There are several campsites as well as a cozy bed in a cabin that you can stay in. The property used to be an orchard, until most was sold and converted to housing developments. My one acre and a few old cherry trees remains. Both the camping areas and the cabin are in sight of my house. But, there are plenty of areas to choose from. I can supply a fire ring and logs to burn if you are interested. Dogs allowed, as long as they get along with and don’t chase other animals. You must be animal friendly! I have a dog, two indoor/outdoor cats, and chickens.

Urban Off-Grid Campsite A rustic retreat with urban convenience. Escape to a unique outdoor getaway without driving far into the countryside. Situated on nearly two acres within city limits—including an acre of private woods to explore—this site offers a quiet, off-grid refuge with an open view of the night sky, far from intrusive streetlights. Site Features & Amenities * Gathering Area: Equipped with a central fire pit, surrounding seating, and outdoor tables for dining or relaxing. * Rustic & Off-Grid: Designed for traditional camping—please note there are no utility hookups, electricity, or running water on-site. * Parking & Convenience: Located adjacent to a local church parking lot for straightforward access. Location & Setting Expectations To ensure this property is the right fit for your stay, please keep the following in mind: * Urban-Adjacent Location: While the setting feels private and quiet with no immediate neighbors, the site is located within city limits rather than deep wilderness. * Ambient Sound: Due to proximity to local rail lines, passing train sounds may be audible overnight. If you are seeking a completely silent, deep-wilderness camping experience, this site may not be the ideal match. However, for guests looking to unplug while staying close to town, it offers the perfect balance.

My husband and I bought our camp property when our children were young, and our kids grew up there. Between frog-catching contests, paddle boats, picnics, dirt biking, bonfires, camp outs, and the occasional wedding it was our special getaway. Now that the kids are growing up and going out on adventures of their own, we decided it's time we share our little piece of heaven with others, and so here we are, meeting new people from all over the world, making new connections, and enjoying the opportunity to share this beautiful woodland and pond property that we've been blessed with. We'd love for YOU to come enjoy a stay at this whimsical, delightful, sacred place.

A lovely, 3 acre plot of secluded land surrounded by cute ponds and decorated with sculptures. A small campfire spot, wood stove in the trailer and a composting toilet. Want to unplug and get away from the busy life? Most mobile phones do not work here! We have only minimal solar electricity, and there is a propane stove as well! Two double beds, one single, and a couple of nice cots. Tent Sites abound! We bought this property about four years ago. It was trashed by the previous owner and had an old dilapidated trailer in the middle of it. We cleaned and cleaned, then we ripped out the bad parts of the trailer and rebuilt the insides, placed a huge metal roof over the whole thing and put in a composting outhouse. There's no running water, and phones don't get reception, so you can truly unplug and decompress in this lovely, quiet piece of land which is close to a ton of hiking / forest land and just down the road from Cummings Nature Center, a great place for family exploration and learning.

Here on 5 acres of property, there's room for 5-7 tents and 2-3 campers. There's electricity to charge up your phone and a very clean outhouse. Enjoy a ton of berry bushes waiting to get picked and a small pond with a sitting area. Enjoy the fire pit. Just minutes from the lakes. DRIVING DIRECTIONS: When you turn onto Ace Rd, the camp is the 3rd driveway down on the right. If you hit the dead end - you've gone way too far. Please look for the white sign that has #9520 on it (like the picture). PLEASE NOTE: If you need electricity to your camper or trailer, you can use whatever extension chords you see on-site, but I recommend you bring your own long one. Sometimes our campers walk away with ours and we can't guarantee there will be one there when you arrive.

Private campground with 3 full hookup sites (book each separately, see below) on 10 acres of wooded property with winding Sugar Creek running through. Everything the Finger Lakes has to offer is close by! Wineries, breweries, hiking, fishing, boating, antiquing, shopping, historic sites, and charming small towns are just some of the little adventures you can experience. Keuka Lake State Park is only 4 miles away and we're in close proximity to the village of Penn Yan where you'll find any provisions you may need. Time slows down as you relax and experience what we like to call 'Camp Time'. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!The sites are grouped together so that you can do just that - go with a group! Also a great site to go solo. If you rent a site, the entire property is yours for that time frame. We would not rent to multiple unassociated groups during the same reservation time.**Of note, you will need a 50 amp plug to hook into our electricity**We're just beginning on our HipCamp journey. We're happy to work with you while we learn the ropes!
