Gorge Swim, Hike, Vineyard Glamping
Kristy's campsite is the perfect private getaway! My Wife and two puppies loved it! There is a beautiful gorge a short hike away and tons of land for our dogs to run around. Would highly recommend!

Gorge Swimming! #1 RV/Car/Tent Site
Great central location to explore the Seneca lake area. Campsite was quiet, well protected from the wind, clean and well maintained, and had all of the necessary amenities (fire pit + chairs, clean porta potty, two picnic tables, solar shower, electrical hookups) for a comfortable stay. Exploring the gorge was really awesome! It was unfortunately too cold for us to swim but our dog had a blast splashing around. Overall our 3 day visit was great and I’d highly recommend this Hipcamp!

Gorge Swimming! #1 RV/Car/Tent Site
Peaceful, private and safe. A lovely spot for the dogs and I to rest after a long driving day. Walking trails, fire pit, clean porta potty - I would have been happy to stay longer.

Gorge Swimming! #1 RV/Car/Tent Site
We LOVED this place! Super close to Watkins Glen for hiking the gorge and SUPing in Seneca Lake. And touring the wineries & breweries and walking around Ithaca was just a short drive away. There is so much to do nearby!

Heaven
Kristy's site was the perfect combination of roughing it in raw nature and relaxing in Finger Lakes wine country. Her newly installed glamping tent was smartly decorated, spacious, and super comfy - it even had a heater for cold nights. (We didn't try it out, but appreciated that it was available if needed.) The porta-potty was the cleanest I've ever seen and the camp shower was an unexpected perk. Eight decorative solar lights made seeing our way around camp easy and much less harsh on your eyes than a cell phone flashlight. We loved that the entire property was all our own after seeing how packed the campground around the corner was!
The gorge was breathtakingly beautiful but a bit harder to get to than we expected. Plagued with a bum knee, I was sadly unable to enjoy it. It's just a short hike down, but much steeper than we realized. The girls (20 somethings) hiked in and took pictures at the pools.
But even they said it was a little challenging. It looks like Kristy is working on improving this though. She was marking it with white blazes and we saw lumber in the shape of stairs that I imagine will be installed on the steepest sections.
Our favorite part of the entire trip was sitting around the campfire with a guitar and a clear view of the milky way after enjoying incredible sunsets from breweries on Seneca Lake. Our recommendations?
• Food - burgers & sweet potato fries on the lawn at the Lucky Hare
• Beer & View - Nutbrown on the back deck at Two Goats!
