Summary:
Orchard and Gorge Tent at South Hill Cider - Site #2 is a flat campsite at the edge of a mature forest and large field. Relax with pastoral views of wide open spaces and butterfly habitat while accessing hiking trails and a cidery serving artisanal food 5 days per week.

The campsite is located 2 miles from Buttermilk Falls State Park, 4 miles from Robert H. Treman State Park, and borders the Sweedler Nature Preserve. Located on the Finger Lakes Trail, the campsite is part of our 30-acre farm with an organic orchard and working cidery. A short walk to a babbling brook with a 140-foot waterfall and sunset views right at the site, it is only a 7-minute drive to downtown Ithaca and the Ithaca Commons. It is also just a short walk to South Hill Cider which serves artisanal food (Thursday-Monday) with live music (Mondays, Thursdays, and some Fridays). The campsite is in the shade of mature Oak and Hickory trees at the edge of a field with a lovely view. Enjoy the sounds of songbirds (wood thrushes all summer), owls, and frogs. Look up in the evening for starry sky views. Also, fireflies abound in mid-summer!

This campsite at South Hill Cider is the perfect home base for exploring the Finger Lakes waterfalls, Cayuga Lake, hiking, wineries, cideries, Ithaca and Watkins Glen. This area is known for its many State Parks with beautiful gorges, waterfalls, Cornell University and Ithaca College.

Please note we have two campsites on the property.

This is an exclusive Tentrr Signature campsite. Tentrr partners with land owners to offer unique accommodations in beautiful outdoor spaces. Our campsites are off-the-grid which means they generally do not have access to electricity, wifi, or modern plumbing. Instead, they offer the chance to relax, unplug, and fully experience nature!

Your Tentrr campsite includes a 10'x12' (120 square feet) safari-style canvas tent on a raised wooden platform. Inside the tent you'll find one queen bed with a memory foam mattress. The tent is big enough for the bed plus one or two extra sleeping bags on the floor. Aside from the canvas tent, campers can also use the extra 5-person pop-up dome tent that’s provided. You'll also have a 6-ft picnic table, outdoor fire pit, 2 Tentrr Adirondack chairs, and a heating source to keep you warm and toasty at night.

Max Occupancy: This refers to the total number of campers allowed onsite with your reservation.

Toilets: Every campsite is equipped with a camp toilet (we call it the Tentrr Loo). This is a simple wooden box with a toilet seat and a bucket inside. To use, line the bucket with a CleanWaste Sani-Bag supplied at the camp prior to use. Afterwards, simply tie the bag up and place it in a trash bag. CleanWaste Sani-Bags use a NASA-developed gelling/deodorizing agent that helps prevent spills and keeps everyone safe and clean.

What you should bring:
-S'mores supplies & any food you'd like to eat
-A cooler to keep your grub from spoiling
-Bedding and pillows
Firewood

Interaction with Guests:
Upon check out, you should leave-no-trace of your stay and be sure your campsite is returned to its natural glory! While Tentrr does not charge a cleaning fee, we do expect campsites to be left how they were found. After you check out, take everything you brought in and be sure to leave your trash at the designated location.

If a Tentrr Host submits an incident report after your stay that details evidence of trash or damage to the campsite or the host's property, Tentrr reserves the right to charge a minimum cleaning fee of $50. Just make sure to follow the Camper Manual posted at your campsite and you'll be set!
