We love that the canopy of the trees and the lean to kept us dry in the freak storm! The kids loved playing on the sea-saw and swing as well at the teepee and lean to for activities!!! We hiked the trail to the upper and camp and fished pond !! Pamela was a super host and very welcoming- and private camp area !
Beautiful land, fun environment, private & excellent hospitality! Pam met us when we arrived and gave us the low-down of the land! There are private trails right off of the site, my dog was even able to confidently be off leash for the first time.
Pamela and Bob did an amazing job on creating a space for people to genuinely enjoy! The inclusion of hand crafted pieces is unique and so useful! The space is also very private and secluded while still being plenty close enough to necessities. Pamela is kind, helpful, welcoming and makes the process as easy as possible. We will absolutely be coming back to enjoy staying here again!
Such an extraordinary property. We had an awesome experience and Pam was so gracious. The perfect distance away from all activities. A campers perfect dream when it comes to privacy and experience.
Beautiful, peaceful campsite in the forest. Pamela and Bob are wonderful hosts. Very welcoming and helpful, ensuring we had everything we needed to camp. Thank you for sharing your lovely sanctuary in the woods! It was so nice to meet you two x
Excellently maintained site. Choose your own tent, expertly made leanto or TeePee. Also have glamping camper. You do need to carry your stuff up to site, but I did get my cardio inn. Great site, great hosts, great sanctuary.
Nice site. Great host.
Thanks Josh, nice to meet you!
Pam and Bob’s campsite is such a gem! My boyfriend and I got here when it was dark but it was so easy to get here and the walk from the car to the camping spot was easy even at night. When we woke up the next morning, we were greeted with beautiful fall foliage covering the ground. It was the perfect autumn oasis. There’s plenty of wood made available by the hosts for a small fee of $6. We had so much fun playing on the see saw (haven’t been on one in years!) and on the swing. They also had a hammock that we didn’t have time to use :( It also rained on and off during our stay but the canopies helped us block the rain and it was SO handy that they had a little house/hut with a platform that kept everything dry for us. The location was close to the state parks and to downtown Ithaca. They had boards games and golfballs to use as well. The log benches and tables were so awesome. We wish we had more time to spend but we definitely will be coming back.
