Amazing views
Hipcampers say this spot has amazing views.
My property is about 70 acres of wildflower meadows, ponds, organic grain farm and forest located about 10 minutes northwest of Ithaca and 20 min from Finger Lakes wine trails. Enjoy walking along the dirt road and mown trails throughout the property, wild raspberry and blackberry picking, bird and wildlife watching and some incredible sunsets! The campsites are located well off the main road for privacy and seclusion. A convenience store and gas station are located about a mile down the road. This is a peaceful and beautiful place to stay.

Lower Meadow site
Nice, private sites
The lower meadow site was nice. We enjoyed our stay as it seemed like we had the place to ourselves. I think later in the day there was one other couple in the glamp space, but didn't hear or see them. It was nice to have firewood waiting for us on arrival and more to purchase near the very clean bathroom. I'm pretty sure you can hear the frogs at any site there, they were quite loud at night, but after a long day they didn't bother us and we slept well, even with cooler temperatures. Thank you for sharing a well thought out space. Looks like you might be adding more sites and continuing to build it up, would love to see you install some kind of outdoor shower for guests....I'd pay a lil extra to shower😉

Secluded Spruces
The Green Heron is a truly special place. The combo of tranquility, convenience, and attention to detail is unbelievable. Secluded Spruces was, indeed, secluded, and we were surrounded by wildflowers, birds, and peace. The walking trails and ponds offered some good exploration, and the composting toilet was very comfy. The one drawback - which is clearly stated in the post, and we were expecting - was that there is no potable water. But if you plan for that, it's no big deal. Terrific place, I plan to be back!!

Pond site
A Delight!
Beautiful view at the pond site! Much more private than we were expecting, which was great! Owner and other guests were very friendly and polite. Perfect for our quick weekend trip up to Ithaca. Quick drive to Southhill Cider and Buttermilk Falls.

Lower Meadow site
Would recommend
I stayed at the lower meadow site with my dog and it was a great experience. Though some of the sites are sort of close together, the family at the site down from mine wasn’t too loud and there was enough space that I didn’t see them. I paid $6 to have wood waiting for me which was awesome and they had a bunch more on the side of the outhouse for sale with a cash drop box or a PayPal option. The outhouse was super clean and equipped with push lights for nighttime, hand sanitizer and toilet paper. The space was pretty flat with a picnic table and fire pit which was a nice bonus. I would recommend staying here as the sunset views were absolutely gorgeous and there was a lot of property to walk with my pooch.
