This secluded and private 23 acre site is situated in a scenic valley surrounded by Hammond Hill and Yellow Barn State Forests. The campsite is easily accessible from the driveway with opportunities for tent camping under the stars and luxurious cozy camping in a 30ft travel trailer. Travel trailer includes hot water for dishes and showers, propane stove for cooking, queen bed, bunk beds, and flushing toilet. Multiple trails throughout the property take you to a private pond to fish and lounge around, including shade trees with a hammock. There are extensive networks of trails within a 3-5 minute drive to Hammond Hill State Forest, as well as the Roy H Park Preserve with easy access trails to a swimming hole and small waterfall in a hemlock gorge. 10 minute drive to the town of Dryden for basic amenities and the best taqueria in Tompkins County. 15 minute drive to Cornell University campus. 20 minute drive to downtown Ithaca and Lake Cayuga. "Ithaca is Gorges" slogan means you can find over 100 waterfalls within an hour drive.This secluded and private 23 acre site is situated in a scenic valley surrounded by Hammond Hill and Yellow Barn State Forests.

Multiple trails throughout the property take you to a private pond to fish and lounge around, including shade trees with a hammock. Park your car in the driveway and you'll have a short 200ft walk to the trailer. 1 queen bed comfortably sleeps 2 adults. Bunk beds comfortably sleep 1 adult each, or 2 kids each. Couch converts to a bed for a small adult or child. Dinette converts to a bed for a small adult or child. The trailer is relatively new and runs on propane and solar-electric battery. The battery provides power to interior trailer lights and the water pump for sink, flushing toilet, and shower. The propane provides power for the refrigerator, hot water, and stove-top cooking. There is an additional outdoor propane grill for cooking outside by the pavillion. The 24x24 pavillion provides a roof over both the trailer and the picnic table, both for shade and cover from the rain, not to mention a beautiful view of the valley. Additional tents can be set up adjacent to the trailer, where an expansive 200ft x 40ft flat mowed lawn provides room for additional tent camping, frisbees, campfires, and enjoying the sunset over west side of the valley. This 23 acre property is being managed for native plant and wildlife habitat, so trails are mowed throughout to maintain access around the many trees that we have planted to regenerate the native biodiversity on the landscape and provide habitat for various forms of wildlife. We hope you will feel the peacefulness of the valley, and enjoy both the privacy on site and proximity to the Ithaca area.

Amazing stay!
Schlepp-on Inn
We had a great stay at the RV! Great location and a great deal! The RV is spacious and cozy and the surrounding land is beautiful. We will come back when visiting Ithaca again. Judi gave us a great introduction to camping in an RV since we had never stayed in one before.

This was a fabulous, easily accessible space that had everything my child and I needed to feel both comfortable while appreciating a bit of disconnection from the usual hum of the world.

It’s clear that so much care and attention went into creating this peaceful retreat. The site was incredibly quiet, clean, and well cared for—and to our surprise, there were hardly any bugs! I’m usually a mosquito magnet and didn’t get a single bite. The trailer itself was fully stocked with everything we could possibly need for cooking, sleeping, and relaxing. All we had to bring were our clothes and food. Both the interior and outdoor setup were well equipped and cozy. The pond on the property was a lovely spot to unwind. Our kids had a great time fishing, and we spent countless hours lounging in the hammocks by the pond and under the pergola. They were so comfy, we could’ve slept in them lol. Jodi was incredibly warm, welcoming, and communicative. When she stopped by to drop off firewood, we ended up having some great conversations by the fire about the history of the property and the surrounding area. During our stay, we explored Robert H. Treman State Park and Buttermilk Falls Gorge—both absolutely stunning. As Canadians, we found that eating out nearby was a little pricey with the exchange rate, so we mostly cooked at the site, which worked out perfectly thanks to how well everything was set up. We’ll definitely be back. Thank you for such a relaxing stay :)

This is a FANTASTIC site! It has everything you need, you can pack light! It was a rainy weekend and we were so cozy in the RV. And the large covering outside provided plenty of rain coverage to still be able to sit outside, enjoy the rain and chill!. Judi is such a welcoming host, and has put so much into this site and it shows. Completely private. The pond is such a peaceful spot to relax. And Ithaca is gorges!! The hiking was amazing and close to the site. You will not be disappointed here! Book it!

We had such an amazing stay! The camper has everything you could need, even a fishing pole! The host Judi, met us at check-in and gave us the rundown on how to turn everything on. The property was absolutely beautiful. Our dogs ran free all week and enjoyed the pond. My kids stayed busy and off their phones! Just down the road we took a short hike to some waterfalls with a swimming hole!! Definitely will be back to stay again!!

A new home
Schlepp-on Inn
This was my third stay at the camper. I proposed my fiance here this time around and we are happily engaged as I’m writing this review. I have spoken at length about the actual space in my previous review so I’ll speak a little about the hosts themselves. Judi, James, and family are the kind-hearted gems, few of whom one comes across in one lifetime. I decided to plan my proposal here and was talking to Judi ~2 weeks before the actual date. She helped me with the info of a florist, photographer, and other experts; she asked around her friends to help me if it was something she wasn’t sure about. She helped me plan the whole thing and spent the entire day with me, assisting me decorate the space. I had little time and without her help, I would have not been able to finish the setup. She was kind enough to drive and get balloons for me and when it was time for me to leave so that the surprise could be maintained, she stayed behind and finished setting up the space herself! She set up the garlands, balloons, mason jar lights, flower petals, you name it! I got to meet James’ 8 month old son, Jules, and his beautiful wife, Erica. I have found a new family in them. Their presence made the engagement all the more special. Thank you for everything!

One of my best experiences
Schlepp-on Inn
This was my second time staying at James and Judi's camper. I had been here with my friends a few weeks ago and liked it so much that I decided to come again with my partner. There are so many thoughtful touches that it's hard to include everything in one review but I'll try. The camper is located at a great location - not too far away from the city but also secluded enough to have a peaceful stay. It's loaded with everything one could need - from utensils and toiletries to spices, flashlights, bug spray, and outdoor games. We enjoyed using the barbecue while lighting up a bonfire during the evenings. There is a tiki torch and some citronella candles that help in keeping insects away. There is a hammock, bunch of chairs, some tables, and other thoughtful outdoor-furniture around the camper where we loved breathing the fresh air and sipping coffee in the morning. Within a 1-2 minute walk, there is a small pond with a hammock and a bench on the side - we enjoyed a peaceful view of the mountains in the evening at this spot. There are small trails within the property that have been mowed. Within the camper, there are infinite number of small touches such as a Jackery, small usb fans, a fully loaded kitchen etc. Overall, there is nothing that the camper does not have. Oh and did I mention that the host is a complete gentleman? Thank you for a lovely stay, James. We'd love to visit again!

It was beautiful, the short walk through the wooded area to the pond was so pretty. You can watch beautiful sunsets from the camper. The camper was very clean and accommodating with pretty much everything you need. The owners were very nice and quick to respond to anything you might need. Pretty much just had to bring food and clothes and everything else was provided. Definitely will recommend and go back.

Our family planned this trip to spend time with our dog who was diagnosed with lymphoma cancer. James and Judi were wonderful! The camper was set on a beautiful hillside and well equipped. We would definitely stay here again

We really enjoyed our night at the Schlepp-on Inn. The campsite feels secluded and private, but it's not a far drive from many fun sites. We took a break from enjoying the yard games and the pond to swim at the Roy H. Park Preserve just a few minutes down the road. The hosts gave us directions there and were very responsive when we had questions prior to arrival. Judi showed us how to use the trailer, which was clean and well-stocked with kitchen equipment and plenty of bedding and towels. The hammocks by the trailer and the pond were the icing on the cake, and it was a luxury to have the firewood already set up for us when we arrived. And of course, the land was just beautiful--great views, lively birdsong, and a nice breeze! I will definitely keep this site in mind next time our family needs a getaway.
