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.

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.

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.

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.

My son and I are getting into hammock camping and this place exceeded expectations by miles. The location is stunning, the site is incredibly private and Emory was a wonderful host. We bought some farm fresh veggies and meat from him and cooked some delicious meals with them. The highlight of our trip was when we "borrowed" one of his alpacas and hung out with it at the site. Can't wait to return!

Bailee was an exceptional host. She messaged us to make sure everything was going smoothly during our stay and see if we needed anything. Loved the versatility of this property to be utilized for groups but it was just us and our dogs this trip. Great remote location without being to far away from lake activity and small town exploring. Nicely landscaped firepit with plenty of room for games/activities. One thing to note is the creek is not directly accessible from the campsites due to a steep drop off. There were paths throughout the woods that led to other entry points, however they were not visible from the main area. I would have liked if they had cut the grass prior to our stay, but that's the only (negative) thing I could say regarding this property. They are doing an outstanding job.

This hip-camp had so many wonderful surprises! The host was just lovely he took us on a tour of his land, we got to meet his cows, goats and his horse! Our camp area was just gorgeous, it was up on a hill so great landscape views, flat ground for our tent set up, a table was there, a fire pit, a clean private bathroom is a few minute walk, or quick drive away. At night we were able to do some real stargazing, shooting stars, a meteor shower it was incredible. During the day we went to Chimney Bluffs state park, we found a Beautiful place to swim in lake ontario, we went to a few antique shops, then hit up a concert at paper mill island 35 minutes away. As two people who also host our own hip-camp and an Airbnb this was a perfect getaway for us and we will be back!

We drove 300 miles to Dawn's Yost Ridge for a 4 night stay. Part way into the 3rd day we enjoyed it so much that we extended our stay for another day! We chose Yost Ridge due to the proximity of 2 of the larger Finger Lakes. Beautiful camp site! The site isn't far off the road but the amount of traffic consists of horse and buggies and a few water tankers for the farms. Hours pass before you hear a car. There are neighbors on each side but both are quiet. The one has a dog who will come out to say hello and then goes back inside. The goats and rooster added a nice country touch. The firepit sits away from the camper spot which makes it nice. Well water is clean and electrical hook up is up to par. Already looking forward to a visit next year! Thanks Dawn!
