We had a perfect spot in the Upper Meadow with our teardrop. Great property! Beautiful new picnic tables and firepits. Super clean potty.

Awesome spot
Awesome place to camp. Just a few minutes outside of downtown Ithaca, beautiful views, quiet, couldn’t recommend it more.

Great location next to everything we wanted to do during our stay. Went to taughannock state park and drove to Ithaca for dinner.

Lovely, secluded camping spot
We loved the peace and quiet of the beautiful spot. Craig was wonderful when we got stuck in our camper van after it had rained all day.

Craig was great at answering all my questions and was very accommodating. The Green Heron offered a great, hidden spot. We stayed at the upper meadow which offered a good amount of privacy or if you wanted to book both upper & lower meadow spots would be great for larger parties. The campsite comes with an immaculately maintained portapoty & mowed trails to explore. We needed some extra wood and Craig was able to supply firewood for a great cost. Would recommend & would return.

I loved camping on Craig's property! The grass made camping extra comfy. Craig answered all my questions in a timely manner. The views of the sunset were gorgeous! We would definitely stay here again.

We really enjoyed our quick stay at the green heron. The campsites are wonderful and private, and the surrounding landscape was really beautiful. We had wood and eggs waiting for us. Such a treat!

My boyfriend and I stayed at the pond site for 3 nights and it was absolutely amazing. The property is beautiful and we were lucky enough to have a clear night and see all the stars. Craig is an awesome host and super nice! Will definitely be back again!

Only stayed one night but we easily could have spent several nights here. It's beautiful, peaceful, and close to Ithaca. The sites are close enough to each other that it would be great for groups but also far enough apart to offer some privacy. Porta potty was clean. Saw lots of bunnies and a couple of ducks while strolling around. Craig was very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended, whether you're staying one night or one week.

Camping with the frogs
It was a beautiful spot and Craig was very easy to work with! An amazing orchestra of frogs will hangout with you during your trip:-)

Another excellent weekend at The Green Heron. 2nd visit even better than the 1st.

Great campsite
Beautiful site. Lots of privacy and not too far from Ithaca downtown. We enjoyed our time there and recommend to others.

Lower Meadow site
Beautiful spot
Beautiful view, not too far from town but far enough to feel secluded. I would definitely reserve again in the future. There is not a ton of shade at the Lower Meadow lot so I think we will bring a canopy next time.

Don't miss this one!
The most gorgeous spot, right outside of Ithaca!
Craig's spot on the pond was even better than I expected. I arrived on a very rainy evening, so I wasn't able to enjoy the spot as much as I wanted to, but I was treated to a gorgeous double rainbow over the pond as soon as the rain broke. I'll definitely be back to this spot again!

Great place to stay!!
We just spent the weekend at Craigs lower meadow campsite. What a great spot to use as a home base for exploring the Ithaca/Finger Lakes region. Really nice land to camp on. The bathroom(Port-o-potty)was very clean. We walked to the other campsites and they were just as nice as the one we stayed at. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

Cute little pond oasis.
Beautiful spot! Would definitely recommend. Unfortunately, we had to pack up and head home due to a thunderstorm with lots of lightening. Will definitely try again sometime in the future.

Great spot a few minutes outside off Ithaca NY, three spots to choose from. Very clean Port-a-Potty and clean camping spots

Lower Meadow site
Quiet and Secluded
Really sweet spot! Plenty of flat space to spread out. I was in the Lower Meadow which was excellent, but will choose the Upper Meadow next time for better views.
Good location a few miles outside of town and pretty close to Taughannock State Park. Also close to the Black Diamond rail trail for easy off road biking into Ithaca.
Bought Craig’s firewood for $5 and it lasted for 2 fires with some left over, kindling included, a very good deal and very convenient.
This is my 6th Hipcamp site, (3rd in Ithaca) and my favorite so far.

Lovely camp sites by Ithaca but also in rural area so it’s peaceful. Wonderful set up.

green heron, clean campsite
craig was so nice and accommodating. the campsites were nice and clean and the porta potty on site was literally the cleanest i’ve ever seen in 33 years of life.
my wife saw the eponymous green heron. my child and i were busy dodging the rain but it’s a real thing!
super close to fantastic parks and downtown ithaca. great spot to “rough it” with a 4 year old.
a+ would camp again

Had a really lovely stay here! Very quiet and secluded space with beautiful meadows. Delicious wild blackberries were growing all around the campsite! The campsite had a picnic bench and a fire pit. There was also a porta potty within short walking distance. I definitely recommend this spot.

Thank you Craig for sharing your land. Easy to find , everything is marked. A beautiful spot to camp. The sky was clear , so many stars. It was just really nice , definitely would go back to camp there. Thanks again !

Very private spot, better than crowded campgrounds. We picked the pond site and we’re treated to a frog chorus throughout the night (which was okay with us). There was a short visit by the green heron. Craig came by to see if we needed anything. I did bring drinking water, but I forgot about filling up a jug to use for washing.

What an awesome camping site! Forget camping in the over-crowded state parks and find solitude at this beautiful site. I stayed at the pond site, and the views were gorgeous. Enough room to park right next to camp. There was a fire pit, picnic table and two perfect trees to hang a hammock. Super close to hiking areas and breweries.
Will definitely be returning!
