    Quiet and adequate for an overnight stay. Beautiful area outside the campground.

    Small quiet park with everything we need. WiFi was only weak spot. WiFi signal strength was strong but backend internet service was unreliable and seemed to be lacking bandwidth. Close to Finger Lakes National Forest and Watkins Glen State Park.

    Our stay was great. It is a small, upcoming campground, but it was secluded, backing up to plenty of trees and very quiet. If you are looking for a small, quiet campground, this is it. My wife and I really don't like the hustle and bustle of bigger RV parks, so this was right up our alley. Communication was great from them as far as getting emails about confirmations, reminders, check-ins, etc. They even sent me a text message the morning of us leaving and sent me a picture of the campground with the route I should take to get to our specific site, which I thought was a nice touch! Awesome service! The story behind the property of the campground is really good too, and they are looking to expand in the future, which we wish them all the best. Great stay!

    Driveways are a little tight. Small facility but hopefully some expansion are coming.

    Very clean, nice restrooms and shower. Flowers and shrubs around the area….this is going to look nice! Nice kiddy playground. Basic, but what we needed. Very convenient location for wineries and waterfalls!

    Great little quiet place. Nothing fancy but it was exactly what we wanted. No children running thru you campsites, no barking dogs and no partners up to all hours. If your those people keep away from this place and don't ruin it for the rest of us. There's no pool, no game room, one shared shower and 4 toilets. Like I said, nothing fancy. I couldn't give them 5 Stars because of the lost internet through out the stay. No phone service. This place is perfect for adult couples looking for a quiet, clean and nicely spaced campsite. The rest of you go to Jellystone and don't run this place! This is more of a park and go campsite, no amenities but that's what made it a little gem. Only suggestion is better signage, and better internet for rainy days.

    TR was the best. Campground was great and he helped us with suggestions to eat and visit breweries and wineries and some really good wings. I would highly recommend this campground. It was perfect

    The area was beautiful. The only thing it was that it was very, very difficult to see in the dark. Otherwise, the site and area was clean, easy to get to, and we had no issues. The host came over and met us and welcomed us and asked if we had any needs that he could help with!

    Very quiet campground fairly new, owner has been diligently working to get more sights ready. Nice and clean bathrooms. No camp store to get ice or emergency groceries and no close store around. Had to drive to Watkins Glen where there is a Walmart but then again the distance you drive, ice or ice cream would melt.

    They appear to be just starting out, but it was exactly what we needed for a local wedding accommodation. The only knock I could think of would be that the WiFi connection didn’t work

    This campground is a work in progress but definitely headed in the right direction and clearly progressing, delightful owner, everything worked as it should. We would stay again without a doubt.

    There was no office in which to check into. there were no on site staff. The campground was obviously unfinished, no washrooms. no showers. no office It says there was internet but needed a password and this was not supplied and there was no one to ask! We booked from Canada so had no access to anything once we left home without internet so could not find out what the password was. Would have thought washrooms and showers would be more of a priority than the really nice children's play area. high price for hydro! probably would not return unless there was more amenities.

    This place opened this Summer. Sites are very large. We have a 40’+ fifth wheel and it was not an issue at all. Our host manager, T.R., was fantastic. We got a free bag of wood and wifi access upon arrival. Site was about 30 minutes from Watkins Glen International Raceway, which worked out great for our race weekend.

    It is a great smaller quiet campground with a perfect location. Watkins Glen State Park/Falls, Seneca & Cayuga Lake, Taughannock Falls are right around the corner. TR the owner is very helpful & nice. Highly recommend staying there.
