Campsite 1: The Rabbit Hole w/WiFi
I thoroughly enjoyed camping here. It was a great experience for my finance and I, it being her first time camping. Having access to a toilet and shower definitely eased her into the overall experience. The land is surround by lush forests and trails. The locals of the nearby town were very friendly and pleasant. Eshay was such a wonderful host and easy to talk to. She explained the guidelines of the camp clearly and was so polite. I would definitely recommend Camp Earth Connection to those who want to experience a calm and relaxing camping experience.

Rustic Cabin 4: Pine Cabin w/WiFi
This is a very peaceful place in the middle of Hammond Hill State Forest (the trail system is directly accessible), close to Dryden and Slaterville Springs, and not far from Ithaca. There's a variety of small cabins widely dispersed around a large, healthy field. The toilets, showers, and sink areas are clean and spacious. The volunteers are friendly and helpful. I stayed three nights, and will be happy to return the next time I come back to visit dear old Cornell.

Quaint and peaceful retreat
A very quaint and peaceful area. The host was more than welcoming! The only downside was that the tent camping is on uneven rocky ground, which was a bit uncomfortable. Besides that it was quiet and very enjoyable! Would definitely visit again.
