Tempest Ranch

Beautiful Property

Dwayne had a beautiful property with lots of unique features! We ended up picking a tent camping spot back in the pine woods and it was perfect. He came to check on us and said we were allowed to explore his 40 acres of land. We even got to pet his donkeys! We would definitely stay here again.

Absolutely beautiful space

Dwayne’s little slice of heaven was amazing! He met us (me and my hubby) as we pulled in, in the dark, helped us pick a great spot and even got a fire going for us! He was very hospitable. We stayed from Thur-Sun and we were right by the pines! The area was beautiful, even though we had no sun and some rain we enjoyed the hiking, amazing views and his property, the thick evening fog was cool, made it mysterious, we were even able to do some “off roading” in our Jeep (Beast Mode) on the attached state property trails, we hiked for miles and it was great! The evenings were peaceful and relaxing, and Dwayne made sure we had plenty of wood through our stay, we saw some wild life including deer, snakes, bats. We had plenty of privacy. There is no service so make sure to bring other means for music as we brought a small battery run radio which worked good, We will definitely be back with the whole family next year Thank you Dwayne for sharing your amazing property with us!! And for coming over Sunday to say fair well!!

Tempest Ranch

Summer camping trip

Best camping experience I’ve ever had. Beautiful place, with very friendly owners. The sites are more private than a state park camping site which was really nice. I would 100% recommend this place.

Camping with Animals!

I would recommend Dwayne’s land to anyone! Very peaceful area, fire pits included, and multiple spots to set up. There are plenty of things to see nearby, and down the road there is a store with everything you need. Dwayne was very helpful and communicative. If you love Donkeys, Horses, or Dogs he’s got it all! Very friendly people. We enjoyed our stay.

Great stay at Tempest Ranch

My 16-year-old son and I had a great time staying at Tempest Ranch. The land is beautiful, especially the meadows and pasture that lead up to the state forest. Dwayne was incredibly accommodating and friendly and really helped make sure we had a great stay. I would say this is a great option for anyone interested in dispersed camping on a well maintained property in the finger lakes region.

tipi by the stream

Conscientious owner!

I loved the simplicity, beauty, and space of Dwayne's tipi. Though it drizzled almost the entire visit, Dwayne was very conscientious and put the extra effort into helping us enjoy a campfire in the wet environment. He also spent time learning what we'd like to do during our stay and provided ample ideas, which we appreciated.
