A lovely, 3 acre plot of secluded land surrounded by cute ponds and decorated with sculptures. A small campfire spot, wood stove in the trailer and a composting toilet. Want to unplug and get away from the busy life? Most mobile phones do not work here! We have only minimal solar electricity, and there is a propane stove as well! Two double beds, one single, and a couple of nice cots. Tent Sites abound! We bought this property about four years ago. It was trashed by the previous owner and had an old dilapidated trailer in the middle of it. We cleaned and cleaned, then we ripped out the bad parts of the trailer and rebuilt the insides, placed a huge metal roof over the whole thing and put in a composting outhouse. There's no running water, and phones don't get reception, so you can truly unplug and decompress in this lovely, quiet piece of land which is close to a ton of hiking / forest land and just down the road from Cummings Nature Center, a great place for family exploration and learning.A lovely, 3 acre plot of secluded land surrounded by cute ponds and decorated with sculptures.

What to expect
Short walk to site
Parking isn't available at the site. You will park a short distance away and walk to the site (1-5 mins)
Tiny home
You'll have this Hipcamp all to yourself.
5 guests max
Campfires allowed
Firewood provided, firepit, wood burning fireplace. There is newspaper in a box on the porch if you need it to start a fire. If you’ve ordered a wood bundle from us, feel free to take one of the $5 bundles on the porch. We have more bundles on the porch which you may purchase by putting the money in the designated can on the kitchen counter. Also there are plenty of people in the neighborhood selling bundles. Please keep the fire to a reasonably small height. There is a tree above the pit which we wish to keep alive and well. Please no plastic or cigarette butts in the fire.
Toilet available
Composting toilet. The composting toilet is behind the trailer off to the right hand side. The door is latched so you have to reach in the side window to unlatch it, please re-latch it whenever you check out. There is toilet paper and sanitizer in there and instructions on how to use it. It is a simple composting toilet. Once your deed is done simply sprinkle a generous amount of the provided wood dust upon it and close the lid to keep animals out.
Pets allowed
Off leash, on leash. It’s awesome if you’d like to bring your pets to enjoy the great outdoors with you. We ask that you please clean up their poop if they go and make sure their paws are clean before they enter the trailer and that they are not permitted up on the furniture. We have a number of guests who have allergies and must respect them… also it’s hard to keep the furniture clean if animals are hopping up on it. We also ask that the animals do not dig or destroy things.
Potable water available
Bottled water or jugs
Showers available
Cold water only. We have an outdoor foot pump shower. it is very rustic and not heated. Also about 10 minutes drive from our camp is Honeoye Lake, where there's a lovely beach with lifeguards and simple showers.
Cooking equipment present
Grill over firepit, oven, stovetop or hot plate, cookware, cooking utensils, dishware, cutlery, basic seasoning and oils, sink or other dishwashing station. Our cooking facilities are very simple. Firstly, there is no running water, so please be aware of that. We have some soap and sponges and a rudimentary sink on the front porch. There are instructions on how to use the stove on a sheet above it. Please be sure to keep the propane off when not in use so the pilot doesn’t outgas into the space. There are some hand towels around, feel free to use them. In addition to the kitchen stove, we have a hibachi grill outside. Please bring your own charcoal if you plan on using it. For washing up after cooking, there is a very rudimentary sink on the front porch. It drains into a bucket. Inside the trailer is a small bin which is clean if you wish to make soapy water in something, you can bring that to the sink outside. There are towels in the kitchen which you may use to dry your dishes.
Picnic table present

We had such an incredible time at Whenland. This is a magical place with a unique style. This is an authentic out of the grid paradise created with an artful zero waste approach and design. We can feel that this a a labor of love and a philosophie of care and respect to the land and it's creatures.

This property is magical. We had such a unique and fun time staying on Seth’s land. We explored the land and had such a fun time. We enjoyed the fire and then slept very comfortably inside. If you are looking for something different and special, this is the place to go. Absolutely loved it!!

Nature Meets Maximalism
Whenland Off Grid Eco-trailer
I have absolutely fallen in love with the quirky and bizarre, yet homey Whenland. Seth's land and trailer are like renting a camp-able art gallery for your stay, where you find something different to gawk at everywhere you look. Even though I did not have the pleasure of meeting the man behind the madness, he was an attentive and wonderful host! For a place with trash literally everywhere...by design, mind you...I noticed that everything was immaculately clean. The first night of my stay, there was a surprise snowstorm and the little wood stove took the trailer from 40 degrees to 70 in no time at all, ending with it being one the coziest nights I've ever had. Warmer weather melted the snow the next day and made it possible for me to spend the afternoon outside by the campfire and exploring the land. Lots of opportunity for nature watching here! Saw an eagle fight a hawk, some deer chilling by my car (only a very short walk from the site) and a sleepy springtime snake. Seriously, if you've been considering this unique stay like I had been for a few year and just haven't bit the bullet, do it. You won't be disappointed! I'll be back, and I'm bringing my son next time!

We had a great time! However, it wasn't as remote and secluded as we thought it would be, we could see and hear neighbors, and it wasn't as nice as we were thinking for the price. We knew there would be a lot of stuff on the property based on the description and photos, but there are a lot of unsafe aspects to the property. Definitely would not bring kids here. Our first night I was cut on the leg by a metal wire by the fire pit. There's a fine line between using what was on the property and knowing when something is trash and should be taken away. The porch is seemingly falling apart. We didn't sleep in the trailer, opted for our tents. It was really nice and convenient to have the kitchen. The post says there is electricity, but be warned there are no outlets - you can only use cords with USBs.

Seth camp is strangely unique but in the best of ways. Went early December, it was cold and dark so didn't explore the property much. The trailer is rad and the wood fire stove got the place toasty in like 2 hours. It was fun to stay up and make sure we stayed warm. Looking forward to experiencing this place in warmer weather.

The magic is in the details
Whenland Off Grid Eco-trailer
Such a charming and cozy trailer! What really makes it is all the details. Inch by inch you can tell how much thought and care has gone into this place. If you forgot something, chances are you will find what you need. The lighting inside is excellent. The same is true with the grounds, so many details thought out. It exceeded expectations. Would definitely return!

Travel back in time to the 60’s in the groovy psychedelic Whenland trailer. Host was great, bed was comfortable, stars were bright, wood stove kept us warm all night. Nearby wildlife sanctuary was teeming with life.

The Eco-trailer is a great spot to get away. Seth has a great attention to detail and provides a lot of little things that make your experience easier. I wouldn't say this is "glamping" at all, but having a rustic serving bar built next to the fire made camp cooking very convenient. It looks like Seth really took "reduce, reuse, recycle" to heart and made renovations with old, found material that I'm willing to bet took a lot more time and energy than just buying new wood/fence/railings at Lowe's would have. Some of it may seem "trashy" but it all serves it's purpose and works. If you want a 5 star hotel experience, you'll probably want to be at a place with running water anyway. My dog loved jumping in and out of all the ponds on the property. He had plenty of room to run freely. I thought the cabin was exactly what it needs to be. The propane stove inside was great when we came back late one night and didn't want to cook outside in the dark. There's big windows and a sliding door in the trailer which helped make the trailer feel more open. My only piece of criticism would be to put curtains on these. My dog woke me up at the crack of dawn when he started barking at some deer outside. Had I gone to bed after sun down like I regularly would have when camping, this wouldn't have been much of an issue. Instead, the solar powered lights in the trailer let me and friend stay up late catching up, so waking up at first light wasn't my favorite. The next night I swapped beds and slept in the part of the trailer that does have curtains and my dog slept through the morning. There's a ton of things to do in the area. We spent a lot of time hiking and fishing at Hemlock Lake. The camp has plenty of benches to sit and enjoy being outside. With the ponds and marshy areas around, it does get pretty buggy during some parts of the day, but that's nature for ya. Thanks for the experience, Seth!

Our night at Whenland was a fun filled evening for all! The peepers sang all night by the pond, our camp fire was host to dinner, dance, and laughter, and the trailer provided cozy shelter through a drizzly night. Seth has carved out this wonderland, transforming trash to treasure, a great location to let loose with some friends, with the Finger Lakes at your fingertips!

What a wonderful place! Everything was as described and clean and welcoming. The host had started a camp fire for us when we arrived. The kids loved this place and were kept busy by all the wonderous things. We slept well. Neighbors were a bit noisy in the morning but late enough not to be a problem

Whenland Off Grid Eco-trailer
The site was a mixed bag. The positives: Seth, our host, was awesome. Very communicative, accessible, and thoughtful (leaving toys for my kids). The site itself has a vision, to be funky and artsy. There are beautiful ferns and nature abounding. The beds were nice. It was the perfect size for our family of 4. There were 3 ways to prepare dinner (stove, grill, fire). The drum tree was fun for all ages. The wildflowers were breathtaking and the stars bewildering (we could easily see the milky way on our clear night) The negatives: the "art" comes across as junky. There is junk everywhere. It is obvious this is a site in progress and I appreciate that. The porch was cluttered, the trailer was cluttered. There were no comfortable places to sit. The neighbors were obvious (but we did feel immersed in nature). The paths are not well cleared. All in all, I think I little more work and this place could really be somewhere special that I know the host is trying to make it. For now, it was a fun experience, but not one we need to repeat.

We had a great time at the eco trailer. The inside of the the trailer is cozy, but still has plenty of space for 5-6 people to stay. It rained heavily while we were there, but the trailer has got a great roof overtop so it wasn’t a big deal at all. We also loved sitting by the pond and looking at the stars late at night. It was very peaceful sitting in the little nooks with all the windows open and the rain beating again the tin roof overhead. Seth was very responsive, and it’s clear he has put a lot of time and energy into this space.

A wonderfully unique getaway
Whenland Off Grid Eco-trailer
This was a great place to stay to just get away and relax. The kids really enjoyed banging rhe clunkamaphone and nights by the campfire. It was more spacious than I expected which was really great for our last night since it rained much of the evening. We also loved exploring Cummings Nature Center, literally just down the road. Seth was also a very gracious host, making sure everything was ready for our stay and easy to communicate with.

Had a really lovely time staying in the Whenland Trailer. It was cozy inside and the futon we slept on was plenty comfortable. The property was isolated from the neighbors and we felt like we had the entire place to ourselves (except one quick visit from a neighbors dog). Features like a rock garden, found-material sculptures, and other art around the property felt like they were intentionally integrated into the land and were really fun to interact with. Seth gave us some really great recommendations for places to hike and check out in the area. Being out of cell reception was also a welcome joy to really enjoy the time. Will definitely look to make a return trip & recommend to anyone looking for an off the grid experience close to all kinds of Finger Lakes beauty!

It was so beautiful and the pond sounds were great. If you’re truly looking to unplug, look no further. None of us had service but just a short drive down the road fixed that (just in case of emergency). Seth was super friendly and accommodating. I hope I can go back again soon!

An Artistic Eco-Trailer Experience
Whenland Off Grid Eco-trailer
Our Stay at Seth's Whenland Eco-Trailer was wonderful. It was an artistic getaway tucked into the woods. The forest growth thick enough to not see the neighbors and have plenty of privacy. There is tons to look at on this property. Seth is artistic and has made some rubbage art pieces including a fun hanging drum center. The fire pit area is cozy and there are plenty of chairs and hammocks to hang and lounge in. And Seth has tons of fun crafts and entertainments to play with. Seth himself is super chill and laid back. Would recommend to a friend :)
