This half-acre site, with about 200 feet of gorgeous lake frontage, is for the camping "purists" who thrive on pitching their own tent, and curling up in a cozy sleeping bag under the stars. "Get away from it all..." yet only two miles from downtown Watkins Glen.

City advice
Don't miss
Be sure to experience the Finger Lakes!
We highly recommend the southern tip of Seneca Lake, the largest and deepest of the Finger Lakes. Watkins Glen is only about 30 minutes away from Corning by car. Ask us about our lakeside campsite for couples!
