I stopped by as I was driving through the forest. There is snow now, so be careful. Lovely area.

I love this camp. Each site has a picnic table and fire pit. There are two toilets, which were very clean when we went. There are garbage cans and recycling containers. This is a pretty quiet area, with little traffic.

I dont like that despite the fact that it's in NY, it's not very Forested, and there's not a lot of coverage between sites. But I get that it's because it's for people with horses. I did not stay with a horse, I car camped. There are no showers, though the bathroom, a vault toilet, is clean and has no unpleasant odors! There is cell signal, if you use AT&T or Straight Talk. During the week or on off seasons you likely won't notice the fact that there's not a lot of spaces between sites. It is $15 a night, not terrible, especially given that there is not too many boondocking/cheap camping in NY. I've gone on more than one occasion, and I'm happy with the camping. I prefer it to the State Campgrounds, I'd never stay in a privately owned campground. Unless I need to shower.

This is a boondocking location. We scoped this out a day before take sure we could get out Class A in the campground. I think there are only 10 sites, some for horse trailers only EXCEPT during the off season. There was one site long enough for our rig...had to watch out for horse droppings but overall this is a nice quiet campground that has easy access to a trail.

We were here without horses just looking for a quiet place to camp with our small camper. We’re usually hard core boondockers but we gladly paid the mere $15 for this quiet little gem after a long day in Watkins Glen. Absolute solitude - we were the only ones here on a Monday night. Usable cell service varying from 1 to 2 bars. Vault toilets were spotlessly clean and odour free. Even surprisingly few bugs, although we were running our thermacell. Would absolutely return!
