Tempest Ranch Camp
Had a great time on Dwayne’s land. He met us after dark to get us to our site which was nice. There was plenty to do there plus enough within 20 minutes to adventure out. Very scenic land. Dwayne is a personable person and we’ll be seeing him again

We had a wonderful experience here! Dwayne was a very accommodating host and even built/started our fire for us on our first night arriving! Beautiful property with lots of cool spots to hike around. Definitely want to come back next summer and try out the swim hole!

Tempest Ranch Camp
Dwayne’s ranch is a cozy, little spot to camp out, away from the hustle and bustle of a town. We chose this place as it’s a quick 15 minute drive to Watkins glen and must say it turned out to be a wonderful choice. Dwayne is an amazing host, always willing to answer any questions. He helped us with an abundant supply of firewood for the camp fire. There’s a trading post very close by to the ranch entrance, from where you could get food, groceries, and beer. Would definitely recommend Tempest ranch and would come back here again ✌️

Folks like Dwayne and Tina are the reason we love Hipcamping. They care about their property, and their campers, and the Tempest Ranch was perfect for our three-day stay. We almost stayed longer even in the rain! The Sugar Hill State Forest was also a gem. Peaceful, lots of trails and 4x4 roads, and we felt alone whenever we ventured into the forest. Just what we wanted. Thanks Dwayne and Tina - see you next year we hope.
