Northeast camp
Simple, Peaceful, Nature.
This was a wonderful retreat to get away to. A quiet place to be one with nature. Where the days are simple and the nights filed with a symphony of owls and all of mother naturers creature's. I came with my tent but decided to enjoy the well crafted shelter/lean two. I stayed for 4 nights with some chilly weather and some rain. I was dry and well protected. The amenities are quite simple for disconnecting and living on the edge; a hot on demand outdoor shower, a composting private outhouse, private shelters, hand built picnic table and shelter. They even provided me with some wood (while supplies last). There was no cell services but for me that was great i came to relax and get away from distractions. It was the perfect place to hold camp to get out and see what this part of New York State has to offer. There are lots of trails near camp at Connecticut Hill Wildlife Management Forest. There are lots of water falls to see at several NY State Parks. It's Centrally located between Ithaca and Watkins Glen. Lots of vineyards and breweries to check out as well. But I stuck to the outdoor activities. This is a beautiful camp and I was welcomed with open arms by the host David and Roxanne. What a great camping vacation I had here.

Northeast camp
Serene and sightly
I had a great weekend of camping and hiking! David, Roxanne and Rouk were lovely hosts. There's a sizeable lean-to at each site (big enough for me stand up in all parts at 5' 10"). I heard Barred owls (Strix varia) both nights, so the site is definitely aptly named! It was less than 10 mins to multiple trail heads within the Connecticut Hill WMA, and only 25 mins to Watkins Glen State Park. I will absolutely be staying here again.

Southeast camp
Relaxing stay on Connecticut Hill
I loved camping at the Southeast Camp! David and Roxanne are very kind and charming hosts with a wealth of knowledge about Connecticut Hill and the surrounding area. The rural roads and nearby trails are excellent for exploring off the beaten path. The campsite itself was very quiet and wooded, managing to feel private while still conveniently close to the driveway. The facilities are rustic yet beautifully crafted, it was an immersive stay in a beautiful natural setting. Would highly recommend!

What a stunning spot! Beautifully constructed platforms, kind hosts, such pretty woods, and the fanciest outhouse I've ever seen!

Beautiful nature peaceful stay
We had a lovely stay at Barred Owl Woods. Hosts were kind and accommodating. There was easy access and walks into Connecticut Hill and we saw and heard a good deal of wildlife, including barred owls at night. The early red leaves were beautiful - just starting in some maples & the creeks were flowing. Mosquitoes were pesky in the late afternoon, so bring a net or your thermacell. The site was well maintained and peaceful. The road there has some bumps, so 4WD is helpful but our Prius made it ok 🙂 Would definitely recommend!
