What you should know
Seasonal closures: Most campgrounds in the region operate only during warmer months. "We arrived for a 2 week stay in the area on 11/12. I discovered this campground was closed for the season," warns a visitor about Wayne County Fairgrounds, which closes November through March.
May flies in June: Sterling State Park experiences seasonal insect hatches. "First two nights were perfect but then the may flies hatched (in mid june) and covered everything," cautions a reviewer who otherwise enjoyed the park.
Traffic and train noise: Some parks experience noise issues. "Another big issue is how close it is to the expressway which is noisy and there are trains that go by during the night. There must be a few crossings near by because they blew the horn for 5+ minutes at 4:30am," reports a camper at Harbortown RV Resort.
Limited shade: Several campgrounds have young trees or open sites. "Sites are nice and large paved slabs, most trees are immature offering little shade," notes a Sterling State Park visitor, which can affect summer camping comfort.
