Waterfall Creek Cabin
We had the entire campground to ourselves last weekend, and everything was absolutely perfect. Ken and Luke (our friendly dog) were incredibly helpful and welcoming. We truly had a wonderful time there.
Thanks again

We loved staying at Ken’s Cabin! He was an amazing host, the Cabin was very comfortable, and the surroundings were beautiful! My husband and I are planning to go back!

This was our second time camping at Ken's (this time with friends and their baby) and it was just as beautiful as we remembered it! Coming later in the season from our first visit meant more rain and fewer campers on the property, which was autumnally idyllic with all of the changing colors on the surrounding trees. It was a wonderful treat as ever to have those waterfalls as our shower throughout our stay. Already looking forward to our next trip out!

Waterfall Creek Cabin
The cabin was a lovely retreat and had all the essentials and more needed for the two of us and our pup. Highly recommend the walk to the park waterfall. Also nice added touches to have a good space heater and corn hole set up available. Very easy to access Watkins Glen and nearby parks.

Waterfall Creek Cabin
The cabin we stayed in is situated in a walnut grove beside a bubbly stream. On the last day, we checked out the waterfall at the end of the drive. Wow! Next time maybe I will forgo the cabin so I can sleep beside the tranquil sounds of the waterfall.

10 out of 10 would recommend! Ken was wonderful and drove our heavy stuff down the hill to our campsite beside the beautiful waterfall! The sites were spaced nicely with enough vegetation between them that it felt private. The falls are gorgeous and a nice chilly shower if you're brave enough! We were less than 10 minutes to downtown Watkins Glenn and everything you could need or want out of a rustic vacation. The land was beautiful and full of wildlife! We even had a doggie tour guide to walk us to the outhouse and back! I assume he was Ken's dog lol very sweet and playful! If you're looking for a 5 star camping spot, you've found it at waterfall creek!

We stayed here for three days and had the luck to have the whole property to ourselves. Ken was a great host and he has two horses on the property! The waterfall was very beautiful and taking a cold shower with the water was very refreshing. The hill leading to the campsites is quite large, I would suggest a four wheel drive vehicle like Ken recommended. I unfortunately did not read that part but luckily my Ford Transit survived. There's plenty of stores and restaurants around if there's an emergency or you don't want to use the outhouse. Overall a great experience and will be back soon!

Wow, what a weekend!
Waterfall Creek is the kind of place that makes you wonder if you stumbled into a dream or just got real damn lucky. The site sits along a stream in a gorge with a thirty-foot waterfall flowing down like some wild cathedral bell—loud, alive, and utterly hypnotic. Just outside Watkins Glen, but you almost don’t need to leave, because once you’re here it feels like your own private paradise. Nobody else stayed the night we were there, which only added to the spell. It was like being transported into a fairytale where even the caterpillars seemed friendly.
We car camped in our rooftop tent, lulled to sleep by the white noise of the falls, but there are two ground campsites perched even closer to the water—majestic spots that look like something ripped out of a storybook. There’s a rustic toilet on site, though we brought our own setup. No potable water, but grocery stores and gas stations are close enough to grab what you need before settling in.
Morning was coffee brewed beside the waterfall, staring at the remnants of glaciers carved into the gorge thousands of years ago. The kind of view that makes you pinch yourself every few minutes, thinking: Is this real? How lucky are we?
We didn’t want to leave. And we won’t stay away for long. This place is a gem—raw, perfect, and unforgettable.
Thank you, Ken, for sharing your beautiful piece of paradise with us.
Already looking forward to next time!

We were lucky enough to have the whole space to ourselves, although the campsites are well spread out and definitely offer privacy. The cabin was beautiful, very clean, all of the amenities offered were there, and more. The creek was great to listen to until the sun went down, then two owl’s echoing through the darkness kept us company.
The waterfall was just stunning. I’m glad some places are kept private and wild. Ken was very kind, and my goodness does he have a gorgeous property!!!
I’ll be back to camp next to the waterfall no doubt!

This is a fantastic, scenic, dispersed camping site and our motorcycle camping crew had a fantastic stay here! The nearby day trips to wineries and breweries were all stellar and I will be returning to this campground in the future!
Kudo's to Ken for keeping a very tidy spot!

Disclosure — 10/10 spot would recommend coming here. I’m leaving this review for those like me who love to camp, but only get to once a year, and when they do, they want to hear and see as little civilization as possible.
Overall, we had a lovely experience. This is a beautiful place and the host is super friendly! I was thankful to find such a serene location, sort of last-minute. Being able to hang out in our ‘personal’ waterfall every morning was the nature immersion we were looking for.
However, it wasn’t as solitary as I expected. The sites are close together and if there are four children or a loud drunk man nearby, the experience is lost. We were there for five nights and a variety of people came and went; ultimately we had 2 good nights of quiet alone time.
We chose site 1 for the waterfall front. All of the other campers throughout the week came through our site to check it out, which was fine! And the host gave us a heads up, which was super nice. It just seemed like we paid more for this spot, and that others were maybe under the impression they had that option and might have been charged the same? This is my first time using Hipcamp and I didn’t shop around or look at the prices of the others spots before booking so not sure.
Also, you can hear the racetrack in the distance first thing in the morning, which is only slightly disenchanting and does stop at some point.
Camp here! But don’t expect to not hear or see other people.

Place is amazing, falling asleep with the waterfall noise and waking up with a morning cold natural shower under the fall is priceless. Definitely a place to stay at with lots of things to see and do in the area just 15 minutes away

Ken’s property was magical! It was peaceful, quiet & private. We would make this a future camping destination again. The sites are spaced out very well. The stream & falls were the perfect background noise & offered a great place to cool off & explore. I met my bestie for a meetup rd trip. She cane from MI & me from MA. Although his place would’ve been perfect to hang out & chill all day each day, we hadn’t been to this part of the country before. We used our camp as a base for exploring the Watkins Glen, Montour falls, and Ithaca areas. Ken was warm & happy to show us his gem of land. You enter a field at the top of his property where there is a horse stable with two gorgeous horses. Ken on his atv has you follow him down a windy steep dirt path to the fairytale by the river. You can tell he is proud of his homestead & that he truly does enjoy sharing it with others. He waits to see his guests reaction once they make it down to the campsites & his one room cabin (also amazing). I can’t imagine there is anyone that doesn’t look around in awe & pleasure on arrival. The land is lush & clean. Even the outhouse is well kept. There are gas stations & restaurants within 10 minutes of his property if you really do not want to use the outhouse. Although once you succumb to it, it’s fine. Taking a rinse in the falls is a must. His dog Luke happily comes to greet you but doesn’t jump or lick. Other close by swimming, Havana Glen & Endield falls. Dennis homemade Icream is great. ThankU!

Waterfall Creek
An exceptional spot for camping with your family. We were lucky to have the entire place to ourselves for the first couple of nights, which was amazing and opened up lots of opportunities to explore along the waterfall and stream! Site 1 is on a cliff, which is a bit daring with small children. Site 2 is probably the best, being at ground level with the stream and waterfall, but the walk down is steep. Site 3 is where we stayed, and it was lovely, with access to the stream and an ample space for setting up camp! We will definitely be back!

It’s a dream to be able to camp next to a waterfall. It was a beautiful private spot and the sound and view of the falls was peaceful. Ken was very nice and has a wonderful property. My husband and I will definitely be back.

Ken was a lovely host. Friendly and helpful. There are several sites in a wooded meadow valley with a beautiful 40 ft waterfall. The two sites closest have the best view but wouldn't recommend Site 1 for children - a short drop off. Site 1-2 require a walk in with equipment. We were on the 3rd site - still a lovely view of the river. Good space for tents and cars, slightly off the main road and without the louder volume of the waterfall. The walk to the horses up the hill was beautiful, and so were the two other waterfalls just beyond. Note - the outhouse is a true outhouse.

Stayed here while visiting Watkins Glen State Park and the Ithaca area. Ken was very responsive but still let you have your privacy. We camped at the site on by the top of the falls. It was beautiful there. The site and the outhouse was clean. I would highly recommend staying here. If I get back to this area I will definitely by staying here again! We were so lucky we had the place to ourselves.

Ken's cabin was the perfect little get-away. Secluded, yet close to town. Everything you need for a weekend in the woods. I would definitely stay again!

Our family loved this campground so much. We were fortunate enough to get the campsite closest to the waterfall and it did not disappoint! Our kids have already ranked this their favorite campsite and want to go back ASAP.
Ken was a great host; super friendly and accommodating. 100 out of 10 stars (yes I said 100 on purpose). All the other campers in the site area were also so friendly and great with our kids!

I’m truly enchanted by Waterfall Creek! Staying there felt like pure magic. My husband and I began each day in front of the waterfall, savoring our coffee. We spent our days exploring Watkins Glen and all its wonders, then returned in the evening to unwind by a fire and tiki torches, accompanied by the soothing sounds of the waterfalls. It was perfection! The owner, Ken, was incredible, always ready to answer our questions and incredibly accommodating. He's awesome! We were fortunate to have the place to ourselves during the week. Just us! We will return again and again. If you have any doubts about booking a reservation, trust me and go for it! Prepare to be amazed!

Ken was an amazing host! The property is beautiful and even though there were others camping nearby, the cabin still felt private. The cabin itself is even better than I imagined- “rustic romantic” was what I wanted and exactly what we got! Inside was spacious but cozy, perfect for me and my boyfriend plus our two dogs. The sleeper sofa was way more comfortable than we expected and the place had so many sweet little amenities including extra pillows, a fan, tie out for the dog, an axe for wood, shop vac (nice to stay on top of the dog hair!) and even the outhouse was decent. We would highly recommend this cabin and Ken as a host!
