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.

Campsite 1: The Rabbit Hole w/WiFi

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.

Rustic Cabin 1: Red Eft w/WiFi

Truly Peaceful!

I would highly recommend staying at Camp Earth Connection. If you are looking for a truly peaceful camping experience, you need to make the reservations without hesitation. Eshay and her team were nothing but hospitable. We stayed in The Red EFT and it was just what we needed, a sturdy shelter with a bit of comfort. We enjoyed the ping pong table in the activities pavilion and if we had stayed a bit longer there was plenty of games, art supplies and much more to keep us occupied.. The shower and toilet areas were clean and spacious. Thanks Eshay for a great stay.

Circle of Fire Campsite

Site was beautiful, the amenities were very nice, clean showers and toilets, and everyone was very friendly. Be prepared to lug your things up and down the hill as you cannot drive up to the site. Other than this everything was wonderful!
