We bought our beautiful 23 acres with our hacienda on it more than 30 years ago and we have had friends come camp here over the years. Our friends love to swim in our pond and bring their dogs over for hikes and mountain bike rides so we decided to open it up for others to enjoy.Up on a hill 10 miles from Ithaca, pitch a tent by the pond or find a shady spot near under the pines. We have 23 acres of park-like setting with trails that lead from the pond around the property for walking the dog, taking in the beautiful views and enjoying the sunset. Our spring-fed pond is lovely for swimming and it is stocked so you can catch and release. There is enough space that you will not be able to see the other campsites from your site though you may see people lounging and swimming in the pond at any given time. We have our portojohn pumped and sanitized weekly. No soap in pond please.  Please let us know if you are bringing your dog when making your booking.  Due to the steep banks of the pond, we do not allow young children who do not know how to swim.  We recycle and compost. Please comply with this or we will have campers take their trash home with them.

Hillside Pond with a View
We had a great night here! There were several sites to choose from and I decided on the site right at the edge of the pine forest. The views were fantastic and we had a great time walking all of the trails. Thanks, Sharon!

A perfect pup-venture
We had an amazing stay, you can tell Sharon puts in a lot of work on the land by how nicely mowed and clean it is. I was the only camper during our stay but I think even if the sites are full, the layout and the goldenrods/fireweed that surrounds each site and around the land offers a lot of privacy. It was also like a little maze that my dog and I had fun exploring. I felt very comfortable letting my dog go on little off-leash dates with the other pup, I think Kronos? The sites are at the end of a country road and up a gravel path so you don't have to worry about passing cars. Sharon's land is surrounded by woods and sits on top of a hill so you get a nice view of the rolling hills around the area, it's really nice right now since the leaves have changed color. There are a few sites to choose from, each have their pros/cons regarding privacy, shade, space, distance from porta-potty and views but you really can't go wrong, we liked the spot all the way at the top of the hill, however it didn't really have shade but it had the best view out of the other sites, the other sites had trees that provided quite a bit of shade if that is important. Sharon was very nice and welcoming, encouraging us to lounge by the pond, there was seating there which is nice but the grass was really comfortable to sit/lay down in. Cell service is spotty (t-mobile) but there is wifi near the barn which was decent. 20 minutes from Ithaca and 10-15 minutes from Buttermilk and Robert Treman state parks!

Doggy dream camp
We loved our stay here! First of all the views are beautiful!! Waking up to rolling hills and colorful wildflower fields, ending the day with breathtaking sunsets and the most stars I've ever seen at night. When you arrive, you get to chose which spot to camp at around the pond (as long as they are available). We chose the site at the top of the hill and it did not disappoint. Sharon (and her dogs) greeted us and helped us navigate our 19ft camper through the entrance of the campsites. We were the only ones camping there during our stay, so it was quiet, peaceful and relaxing. Everyday we got a visit from one of Sharon's dogs, Cronos. He was the sweetest, friendliest pup and a nice play companion for my dog. This site is also very close to the city of Ithaca and the beautiful parks in the area. We would definitely stay here again!

We were very happy to set up our tent on a gorgeous little site next to the pond! The firewood was dry and plentiful and Sharon responded to our queries very quickly. Other campers were quiet and kept to themselves, except for the friendly dogs running around. There was a bit of algae so we didn’t go for a swim, but didn’t miss out as this property is located very close to Buttermilk Falls and Robert H. Tremen State Park, both with gorgeous waterfalls and public swimming spots. Would definitely stay here again:)
