Love this place, the campsite is great and the area has everything.
There was plenty of firewood and the hosts take care of the site daily.
One of my favorite HipCamps and I will definitely be back again!

I loved camping here. It was super secluded and private. There were some trails to walk and and perfect amount of firewood for the weekend. The water tank was a perfect touch to make it everything you need.

We had a great time at Al’s camp! We had plenty of provided firewood, the pit toilet was so convenient and supplied with toilet paper and hand sanitizer, and the grate over the fire made it fun to cook steaks and chicken. We were a quick drive to wonderful ice cream, a waterfall walk, and great views! Thank you!

Super secluded spot within easy striking distance of all Lake Seneca had to offer. The free firewood was a nice touch, and the outhouse was clean and serviceable.

Perfect Spot for enjoying the finger lakes! Cute little site away from the main tourist areas but close enough for some awesome site seeing.
It was well taken care of and Al was very helpful.
If you are visiting this area, I would highly recommend.

A very quiet and secluded camp just off the road. Easy to find, a short distance to Penn Yan, lots of winery’s. We’ll stay here again. Thanks AL

Wonderful spot! We found this site last minute and were so glad we booked it for the night. Easy to find, and was perfect to park our minivan. Gave us space to walk and to explore a bit before returning to the road. Would love to come back for a longer stay!

Al’s Camp was clean and well stocked with wood, just as it was the last time I was here. Everything is accessible and in great shape. Will come back again someday soon for sure.

Can't say enough about Al's camp! Al adds a lot of extras..a very clean outhouse, lots of firewood and non potable water. We had a nice time on the trails that are nicely kept. We didn't have fly on tent so the fireflies gave quite a show! Thank you so much for a lovely camping experience :)

This was a nice little spot. The ground at the first campsite was a bit rocky, but there were others to choose from. The provided firewood was amazing and the tree coverage was great with the heat. We saw some deer and various other wildlife.

We loved our time at Al's Camp! The solar path lights at the RV site were a nice touch, as was the non-potable water next to the firepit.
The tree sculptures were magical, and we were able to set up our solar suitcase panels at the tent site. I wish we had been able to do more walking on the trails at the site, but just walking down to the creek was fun! We also spent quite some time one morning watching and listening to birds of prey circling above the trees.
You'll also hear planes, trains, and automobiles, but it doesn't detract from the experience. We'll be back if we're in the area again! We also appreciated how responsive Al was to our questions.

Great private camping with 40 acres to explore. There was ample dry firewood and the outhouse was clean and well kept. Loved being surrounded by woods but able to see the stars through the canopy. We chose the tent site further in to feel even closer to nature. Lots to do nearby if looking for activities off site.

Great location. Nice to have some firewood provided and only a little ways from the road. There was some road noise. I'm used to living in the country but overall a good experience.

This is a great location for anybody wanting to visit wineries along Seneca lake. It was very easy to find. Plenty of space for our pop-up camper, and the amenities for camping were excellent. The down-facing night lights near the bench and outhouse are helpful. All the firewood was lovely. We had the most delicious steaks that we cooked over the coals. The noise from Highway 14 is definitely there, but so were the calls of the osprey that we enjoyed listening to.

I recently had a pleasure of staying at Al's campsite and I must say, it was a truly amazing experience. The location itself was absolutely beautiful and very well maintained. Al, the owner, is a fantastic guy. Incredibly friendly and helpful individual, who goes above and beyond to ensure that his guests have a memorable stay.
One of the highlights of our trip was the abundance of firewood provided by Al. We were able to have cosy campfires every night, which added to the overall ambience of the campsite. Additionally, the kids had a blast picking black raspberries on the campsite trails. It was a great activity that kept them entertained and connected with nature.
In addition to the wonderful aspects I mentioned, I wanted to highlight that our group consisted of 10 people - 5 adults and 5 kids.
Overall, I highly recommend Al's campsite. The beautiful surroundings, excellent maintenance, and the warm hospitality of Al make it a perfect destination for a memorable camping experience.

We've stayed at Al's Camp several times, it's one of our favorites! He's a great host, and the property is so fun to explore. He provides plenty of firewood which is so convenient. One of our favorite things is occasionally hearing the horse drawn wagons coming down the road.

We had a great time at Al's camp. It's private with a picnic table, fire pit, benches and an outhouse. Firewood is provided which was an incredible benefit. There are many trails to explore on the property too. We can't wait to go back!

Al’s Camp was great! I got there around 9PM. I pulled in and set up camp. I have a van so set up took no time. It’s pretty dark, so make sure you have lanterns.
I wasn’t bothered by the occasional road sounds, my sleep app had me tracked as the best sleep in years.
The next morning the pit toilet/outhouse served it’s purpose. It was clean and roomy.
I broke camp and had no issues pulling out even though it had been raining.

Al’s camp was great! Plenty of firewood and the pit toilet was well-stocked with toilet paper, sanitizer, wipes, and a citronella candle. Not much light pollution so you can see plenty of stars on clear nights. Great hiking close by, including a few trails on the property. As other reviews have stated, there is some road noise from NY 14 nearby but otherwise quiet and very peaceful. Definitely recommend!

Excellent spot to pitch a tent. Secluded woods with lots of privacy. Close to NY route so there is some road noise, but it quiets down at night.

A nice secluded space with picnic table, fire pit, drop toilet and dry, split firewood supplied. No houses or other spots nearby. Close to keuka outlet trail and Seneca lake as well as local wineries, spotted duck etc. Only downside is proximity to NY 14 with loud traffic.

I had a great stay here! Very secluded spot with a couple camp sites to choose from, plus some little trails through the woods. Free firewood, well-maintained outhouse, firepit, and picnic bench. The only downside is that cars can be heard easily from the road nearby. It was much quieter at night though. Al was very kind and helpful!

Al’s campsite was absolutely wonderful! It was really easy to find, clearly labeled, and the site was set out great - there were only two of us but there would definitely be enough space if you came with a group of 8 or 10.
The trails behind the camp were well maintained and very beautiful, and I highly recommend visiting at the end of June/beginning of July because the woods were flush with black raspberries! We were able to pick a quart’s worth in under 30 minutes.
There was plenty of firewood which was very dry, as well as newspapers for kindling, and a fire pit with grills for over top, so making fire was a breeze. The portable toilet was kept very clean, and stocked with toilet paper and a citronella candle.
If you’re looking for food nearby, Spotted Duck Creamery is just a mile up the road and had decadent ice cream and a cute little farm attached. This would also be a great place to stay if you’re interested in wine tasting, as it’s right off of the Seneca wine trail, and we drove by at least a dozen wineries and vineyards on our way to and from.
10/10, would definitely want to come back. Make sure to check out the fireflies at night - we saw dozens!!
