A wonderful ranch that made a wet weekend the best it could be with its outdoor kitchen and bath house. The riding was an amazing experience that we will remember forever. The property is an inspiration to what hipcamp sites should be. I have and will continue to recommend this place to all my friends and family.

Glowing Pathways & Horses
Kelly took the time to come guide us through her lovely forested ranch to our campsite and give us a tour of the facilities. We spontaneously joined in with the festivities, a local end of season horse show for those that ride at the ranch, where the theme was glow-in-the dark. It was a joy to see all the horses and riders decked out in their glowing gear, showing off what they had learned the entire season and having a good time, even in the rain! The people here are a delight to spend time with. The camping platform is quite generous and relatively private. My companion and I hope to come back next season!

Our first stay of many to come!
Our entire stay at D&K Ranch was a delight! We used the tent platform for camping, probably the nicest platform we've ever camped on: private, nice and big, and well-shaded. Having access to an outdoor kitchen felt luxurious, it was lovely to have hot water, a fridge, and a hot plate. Kelly and Jolene are wonderful, down-to-earth horse people, clearly knowledgeable, and fabulous hosts. Everyone we met at the ranch was friendly and kind. We can't wait to go back!

Kelly’s land was absolutely beautiful. The camping amenities were above and beyond and the trail rides were spectacular. Would absolutely recommend D&K Ranch to anyone that is in the area.

Kelly and Dave have a beautiful ranch and you can tell that they’ve put a lot of thought and effort into their property and making it a good experience for guests. We saw Kelly a few times and she is kind and a great host.
The tent site is a large wooden platform close to the shared kitchen and fire pit areas. There are tons of stars at night and we loved seeing all the horses, chickens, and cats on the property.
We did the horseback ride, which was great, and one of us had never ridden before and felt well looked after and comfortable on the ride.
We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely stay again if we were in the area! Definitely recommend it for other campers!

Off-the-beaten path camping
This was a great property to camp on. The tent site has an elevated pad, and access to water and bathrooms was more convenient than most state parks we have frequented as a family of 6. The hosts were so kind to my kids, and they spent extra time showing them how to interact with the animals on the ranch. Aside from several beautiful horses, there were chickens, barn cats, a couple dogs, and so many migratory birds! We enjoyed Taughannock Falls down the road, lit a bon fire at night and used the outdoor kitchen to prepare meals. It was a great mix of roughing it and creature comforts. We would recommend this stay to families and it also looked like quite a nice couples retreat. Perhaps next time we will leave the kids with grandma!
