Gorge Swimming! #1 RV/Car/Tent Site
Peaceful, private and safe. A lovely spot for the dogs and I to rest after a long driving day. Walking trails, fire pit, clean porta potty - I would have been happy to stay longer.

Kristy's site was the perfect combination of roughing it in raw nature and relaxing in Finger Lakes wine country. Her newly installed glamping tent was smartly decorated, spacious, and super comfy - it even had a heater for cold nights. (We didn't try it out, but appreciated that it was available if needed.) The porta-potty was the cleanest I've ever seen and the camp shower was an unexpected perk. Eight decorative solar lights made seeing our way around camp easy and much less harsh on your eyes than a cell phone flashlight. We loved that the entire property was all our own after seeing how packed the campground around the corner was! The gorge was breathtakingly beautiful but a bit harder to get to than we expected. Plagued with a bum knee, I was sadly unable to enjoy it. It's just a short hike down, but much steeper than we realized. The girls (20 somethings) hiked in and took pictures at the pools. But even they said it was a little challenging. It looks like Kristy is working on improving this though. She was marking it with white blazes and we saw lumber in the shape of stairs that I imagine will be installed on the steepest sections. Our favorite part of the entire trip was sitting around the campfire with a guitar and a clear view of the milky way after enjoying incredible sunsets from breweries on Seneca Lake. Our recommendations? • Food - burgers & sweet potato fries on the lawn at the Lucky Hare • Beer & View - Nutbrown on the back deck at Two Goats!

The camping spot is a large grassy area surrounded by trees, its very well maintained with a clear view of the stars above. There were 2 big picnic tables, a couple solar lights and a fire pit to use, the outhouse was clean a smelly free. The hiking trails were still being improved on but well worth a hike down to the gorge. The water was clear and felt so refreshing. Kids and I enjoyed an afternoon picnic listening to the small waterfalls.

Had a great time camping at Kristy's spot. The space was very private, clean, and quiet. Our kids enjoyed hiking down to the creek and swimming in the creek. Would definitely recommend.

Best Hipcamp Site Ever!
This place is truly Eden, & Kristy is a wonderful host! The gorge is unlike anything you’ll ever experience.  The platform was perfect for our tent.  The fire pit, chairs, & lanterns were wonderful as was the port-a-potty nearby   We were able to see the Milky Way because it is so secluded with very little light pollution. At the same time, we could walk down the hill to a fantastic brewery.  This place absolutely has it all! Without doubt, this is the best Hipcamp site we’ve ever visited! Thank you, Kristy, for sharing your beautiful land & for being so attentive!
