The campsites and our home are on a forested hillside adjacent to Connecticut Hill State Game Land, one of the largest in New York State and a place for hiking, XC skiing, birding and mountain biking. The campsites are 2.4 miles from a trailhead of the Fingerlakes Trail which traverses the state and is only a half mile from Cayuta Lake, a small Fingerlake

An Orchestra of Singing Owls
Everything at this site was truly amazing! From the time we pulled up till the end, David & Roxanne hosted us with the highest quality of care. The camp site is clean w/ fire pits and wood. They have an outhouse nicer than some indoor bathrooms. The Connecticut Hills, The Gourge, and the landscape create a backdrop that’s truly serene and magical. It’s the perfect escape for a personal revival, or an intimate retreat for partners to renew, restart, and refresh their relationships. It’s an awesome place to disconnect from the noise and connect with life’s purpose. This campsite will forever be a little slice of heaven for us. Thanks Dave & Rox.

Private and Peaceful :)
We're already planning our next trip here to this beautiful part of the world! The campsite's shelter helped keep us dry during a few days of rain, and we were cozy in our private little area. David made sure we had everything we needed. The bathroom is so clean and new, and the outdoor shower has HOT WATER! 10/10 We also adored the cute pup, Rouk, who greeted us in the mornings, and it just made the experience all the better. Thank you! Highly recommend if you're looking for a great camping spot.

Simple, Peaceful, Nature.
This was a wonderful retreat to get away to. A quiet place to be one with nature. Where the days are simple and the nights filed with a symphony of owls and all of mother naturers creature's. I came with my tent but decided to enjoy the well crafted shelter/lean two. I stayed for 4 nights with some chilly weather and some rain. I was dry and well protected. The amenities are quite simple for disconnecting and living on the edge; a hot on demand outdoor shower, a composting private outhouse, private shelters, hand built picnic table and shelter. They even provided me with some wood (while supplies last). There was no cell services but for me that was great i came to relax and get away from distractions. It was the perfect place to hold camp to get out and see what this part of New York State has to offer. There are lots of trails near camp at Connecticut Hill Wildlife Management Forest. There are lots of water falls to see at several NY State Parks. It's Centrally located between Ithaca and Watkins Glen. Lots of vineyards and breweries to check out as well. But I stuck to the outdoor activities. This is a beautiful camp and I was welcomed with open arms by the host David and Roxanne. What a great camping vacation I had here.

Serene and sightly
I had a great weekend of camping and hiking! David, Roxanne and Rouk were lovely hosts. There's a sizeable lean-to at each site (big enough for me stand up in all parts at 5' 10"). I heard Barred owls (Strix varia) both nights, so the site is definitely aptly named! It was less than 10 mins to multiple trail heads within the Connecticut Hill WMA, and only 25 mins to Watkins Glen State Park. I will absolutely be staying here again.

Southeast camp
Relaxing stay on Connecticut Hill
I loved camping at the Southeast Camp! David and Roxanne are very kind and charming hosts with a wealth of knowledge about Connecticut Hill and the surrounding area. The rural roads and nearby trails are excellent for exploring off the beaten path. The campsite itself was very quiet and wooded, managing to feel private while still conveniently close to the driveway. The facilities are rustic yet beautifully crafted, it was an immersive stay in a beautiful natural setting. Would highly recommend!

What a stunning spot! Beautifully constructed platforms, kind hosts, such pretty woods, and the fanciest outhouse I've ever seen!
