We bought our beautiful 23 acres with our hacienda on it more than 30 years ago and we have had friends come camp here over the years. Our friends love to swim in our pond and bring their dogs over for hikes and mountain bike rides so we decided to open it up for others to enjoy.Up on a hill 10 miles from Ithaca, pitch a tent by the pond or find a shady spot near under the pines. We have 23 acres of park-like setting with trails that lead from the pond around the property for walking the dog, taking in the beautiful views and enjoying the sunset. Our spring-fed pond is lovely for swimming and it is stocked so you can catch and release. There is enough space that you will not be able to see the other campsites from your site though you may see people lounging and swimming in the pond at any given time. We have our portojohn pumped and sanitized weekly. No soap in pond please. Please let us know if you are bringing your dog when making your booking. Due to the steep banks of the pond, we do not allow young children who do not know how to swim. We recycle and compost. Please comply with this or we will have campers take their trash home with them.

This property is beautiful. Sharon is very kind and was super helpful with instructions and accommodations. A buddy and I wanted to hammock for the night and there is a beautiful pine forest that had perfect hammocking trees! I would recommend this place to anyone. The view when we woke up made our morning really awesome.

Peaceful Campground

Tent · Group trip

Spent a lovely weekend camping here with my wife. The camp was surrounded by beautiful fall foliage. No one else was there when we camped which made it even more quiet. Sharon's dogs were very social and friendly. Overall, we had a pleasant experience. I recommend this spot to anyone with a dog.

We enjoyed staying with Sharon’s Land when we visit Ithaca. We camped right next to the pond. The pond view is fantastic and beautiful especially early morning and evening. My dog also loves staying there, he jumped into the pond to swim everyday and run to explore every corner of the land. Now I understand why some reviews say this is a dog heaven and IT IS for sure. Sharon’s land is closed to Ithaca city and every attractions. Highly recommend to camp here if you have dogs. We will definitely return if we visit Ithaca again.
