  • Camping is an amazing way to experience the Ithaca area during Hupstate, and there are many options!

    However, camping is very popular on Labor day weekend and we highly suggest reserving as early as possible, ie right now! Some state parks are already fully booked at this point, but based on our research there are still many great options!

Our #1 recommendation to find campsites is to search the NY State campground database.

To find sites with availability during Hupstate, use the Find an Adventure tool from NY State Parks by typing in Ithaca, NY as the location and your dates. The tool will show you campsites in the region with availability.

Other great options:

For private camping and other quirky and affordable accommodations check out Hip Camp.
