Our full hook-up camp is in the middle of a small Amish community near the Finger Lakes. Amish buggies pass by occasionally especially on the Sunday where they meet at a neighbors for church fellowship. Our Amish are very friendly and will wave to let you know. There are Amish shops and baked good stands throughout the countryside that are fun to visit. A map of the shops is available to help you. Their shops are not open on Sunday however. The camp is close to the road where it is an easy in and out. We have full hookups...electric, water, and sewer (I have an extra 10 sewer hose if you need it). We are close to Stony Brook State Park, Conesus Lake, Deer Run Winery, Letchworth State Park, Livingston County Murals, Harriet Hollister Spencer State Park (overlook!), and Geneseo State College.

Many different birds, osprey, bald eagle migratory birds etc. The campsite is situated privately on a working farm that has been in the family for 220 years. Me and my two young kids and grandmother live at the farm . We raise pastured angus beef, grain, hay and vegetables. Campers are welcome to walk the trails around the fields and woods and visit the animals. We can also provide campers with fresh beef and sometimes eggs.Learn more about this land: Enjoy peace, nature, and agriculture while overlooking your own private lake. 500 contiguous acres to explore on this working farm that has been in the family since 1797. We are a small family farm that has a hidden lake and 100 year old orchard at which camping provides privacy and freedom while still being a short walk or drive to amenities. Someone will always be at the main house about 3/4 of a mile away for any of your needs. Most of the time cars or r.v.s can manage the gravel and dirt road back to the campsite, assistance or a truck will be provided if a large rain storm might occur during your stay. We are just a mile north of Seneca lake providing easy access to Geneva and the many wine trails. this is basic camping area with no hookups but an electric generator is available. There is a dock, fishing, picnic table and deck, and fire pit, you will have the entire area to yourself and can set up camp whenever you would like. There are many areas to spread out individual campsites for large groups if desired. we have added a large porta potty.

Randy and Bob’s spot is absolutely perfect! The views all around are spectacular, it is close to many great state park hikes, and so very peaceful… i don’t think I’ve ever been in a quieter location when camping. We shared some good stories with Randy and Bob around a campfire; they are both so very friendly and just joyful to be around. So grateful for their hospitality and without a doubt worried stay here again!!

Awesome in all ways. Randy is a great hostess and we enjoyed engaging with her. She even took us on a ride in her Model T! The campsite is very level and, of course full hookups! You will need about 40’ of sewer hose (Randy has a 10’ loaner), and maybe 30’ fresh water hose and power cord. Dansville is just 4 miles away for anything you might need. We went to Lechworth State Park and Watkins Glenn, but my favorite was Stony Brook State Park just on the other side of Dansille. And we did see quite a lot of Amish in their buggies. Just a great stay overall and a great base for exploring the finger lakes.

Our “Buggy Watch” hosts could not have been more accommodating! Helped us with trailer placement and even offered and provided a needed water hose. The location is quiet and private while still providing easy access to all area sites. An absolutely wonderful experience!

We stopped here for the night on our way home. The property was so beautiful and quiet and Randy was very attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The hookups were on the opposite side, which was a little challenging but we got it figured out.

I really enjoyed my time here. The buggies are so fun to see passing by. The view from the site is beautiful. Randy is a very nice host and very helpful with giving us information about the area. I needed specific services while I was there and she helped me find when I needed in the area. I would definitely stay here again if I pass through this way.

This is exactly as pictured/described. Incredible privacy. Lots of amenities. Chairs, tables, paddle boat, life jackets, even a fishing pole. Well maintained site. The lake is great. We were camping with dogs who usually roam free and it was especially nice they could do that here. Felt very secure. The site is at the end of a long drive and enough activity and people at that end that we felt safe leaving our gear out. Glad we had off road tires and four wheel drive but there was a monsoon the week we were camping. Lots to do in area. 40 minutes to Watkins glen. 40 to Lake Ontario. Met host on arrival. Super helpful. Very responsive. We will for sure book again.

On a quiet country road overlooking a valley with mountains in the background. We saw and heard a number of Amish buggies go past and saw several Amish farms, houses and even schools when driving around. Close enough to Letchworth State Park and Morris Dam. Randy and Bob were wonderful hosts. We highly recommend this site.
