GuideThis was a great camping trip! We had site 29, nice spot with the North Rim trail right behind our site. Trails are beautiful. Restroom and shower close. You do need to be careful, lots of oaks trees and falling acorns! Easily dings you car hood, watch where you park. Close to down town for a visit to the awesome farmers market in Ithaca.
GuidePros: clean, good location,nice bathrooms,hot showers nice playground.
Cons: this cabin was on main thoroughfare,so people and traffic, stiff mattresses, very large religious group singing and playing loud music.
ScoutSpent 7 days here with the family. Campsite is packed with things to do and very family friends. Great for kids. Activities and live band on Saturday’s.
TravelerSecond year we have camped here in June prior to the IMSA race at the racetrack. The sites are all spread out with a nice tree canopy. There are two loops (Mohawk and Seneca) with electric, and 5 more for tent camping or boon docking RV. There is a trail that connects directly with the state park with all the waterfalls. Water spigots onsite liberally spread out and the showers/ toilets pristine. With my senior America pass it cost me $103 for 3 days. Love this place
ScoutEverything was great, RIGHT UP UNTIL some inconsiderate neighbor rolled in with their RV and let their generator roar from 7am to 10pm, ALL. DAY. If you’ve ever had to endure that mind-numbing drone, you know exactly how close it comes to making you lose your mind. We ended up cutting our trip short just to escape it. Absolutely miserable, selfish people who clearly don’t care who they ruin a trip for
TravelerThey are super family friendly, its very quiet and peaceful. The pool is beautiful and a cool and unique shape. They have activities on the weekends and its very safe for kids.
TravelerCampground is quiet, bathrooms are OK. Some sites have power, some don’t, none have water or sewer. Lots of things to do here. Been here 5 days and still haven’t done it all.
TravelerSite 80 is across from water access. But only 5 minutes to fill your tank. If you book an inside loop close to #80 you will be close to water.
