Tucked along Log City Road in the heart of Ovid, Hidden Ponds offers a peaceful retreat where the only schedule is the sunrise.
Hidden Ponds Campground sits on a stretch of rolling Finger Lakes countryside that most people drive right past. We found it years ago and decided to share it.
Whether you arrive in a full-hookup RV, pitch a tent between the pines, or simply need a place to rest between adventures, our grounds welcome you. No crowded rows, no noise curfews that matter — just trees, quiet, and the kind of dark sky that makes you remember what the Milky Way looks like.
Every site on our grounds is screened for privacy and backed by trees. Pick the setup that fits your adventure.
Spacious, level pads nestled among mature trees. Perfect for backpackers, families, and anyone who wants to feel the ground beneath their sleeping bag.
Pull-through and back-in sites with options for full or partial hookups. Wide lanes, plenty of room to unfold your awning, and cell service that actually reaches us.
Bringing a crew? We offer larger group sites and seasonal leases for regulars who want their own piece of the pond. Long-term rates available — ask us.
We keep it simple: clean facilities, reliable services, and the kind of quiet that makes a campfire feel like an event.
Clean, well-maintained facilities with hot showers. We sweep and sanitize daily.
Fresh drinking water available on-site. Fill up your jugs and your water bottles.
30/50 Amp electric and water connections on select sites. No sewer — we keep it rustic.
Zero light pollution. Bring a blanket, a thermos, and your patience — the sky rewards you.
Direct access to local trails through the Finger Lakes woodlands. Map available at check-in.
Your four-legged friends are welcome. Leash them on the grounds and they're golden.
Each site includes a fire ring. Bring your own firewood — we don't want the local bugs complaining.
Limited cell reception. That's not a bug — it's the feature. Reconnect with what matters.
These are real shots from the grounds. No filters, no tricks — just the way it is.
"We've been coming to Hidden Ponds for three summers now. The kids still talk about the night we saw the meteor shower. No cell service, no crowds — just us and the trees."
