A Great Weekend

We had a great time with our dog at this camp. The hosts were so attentive and accommodating to any needs. The location is close to Ithaca and the surrounding attractions, making it very convenient. Would definitely stay again!

The Broken Barn

My partner and I needed a campsite that was easily accessible as we were coming to tow. To search for land to buy. This spot was perfect for our needs and the host was incredibly communicative and accommodating!!! Plenty of privacy with wildflowers to watch thru the mist in the morning. 100% cell service and 5 mins from town. Very bare bones but perfect for us.

The site was VERY private. I took a 25 foot travel trailer to the site but it wasn’t for the faint of heart! Rough, narrow path but doable with a 4WD tow vehicle. The site was spotless, freshly mowed, level and they included an enormous pile of firewood! The hosts were VERY generous with suggestions for things to do and where to eat. We took advantage of both. Never met the hosts face to face, but that’s fine. They gave us our privacy, but were quick to respond with texted questions. HIGHLY recommend!!!

I enjoyed my time at Outpost 1. It is a very basic spot. Just a nice place to set up a tent. I would stay there again.

The host(s) were so kind! I didn’t get in until late but they met me to lead me to the site. The site itself was BEAUTIFUL!!! The lightning bugs gave me a light show at night and it was unreal. Highly recommend.
