Very Expensive Night

Pros: Overall, this is a cute place. The owner is pleasant and quick to reply. It was as pictured, grounds very well maintained; good location. Owner communication with directions was good. Clean. Very quiet. Excellent access to trails. You are within sight of other campers but they are set far enough apart that it feels very private. Cons: You have to arrive at a scheduled time to check in between 5-8. Cost was high with nightly fee, extra person fee (site advertised for 4 but we were charged 20$ extra for each person over 2), cleaning fee, VRBO fee and taxes. One night in a camp for 3 people $173. Also, owner requires high damage deposit or insurance and it's not returned until 2+ weeks even without damages. I spoke with VRBO and the owner about the high price, owner feels it is in keeping with the local market and VRBO said prices are set by owners. Overall: I would recommend- just pay close attention to the listing (no kitchen, compost toilet, shared shower, fees).

Very quaint and quiet stay!

This was a very lovely property. There were a few little cabins and tents spread out on the grassy area in the woods. It was very quiet, and we still felt like we had our own privacy. The composting toilet and shower house was very well maintained, we didn’t feel uncomfortable using any of it. Ershay was a great host, gave us the lay of the land when we arrived so we knew where everything was and how to use it. Our cabin was cozy, had more ammenties than we expected (a fan, French press, towels, plus the listed microwave fridge and three beds). Would go back again!

Eco bliss

I had a wonderful experience at this property, Camp Earth Connection. It is exactly what it promises to be- a socially and ecologically conscious stay that is comfortable and pleasant. There are plenty of great walking and hiking trails right from the parking lot. The cabin I stayed in had everything I needed, including a comfortable bed and thoughtful additions like a mini fridge and charging ports for my devices. And, I was sung to sleep by several different types of owls, a highlight for me.🥰

Peaceful getaway

We had a wonderful time! This place was set off back in the forest and I think it was the first time ever waking up to JUST the sound of the birds and nature itself! Bathrooms and cabins were spic and span clean! Susan and staff were very friendly and helpful but respected our privacy as well! I would highly recommend this place if your looking for relaxation and quiet with options of hiking or heading to many beautiful parks not too far away!! Even my golden was sad to leave.

Beautiful Setting and Base Camp

We booked this place on very short notice and we were not disappointed. The Story Time cabin was perfect for me, my husband and my two boys who are 9 and 10 years old. The camp is small, beautiful and very well maintained. Showers and bathrooms were very clean. Eshay was lovely and ready to accommodate us if we had forgotten anything. I liked that we could access the sink to wash our dishes and that we could find our own wood for a fire (although we ended up not doing the fire in the evening as we were very tired from our hikes in the gorges of Ithaca and the fingerlakes! We are likely to return to this campground in the future if we are visiting again. I gave a slightly lower rating on the "accuracy" of the listing only because we weren't sure if we were getting a cabin with the bed or with the futon. We ended up with the futon which was as comfortable as can be expected - so we weren't necessarily disappointed. Our boys slept well on the bunk beds. The little fridge was perfect for the few things we had each day to keep cool. The kettle was a nice touch to easily boil some water in the morning for tea. A very easy stay for us.

Great place for me and my dog

I enjoyed waking up to lots of birdsong and fresh air. There are nice walks to take and a very relaxed, chill atmosphere. I wanted no frills and that’s what I got - good down-to-earth simplicity.

Cozy Cabin in the Woods

Susan was a great host. The property was exactly as described on the listing. The cabin and bathroom/shower facilities were impeccably clean. The cabin has small bunk beds and a double bed. Cross ventilation in the cabin helped keep it a comfortable temperature. Exactly what we were looking for.

Great Place to Stay

Suzanne is a great host. I literally enjoyed every single minute at her property. It is a great place to stay if you like hiking. Several trails are worth visiting in the area. I would personally suggest driving if you would like to visit other places in Ithaca. Note: the cabin also had a microwave, a fridge, and a coffee maker. At night you can light up a fire and enjoy the stars. I would recommend this place to anyone who loves being surrounded by nature. I will go back! Thank you Suzanne for being such a great host.

Great Camp Ground

I enjoyed my 8 week stay at this camp ground. The cabin was perfect and I loved sitting on the front porch most mornings to read and meditate. The bathroom facilities are clean and well maintained. The owner(Susan) and her staff (Gabriel) were wonderful. If it hadn't been for the 3+ weeks of almost constant rain in upstate NY this summer it would have been a perfect 8 weeks! If you are looking for a quiet, peaceful place to stay for a few days or weeks, I highly recommend this camp ground.
