As you enter the campsite, you'll be greeted by the neatly mowed plot, offering ample space for setting up tents, camping chairs, and a private fire pit. The well-maintained area ensures a comfortable and clean environment for campers to relax and enjoy their time in nature. You will have full privacy on each site as they are backed by trees and face out towards the open meadow. We offer pre-cut wood at Meadow Basecamp. We source, cut, and split all the wood that we provide either on site or from the local area. This helps us lower our carbon footprint while simultaneously maintaining our forests, keeping them healthy for years to come. Most of the wood that you will find in our piles is white pine which burns and smells great. Using the bathroom at Meadow Basecamp is not only environmentally conscious but also an opportunity to learn and embrace alternative solutions that promote sustainability. As you utilize the woodchip system, you'll be contributing to the campsite's efforts to preserve the natural resources and reduce the impact on the surrounding ecosystem.

This site is beautiful and simple, just off the beaten path. It focuses on tent camping. You will be engulfed by the stars and fireflies in the pure beauty of nature as you sleep here. While it feels secluded, civilization is close by with downtown Ithaca and Cortland being quick a 20-minute drive in either direction. There are lots of hiking, swimming, and shopping spots nearby. Ithaca is great for waterfall swimming. Be sure to ask what our favorite spots are.

The Broken Barn

Great spot! Lots of room, felt private without being too far from the road, surrounded by beautiful wildflowers. I was camping solo, but seems like a good spot for a small group. Would definitely stay again!

The Broken Barn

Well-maintained, beautiful rural campsite with plenty of firewood already stocked. There's easy water access for cooling off. Perfect location too - short drive to Robert Treman and Taughannock Falls State Parks, so lots of amazing hiking trail options close by. The host was responsive and made everything easy. Definitely recommend if you want great nature access without any hassles!
