Waterfall Creek

5 sites ¡ 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

The Refuge at Checkered Egg Acres

4 sites ¡ Tents60 acres ¡ Geneva, NY
Our historic cobblestone home is surrounded by a 35-acre farm, which connects to another 25 acres of lush woods. The woods have a convenient path, “paved” with recycled wood chips, and campsite (1) is located here. Our mini donkey, “Quatro” greets most guests as he announces himself and introduces his three sheep friends, all who guard an historic cemetery on site. Nearby is a small pond, with two campsites nearby (2) and (3). One corner of the property features protected (albeit rustic) wetlands, and one tent site is present there (4). We will provide a picnic table and small, covered fire pit on each site, as well as a five-gallon jug of water with a hand pump, for drinking, hand-washing, etc. Unfortunately, we do not have bathrooms on site at this time, but that will hopefully change very soon. Stay tuned! Our property is just a hobby farm, and our driveway is often featuring a project camper, or some other light construction project. Our home is a work in progress so we ask guests to understand that the property nearest our house may not be picturesque from all angles, due to frequent renovations. Rest assured, the farmland and woods will provide all the peace and invigoration you’d ever seek. All areas in the map photo marked with the peach lines are driveable by car, and can be walked, if preferred. We have two friendly Pomeranians, who will be on leash if not inside or in their fenced yard. They will likely greet you with their best and most annoying yaps, but you should not hear them aside from initially meeting them, if you do. Our neighbors are just across the street so we ask that you be respectful of their relative proximity. We live less than three miles from downtown Geneva (although you’re surely in the country here!) and less than four miles from the Finger Lakes Welcome Center, on Seneca Lake. Our region is absolutely brimming with wineries, breweries, restaurants, great shopping and more. For easy family- and pet-friendly hiking, Ontario Pathways (a 26-mile trail along an old railroad bed) is just a short drive away, open year-round, and is free to the public.
