I don’t want to leave this review because I want to keep this place a secret, but I can’t imagine you’d find better accommodations on Seneca! Bryan is an exceptional host, the property is amazing and the cabin is super!

An excellent camping weekend

My group and I loved camping at Camp Whitman in the cabins. The cabin was spacious and came equipped with space heaters in every room. These became a necessity because of the unpredictably cold weather while we were there. The property is near plenty of wineries and breweries and offers the ability walk down to the lake for a picturesque view. I would gladly recommend this camping locations to friends looking to camp around Seneca Lake.

Very nice campground with views of the lake and some trails. Clean and well maintained facilities. Cabin was very clean and bigger than it looks from the outside. Will stay again.

Walnut Bunkhouse

My husband and I shared the Walnut bunkhouse with our six grandchildren for the weekend. We had plenty of room and truly enjoyed our stay. The property is serene and super enjoyable located out or the way but close enough to shopping, wineries and hiking, to name just a few things. The space provided us the opportunity to each have our own bed, a covered porch for relaxing and a fire pit/wood to commune around. The notice was super reasonable and it was easy to find.
