Morning Glory Camping Pod for 2 in Woodland Campground
Morning Glory is a unique wooden "Pod" Cabin for 2 in a spacious campsite with a full size bed, small dresser, lantern, fan, fire pit & picnic table. It sits on the edge of the forest with morning sunshine at the door. It's part of a beautiful woodland campground with a wildlife pond adjacent to hiking & biking trails. Hot Showers & high speed WiFi at main camp. Just 20 min from Ithaca & State Parks. The facilities are alcohol/drug free providing all guests with a peaceful atmosphere to enjoy nature.
Cute cabin and nice property. Had all the essentials like a bath house, toilets, and wifi. Especially the wifi because I had no cell service but I could still text and call connected to wifi. The biggest seller to me is that it's dog friendly.
Eshay welcomed me with a tour of the amenities and campground rules. I appreciated their communication. I felt that if I needed anything, Eshay was willing to help. Showers and composting toilet were kept super clean during my stay - there were only 3-4 of us on the campgrounds so it was quiet and there weren't any issues with overlapping needs of the facilities. I was grateful for the lantern provided in the camping pod, as well as the shower towel and bedding (all unexpected and appreciated!). I enjoyed going to Brookton's Market (a 15-20 min drive away with fresh food, drinks, and live music). Unfortunately, it was rainy during most of my stay - yet, the camping pod was the perfect temperature (front door facing the rising sun) and dry. I also enjoyed a warm campfire the first night. My stay was exactly the rejuvenating respite I needed - perfect for a few days of reading good books. Next time, I hope to take advantage of the nearby trails for hiking. Highly recommend!
Hi! I am Eshay and I am your host. I live in a 1-Room Cabin at Camp Earth Connection 6-months of the year during camping season w/my canine companion, Druid. I am fortunate to live my dream life! I love: Connecting with both local and diverse guests from around the world; Spending most of my wake hours outdoors; Cooking meals over the fire, Teaching and sharing information with guests on topics such as Outdoor Living Skills, Sustainable and Regenerative Outdoor life; Flora and Fauna (wildlife and plants/trees) awareness and identification; Caretaking the land and facilities; And working with the Camp Earth Connection team to offer guests a wonderful camping experience.
My life's work has included designing and implementing outdoor spaces and activities that are inclusive and anti-biased for families, children and adults to connect with nature and each other. Camp Earth Connection started as a children's camp and in 2015 evolved into a Woodland Campground & Retreat and Environmental Educational Center. Camp Earth Connection provides a welcoming space to all, with a warm welcome to individuals who identify as LGBTQ, as well as people from the BIPOC Community who may not have always felt safe in wilderness settings; And to all people who want to share a peaceful and amazing experience in nature.
Camp Earth Connection is a beautiful and serene camp, nestled in the middle of the Hammond Hill Forest. Your hosts Eshay and Druid(camp pup) will greet you when you arrive and give you an orientation to the camp to help you get acclimated. Camp Earth Connection(CEC) is a small campground with just 18 camp/cabin sites, plus adjacent to the camp, in Eshay's Forest, there are 3 additional cabins/cottages with full amenities. When you stay at CEC, you have the opportunity to camp at your comfort level (or challenge yourself with less amenities) and experience nature in the raw.
Guests can choose to have some peaceful alone time or be more engaged in our small community during our community campfires, Between Memorial Day and Labor Day, Camp Earth Connection offers a free Saturday Morning Campfire Pancake Breakfast.
CEC offers individuals and families a chance to connect with each other and nature in a peaceful beautiful setting. Alcohol and drugs are prohibited to ensure this peaceful atmosphere and to allow folks to find serenity through our natural environment. CEC welcomes and values people from diverse backgrounds and cultures. We do our best to make sure our guests feel safe, cared for and respected. We of course expect the same in return.
At CEC we are environmentally conscientious and do our best to preserve the natural surroundings and natural resources. We incorporate composting and recycling into our daily routine.
