The Best Camping Near Ithaca, New York

Beautiful campground, offering plenty to do, lots of activity room, and is central to so much. Pool was crisp and clean, and tent area was quiet and exactly what you could ever want.

Quiet, hidden treasure

Beautiful lake, woodland and natural surrounding. Friendly campground visitors and staff. Open to seasonal and day campers alike. Playground needs improving.

Scenic, kid and family-friendly

The weekend got pretty pricey after adding our children to the site. They even charged us extra for our 8 month old. They did not have the pool open on a hot sunny day because rain was in the forecast. Playground was really run down. Nice campground if you do not have children.

Beautiful campground- not kid friendly.

Pinecreek is a beautiful park in a great area 10 minutes from downtown Ithica New York and Lake Cayuga. The area has everything you could possibly want or need. Fabulous State Parks with spectacular waterfalls, a farmers market right on the lake front, Cornell University and so much more. That being said it may be the reason the campground doesn't offer any planned activities. They do have a swimming pool and what appears to be a large clubhouse/meeting area that is not or was not used while we were there, nor were any activities publicized. They do have a small arcade but it did not stay open past 8 pm and did not appear to be air-conditioned.

Our campsite was a full hookup with a large grassy area for setting up our outside chairs and picnic table. Although we enjoyed our stay we felt it was a bit overpriced for not having much to offer. They also have a very long list of rules &amp; while they do allow pets there is a list of breed restrictions you need to be aware of before booking a reservation. They also charge for electricity on any stays one week or longer which we had not encountered previously at campgrounds where we have stayed.

Overall we enjoyed our stay but not sure we would stay again.

Beautiful Park, beautiful area could be so much more with a little effort!

Not too far from home, bathrooms were a little on the rough side, park itself was ok, not overly impressed with any of it, we'll be going back again this coming season to give it a fair shake, may have just been a bad weekend.

Ok place

Beautiful setting...loved the sunsets, kid friendly, pool well maintained, Catch and Release Pond was lots of fun...the store is big and plentiful!!  Will definitely return each season!!!

Wonderful place to visit!!

What a great campground. Family friendly, beautiful atmosphere, nice roomy sites, great pool and kids get to ride their bikes all over and feel safe. I’ll be back!
