10 acres hosted by Meghan A.
1 tent site
Discover this hidden gem in the heart of a secluded 10-acre pine forest just outside of Ithaca. Find refuge as you camp in the wild, tucked away among the ferns, old growth apple trees, seasonal streams, and local wildlife. Experience serenity and seclusion just 15 minutes from downtown Ithaca, the Farmer’s Market, Stewart Park and Buttermilk Falls State Park.
After parking your car at the trailhead and hiking a quick five minutes along the gorgeous nature trails, you’ll emerge into an opening in the pine forest where you’ll find a raised platform to pitch your tent, nestled within a forest sanctuary (we offer tents upon request).
Spend your time forest bathing amidst the trees, digging in our family-size sand pit, hanging in the hammock, hiking along the trails, birdwatching, enjoying a bonfire around the fire ring, and gazing at the night sky. Experience the diverse flora and fauna of the region as you discover toads, salamanders, [fluffy animal], [bird], and an abundance of lush plant life.
We are a sustainable and regenerative habitat. We ask that you pack-in and pack-out all your garbage, take only memories, and leave only footprints.
Details:
- Parking located on the side of the road (at trailhead)
- This is a hike-in, hike-out site (short walk)
- Terrain can be uneven in areas, watch your step!
- Composting toilet guidance is posted at outhouse
- Firewood and starters are provided (please maintain controlled fire)
