Pinecreek Campground

Pinecreek Campground is around 15 minutes’ drive from Ithaca, with plenty of supermarkets where you can stock up on grocery supplies. There are also gas stations if you need to fill up your RV rental and a great selection of restaurants and fast-food eateries for dining out. Ithaca lies on the southern edge of Cayuga Lake and is home to the attractive Ivy League school of Cornell University, which is renowned for its I.M. Pei–designed Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art. It boasts more than 30,000 works and is particularly noted for its Asian art collection, as well as hosting an exciting calendar of traveling exhibitions. Green thumbs shouldn’t miss a visit to the Cornell Botanic Gardens, which feature a wildflower garden and the Newman Arboretum, as well as the multi-tiered Cascadilla Falls. If you’re traveling with kids, take time to explore Ithaca’s Sciencenter, a hands-on museum that’s dedicated to inspiring young minds about the world of science. There are more than 250 interactive exhibits to explore, as well as an outdoor science playground, an 18-hole mini-golf course, and a touch tank filled with live marine animals. Also worth exploring is the downtown Ithaca Commons, a shopping and entertainment area that’s always alive with people and street musicians. Motorhome camping in Newfield is also ideal for RVers wanting to tour the Finger Lakes Wine Growing Region, which was planted with grapes only as recently as the 1960s. Dr. Konstantin Frank was the first to plant Riesling here, and it’s now become the region’s signature wine. Cellar-door hop to sample not only the Finger Lakes’ renowned wine but also its burgeoning food and craft beer scene. Whether you want to see the sights of Ithaca or tour the Finger Lakes’ cellar doors, book an RV in Tompkins County and start planning your next vacation.
