This campsite offers a pleasant balance of seclusion and convenience, making it a favored spot for many returning campers. The location is easy to find and provides ample space to explore, with nearby trails and the Erie Canal just a stone's throw away. While the site is generally well-regarded for its privacy and natural beauty, there are some concerns regarding maintenance, such as overgrown trails and low-hanging branches that may pose issues for larger vehicles. Despite minor drawbacks, like occasional road noise and insect presence, the site remains a popular choice for those seeking a peaceful retreat close to amenities.

I did not stay here. I booked then changed my mind. They didn’t contact me or were willing to offer a refund even with two days notice.

Slightly underdeveloped nearby esca
Tent · With pets
This place has tons of potential. Better clean-up between campers, a latch lock on the toilet to keep the critters out, and signs to help find the trails to the canal/toilet would really elevate this place! Slightly more road noise than we expected, but wasn't a complete surprise when the convenient location is taken into account.

For Camper Vans or smaller

Lovey, private spot but…
The listing says the site is suitable for Class A, B, and C RVs and Travel Trailers. We have a Class C that is 11’ high and 8’6” wide. One of us had to ride on the roof to lift low tree limbs to avoid damage. The host gave us permission the cut back low hanging limbs on the way out. Fortunately we had a chainsaw with us.
The listing also says there is a trail to the canal. We followed the trail until we could no longer find a trail.
That said, the site is spacious and lovely. I wouldn’t stay there again due to the size of our RV but wouldn’t hesitate to give a thumbs up for those with camper vans or smaller.

This is a really nice plot to get away, experience privacy while staying close to lots of convenient shopping and food options in biking range. Just bring lots of bug spray if you're visiting during the warmer months! I am looking forward to coming back in the fall or spring, before the bugs start doing what they do so well!

Debra has an awesome property with beautiful trails backing up to the canal. We have stayed twice and we are local. I definitely recommend it.

We enjoyed this Hipcamp so much! After a busy weekend at a state park this was the quiet break we needed while on the way home. Rain from previous days made the trails unwalkable but we enjoyed our time by the barn. Our dog loved exploring.

The site was huge and very well maintained. Not having a quiet hour and being able to play music all night without worrying about bothering other people was amazing.

Great place nearby the Erie Canal. We arrived later than we wanted, arriving after dark. We found the driveway easily and the site was good. We had bicycles to cycle along the canal. The property did border the canal, but a little bushwhacking was needed. Woke up in the morning to four deer grazing and squirrels getting walnuts out of the trees!

Tent · With kids
This land has clear area with direct sunlight and a picnic table, has a forest where there it is clear of weeds, close to a small stream and has a picnic table too and also has walking access to the Erie canal.
Definitely recommend. 30 minutes from Rochester but feels like you are far far.
It is comparable to dispersed camping. Don't expect all amenities of a KOA (pool, vending machine, toilets, etc.) , this is comparable to backcountry hiking/camping.

This camping spot is lovely. Nice trails and locations to put up your tent. We were able to get good viewing of meteor shower that night! Listened to the owls and coyotes. We enjoyed our stay and will be back :)

Nice spot not too ar from town too
16 ft car
I found this site perfect for what I needed, which was to have a nice, quiet, secluded place to spend the night camping in my Jeep.
When I arrived, it was fairly easy to find the road back to the main camping area. There was a picnic table and some chairs and some fire pits. I made a small fire in one of the fire pits; there were some pieces of wood scattered around and I brought a few myself. I arrived well after dark so I parked my car near the red structure and slept there.
In the morning I took a walk down some of the paths into the forest but I lost the path before making it to the water. In the forest there were additional clearings where you could set up tents, which was cool. There were some rudimentary structures built in the woods as well, probably by previous campers. There were also a good amount of branches and twigs on the ground the further back you go, which would be useful for anyone looking to make a fire.
As others said, there did seem to be a good amount of skeeters and other flying bugs, but it wasn't crazy or anything. Bring some bug spray and get a fire going and it shouldn't be too bad I imagine. There are also some fallen trees across a few parts of trails, but they can be gotten over without too much trouble.
I would come back and visit this spot again on future trips. My only suggestions for the property might be a few small solar-powered lights on posts in the camping areas, clearing some of the fallen logs, and perhaps access to well water

Fun & private, but not as advertise
Tent · Group trip
Overall we had a good time, but the amenities and space were not as shown.
The campsite was nice for our group of 10. Large firepits, several tables and ample parking space. Shade was very much appreciated, bugs weren't a big problem either. The trails were fun to explore and the canal access was great. It was relatively easy to find and felt secluded despite close proximity.
A large portion of the site that was shown as maintained in the photos was not mowed or cutback when we arrived. This was the green space west of the barn, and all surrounding areas to the garden patch. While it worked out for the 10 of us, had our original group of 20 people attended there would not have been enough space. Additionally, a hand pump was mentioned in the listing but was not installed when we arrived. These didn't end up impacting our trip that much, but easily could have been a massive pain if things worked out differently.
Overall, we had fun, but there were issues.

Peaceful Place

This was our 2nd time staying at "Secluded Camping on the Canal" and we enjoyed the experience. We had the entire property to ourselves and took some time to explore the many trails. (Mosquito repellent and knowledge of what poison ivy looks like are a must - but that's part and parcel of being in woods and fields near the canal anyway.) After our hike we headed into Brockport for dinner (lots of choices), then came back to chill by the campfire. The site is very private, and during the day the sounds of so many birds fills the air. After dark fireflies abound, and owls and other night critters call out from the woods... it's very peaceful. We will definitely consider coming back again.

The driveway was extremely tight and ended up scratching both our truck and camper — definitely not suited for larger vehicles. The entire area was overrun with mosquitos, and the canal and creek access mentioned in the listing was completely blocked by downed trees.
Photos on the listing don’t reflect the current state of the property, and the automated message we received before our trip mentioned a hand pump for water, but we were told it’s not actually turned on because “not many people use it.” That message and the pictures really need to be updated to avoid confusion for future campers.
Overall, I’d only recommend this spot if you’re just passing through and need somewhere to crash for the night. This property could really be a special and beautiful place if it was maintained just a little better. On a brighter note, we really enjoyed the nearby town park and grabbing ice cream at Pinkies just around the corner — both were the highlights of our visit.

Make sure to bring plenty of bug spray, and be very confident in identifying poison ivy. Generally a super cute spot - private, the dogs loved it, Wegmans is only 5 minutes away if you run out of snacks. 😊

Secluded site, private feel and yet also close to stores. Lots of mosquitoes and very muddy, so wasn't able to explore much.
