keuka, Canandaigua, and Honeoye lakes. Camp amid the vineyards at Keuka Lake State Park, check into an RV resort at Naples or Hammondsport, or escape the crowds at the Honeoye Lake boat launch. Further west, Letchworth State Park is home to the "Grand Canyon of the East," where its waterfalls and forests are most magnificent during fall foliage season.

Eastern Lakes

Syracuse is the entry point to Finger Lakes' eastern corner, where you'll find Owasco, Skaneateles, and Otisco lakes. Swimming and water skiing are popular pastimes at Owasco Lake, and there's a great campground and swimming pool at Fillmore Glen State Park. If you’re seeking peace and quiet, neighboring Skaneateles is a tranquil spot for boating.
