Ithaca, NY · 7 sites · Tents, RVs
My property is about 70 acres of wildflower meadows, ponds, organic grain farm and forest located about 10 minutes northwest of Ithaca and 20 min from Finger Lakes wine trails. Enjoy walking along the dirt road and mown trails throughout the property, wild raspberry and blackberry picking, bird and wildlife watching and some incredible sunsets! The campsites are located well off the main road for privacy and seclusion. A convenience store and gas station are located about a mile down the road. This is a peaceful and beautiful place to stay.

Karenville is an adventure. It’s a tiny whimsical village with a Victorian influence. I built it one building at a time just for fun. I have been living here in Karenville for over 20 years totally electric free. Yes that’s right there is no electric or running water. No worries it’s all very civilized.

This RV site can fit up to a 28’ vehicle (longer up to 32' can work, but corner backing in is a little tight; contact to discuss before booking). Site is next to stream, bounded on opposite side by local road (so there is local traffic through the trees). There's a 30 amp electric hookup on site, but no sewer hookup. Water can be filled on property if needed. Location is just five minutes to Lower Treman Park or Buttermilk Park, with amazing hiking trails, seasonal stream fishing and swimming.

Tegan's place is remote but also near lots to do. We enjoyed the quietness of the area with only the sound of coyotes in the distance. On a cloudless night the stargazing is great. Getting our trailer up the somewhat steep driveway and finding a levelish area was a challenge but we managed.

Ivan had a great little spot for an RV/travel trailer. It’s relatively flat, enough space to comfortably set up and he offers water and electric access. It’s a super short drive to Ithaca. Plus, he’s a really great guy and I enjoyed chatting with him.

Beautiful mowed meadow. Peaceful. Private. But if you have a dog in October, there are hundreds of tiny ticks. Luckily our dog is white so I could see them moving. Otherwise it was great.

My boyfriend and I recently converted a shuttle bus into our home on wheels. This was our maiden voyage and it could not have gone any better. Z’s land was the perfect first step for our trip. Easy to find, peaceful, and close by the state parks which was a plus. We stayed here for 2 nights as we explored the area. Wifi was great. Very convenient to have electrical and water hook up. Level spot too. Z was super responsive and an excellent host. We greatly enjoyed our stay. Thank you Z!

Loved the secludedness of this place. Campsites very spread out. Plenty of groomed trails to walk and a short drive to many other parks and waterfalls. Compost outhouse did not smell. Plenty of firewood available onsite for a good price (pay with cash or PayPal). FYI no cell signal for T-Mobile customers).

Fantastic place to camp! Host was super nice and responsive! The only thing I would warn other campers of is the sign to the road is just a small yard sign and the road is really rough to drive on. Lower to the ground cars will have a hard time. I will absolutely be going back next year!

Well thought out and manicured sites! I enjoyed my cozy stay under the Pines. The other sites looked pretty much in the open. This site was past a couple of the other sites that are nearer to the toilet so I just used my own camp toilet rather than walking "all that way".
I loved that there was a picnic table and nice fire ring. The trails were also nice to explore.
Only a 10 minute drive to the beautiful Robert Treman State Park.
When I went to bed I did put in ear plugs as you do hear a fast road in the distance where the sound only seems to amplify when it gets dark. I didn't really notice it as much during the day time.
I'd definately stay here again but check out a different site, next time; for variety.

The Green Heron is an excellent place to camp! We camped In the Pines, which was very comfortable. The kids loved walking the pathways around the campsite. We had enough room for a 6-person tent and a 3-person tent. We had to walk by the Upper Meadow and Lower Meadow campsites to get to the composting toilet, though this was not an issue for us, and we couldn't see other campsites from our campsite. The outhouse was clean and did not smell. There is a steep, though short, hill to drive down to the In the Pines site. I could see how it might be slippery if the ground was wet, but the ground was dry when we drove it and our minivan managed to make it up the hill. Overall the site is very peaceful!

Great spot to camp! Secluded for privacy so you feel like you’re in nature by yourself and the overall set up is well made. Highly recommend if you want to feel almost like you’re primitive camping

I’ve stayed at a handful of Hipcamps. And this place is the best well maintained one I’ve ever been too. The road to get to all the sites was completely compacted packed down! I was in awe how easy it was to find my spot. I get lost and confused, very easily and this was so simple to find my spot. Which was amazing and so secluded. Also the site was perfectly leveled and big! Plus in the perfect location if you’re chasing waterfalls in the area! There was so much greenbelt in between the other sites as well.
It wasn’t the best weather when I stayed, but looked like there was quite a few walking trails on the property. Craig was so fast with communication. And very accommodating with my schedule (that got pushed back), which I’m extremely grateful for!

We stayed at Zbarn for three nights while we explored the wineries and nearby parks. It was perfect for a self-contained camper van, as it had electric and great internet. A 25 foot 30A cord with adapters for a surge suppressor will reach if you park close enough, but he also provides a 15A extension cord. There is a mowed strip of utility right-of way in back for walking the dog off-leash.
If you want to dump your holding tank and get a hot shower (or a hike and a swim), a day pass at Watkins Glen SP is $10.
Insider tip if you are there to re-stock wine: go to Northside Wine in Ithaca for advice on wineries to try. They know their stuff and confirmed some of our favorites and ‘meh’ places to skip. There are 150 wineries in the region, and they know them well.

Best campsite we’ve found—hands down.
We originally booked the Secluded Spruces site at Craig’s Green Heron property, and it was great—private, peaceful, and well-maintained. But while exploring the land, we came across the In the Pines site… and wow. Instantly knew we had to ask if we could switch.
Craig was incredibly kind and flexible—he let us move since no one else had it booked. Even if we had stayed at Secluded Spruces, we would’ve had a great time. But In the Pines truly felt like a hidden gem. Tons of shade, total privacy, and trees perfectly spaced for hammocks. It felt like our own little forest retreat.
The location is also fantastic. Just a short drive to some amazing hikes (Lucifer Falls is a must), and close to Ithaca for great food, shops, and everything else you could want for a perfect trip.
This was easily one of the best campsites we’ve found anywhere in the U.S.—a perfect balance of nature, comfort, and location. We’ll definitely be back.
12 out of 10. Highly recommend.

The best dog-friendly RV sites in Finger Lakes guide
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.
