This is one of only two camp sites on a 200-acre parcel of secluded, rural farm land. We are a working pasture based farm where you can see how grass fed beef, pork, chicken, and eggs are produced. There's nothing quite like fresh eggs and bacon after waking up to the sunrise over a fog-filled valley! When you arrive we will provide a complimentary carton of pastured raised eggs and you are welcome to visit our web site (redhouseranch . net) or store to order meats for your stay and/or to take with you upon your departure. We have a wide variety of grass fed beef, pasture raised pork, snack sticks for long hikes, and dog bones for your furry friends. Many of our items are well suited for campfire cooking. Keep in mind that all our products are frozen so be sure to plan for time to thaw. If you're not sure what that involves - we're here to help. We are a working farm but, much of our property is not grazed or farmed. You are welcome to explore the entire area while also getting a glimpse of sustainable, pasture-based, farming methods. Learn more about us and the history of the farm at our website. As you roam the hills and forests you'll eventually bump into some of our animals. Please do not enter the animal enclosures or touch any of the electrified fence lines. If you really want to pet a piggie or hold a chicken - just reach out to Ike or Dave and we will gladly arrange this for you. Red House Ranch is also the perfect spot for wildlife enthusiasts and bird watchers. During your stay you may encounter eagles, blue herons, coyotes, turtles, wild turkeys, foxes, the endangered bobolink bird (its unique call sounds a bit like R2D2), deer, great horned owls, and many unique plants. It's not uncommon to hear the coyotes howling at night. In addition to hiking trails with incredible views, there are four ponds on the property easily accessible with mown paths. One is very large with a dock and suitable for swimming, paddling, fishing, or just relaxing but the water. The other three are smaller and are now primarily wildlife habitat. easily accessible with mown paths If you're feeling adventurous, there is a more strenuous hike down into the creek bed where you can find miniature versions of the gorges and waterfalls that our region is known for. We are happy to provide maps and guidance or leave you to your own devices. When skies are clear our area has very little light pollution and excellent star visibility. It's a great place to view the night sky during a meteor shower. We hope you enjoy your stay as much as we enjoy living in the beautiful Southern Tier/Finger Lakes area!

Scenic camping site
The location was lovely and the hospitality was phenomenal! I would definitely recommend this site to others. It was private and the view was great. I only wish the weather was better but I'm looking forward to returning and staying longer. Ike and Dave were awesome hosts – very clear communication and we felt very welcomed!

Amazing scenic campsite
The view from this site is incredible. Definitely would recommend staying here. Nice and quiet and the owners sell very good quality meat. You definitely can taste the difference between their product and what you get at the store. Will definitely be back here

Wonderful experience
One of our favorite campsites to date! They are great hosts who were very kind and responsive. The privacy is unmatched while they are just a short ride or text away if you have any questions. It was wonderful to let our pup run around safely and splash around in the water. Highly recommend this Hipcamp!

Scenic and spacious!
Absolutely loved the view. The site was gorgeous, secluded, clean and well maintained. Great hosts who run this family owned property, very quick to respond to any questions. We bought frozen beef, chicken and pork meat from the farm which we already started to enjoy. 10/10 experience.
