      Letchworth State Park Campground

      Letchworth State Park, NY

      Letchworth State Park is known as the Grand Canyon of the East and is located in Mt. Morris New York. My husband and I visited regularly when we lived near Rochester, NY. The park is stunning and is fit for camping whether you’re in a tent, RV or choosing to rent a gorgeous cabin. There are many walking and hiking trails for adventurers of all types. Make sure you bring your camera as the views are all photo worthy. The camping price is right due to the fact that the park is run by the state. A great place to stay especially in the Summer!!

      Letchworth State Park Campground

      30+ years of great memories!

      We have camped at Letchworth State Park for nearly 30 years. Recent updates to playground equipment and restroom/shower facilities have brought the amenities into the 21st century. The price is reasonable, and the park is a gem. A couple cons to consider: pets only allowed in three loops. Quite often, pet loop reservations are maxed quickly. There is a two dog limit, which excludes many campers. If you are used to private campgrounds, realize that services are limited here. Mediocre camp store and laundry; both get the job done, but leave a lot to be desired.

      Good weekend campsite

      Not technically in the Finger Lakes but still one of the most beautiful parts of Western New York State. Splurge and eat at the Glen Iris Inn! Great for cycling and hiking but no swimming. I love taking visitors here in all seasons but in autumn it is exceptional. I’ve stayed in a few tent sites and all are wooded and pretty private with your standard basic amenities. This is a popular park so make reservations.

      The Grand Canyon of the East!

      I went to college right near Letchworth State Park so I spent many wonderful weekends there! There is a reason why they call it the Grand Canyon of the East. Not only can you check out the beautiful waterfalls, but there are also many awesome trails, rivers, and caves to check out. When I would camp, we would rent a camp site with our tent but, you could camp with your RV or even rent a cabin. Ive gone every month of the year, but these pictures were from my birthday in January. Letchworth is one of the best parks in New York state and a definite must see!

      Letchworth State Park Campground

      Letchworth State Park

      My son and I have a new favorite campground.  We absolutely fell in love with this park.  I find it odd that even though I grew up only an hour away, we never camped there.  Big mistake!  There are many trails to hike on and beautiful views of the gorge and river.  You have to drive to many of the places but it's worth it.  There are many souvenir and snack stands as well as a pool (again, you have to drive to them).  The camp store is small but well stocked with a laundry attached. Some loops allow pets and others don't.  If you want to bring your pet, please check to make sure you reserve a pet-friendly loop. Unfortunately for us, it rained the entire time we were there so we never got to walk the trails or use the pool.  Keep an eye out for other activities.  There are balloon rides, craft shows, etc. that happen throughout the summer. With so much to do in the park, you don't really need to leave but nearby is the Arcade and Attica Railroad.  It's a nice little ride through the countryside.  There is also a small dam that you can visit (we missed out this last time).  I highly recommend visiting.

      Letchworth State Park Campground

      Unexpected Surroundings

      In most states, those without falls like Niagara, this state park would be the pride of the land. With three serious drops in as many miles, the Genesse River winds it’s way through what locals call the “Grand Canyon of the East.” Many states try to make such claims, but this might be the closest any come to actually living up to such. It is stunning! 

      Along the river this park gives the motorist the distinct feel that she is on a parkway, not unlike Shenendoah, or Blue Ridge. Every few miles the winding pavement breaks out onto a few of the ridges and valley below, before ducking back into the forest of Western New York.

      The campground, which is about 15 miles from the major falls area, offers what many come to expect from state parks. There are a wide variety of campsites, all reservable online, which can accommodate lots of different types of camping, large RV’s, small tents, and everything in between. Most, if not all, campsites offer electrical and water is available close by.

      The bathrooms are practically luxurious by most camping standards, with single-use restroom/ showers available at all hours. The camp store offered a few grocery items, along with cold drinks, firewood and ice in addition to laundry facilities. Within a short walk were many hiking trails, an old-school fitness path, and a stellar playground where anyone under 9 years of age should get a great workout. 

      But let’s be honest, we’re not coming here for the campground, it’s the rest of the park that makes the drive worth it. So, check it out and get to know this stunning place first hand and be sure to bring a picnic basket.

      Niagara County Camping Resort

      Nice atmosphere

      Nice secluded place. Quiet surroundings with lots of stuff for kids to do. Swimming, fishing, putt putt, petting zoo. Camp sites are clean and large. Ownership is extremely friendly. Will visit again.

    Guide to Albion

    Near Albion, New York, campers can access Lake Ontario's southern shoreline with elevations ranging from 400-500 feet above sea level. The region experiences four distinct seasons with summer temperatures averaging 75-85°F and winter lows reaching 15-25°F. Most campgrounds in this area sit within a 30-minute drive of Albion and operate from early May through mid-October.

    What to do

    Hiking trails near Lake Ontario: Golden Hill State Park Campground features several shoreline trails with views of the historic lighthouse. "There is a short nature trail through the woods opposite the lake as well that goes through hard words and into wetlands," notes Erin T., highlighting the diverse ecosystems accessible to hikers.

    Fishing opportunities: Green Harbor Campground & Marina provides direct lake access for anglers. "Stayed a week, could have been longer with the great beach. Nice marina. Everything was updated and worked great," shares Bob W., referencing the well-maintained facilities for boaters and fishing enthusiasts.

    Frisbee golf courses: Several parks offer disc golf as a free activity. "There is a Frisbee gulf course, basketball court, fishing, boat launch available. I do recommend bringing your own gear," advises Jay B. about Golden Hill State Park's recreational options beyond typical camping activities.

    What campers like

    Spacious, private sites: Hamlin Beach State Park Campground receives high marks for site layout. "The sites in the loop we stayed in had about 75' between driveways, all with varying levels of trees/brush between them, very secluded," explains Benjamin C., noting the exceptional privacy compared to other parks in the region.

    Lake Ontario views: The shoreline vistas rank among top amenities. "It was glorious to sleep to the sound of waves hitting the shore and wake to the panoramic Lake Ontario view," shares Amanda P. about her experience at Golden Hill State Park, where certain sites provide direct lake visibility.

    Clean facilities: Many reviewers mention well-maintained bathrooms. "Bathrooms were very clean. Quiet campground. Lots of plays areas for kids," notes Sydney W. about Southwoods RV Resort, reflecting the general standard of cleanliness at campgrounds throughout the Albion area.

    What you should know

    Weather considerations: Lake Ontario influences local conditions year-round. "We stayed for 4 days of rain, rain and more rain. I have camped in the rain before, but, because our site was wide open with NO trees, it quickly turned into a mud pit," warns Marlene H. about her experience at Lakeside State Park Campground.

    Limited beach access: Not all lakeside parks offer swimming areas. "It's a very nice park if you want to sit by the water but dont want to touch it. theres really not much of a beach if any at all," cautions Thomas B. regarding Lakeside Beach State Park, contrasting with Hamlin Beach which features designated swimming areas.

    Cell service variability: Reception can be spotty throughout the region. "At&t reception is almost non existent," reports Rino S. about Hamlin Beach State Park, suggesting visitors should prepare for limited connectivity, especially in more remote camping areas.

    Tips for camping with families

    Multiple playgrounds: Big Guys Campground features family-friendly layouts. "All the sites are large and designed for family and friends to contact and enjoy," notes Marie, highlighting the spacious design that accommodates gatherings.

    Theme park proximity: For families seeking both camping and attractions, options exist within driving distance. "This campground is great if youre into the theme park. The bathrooms were always easy to find and clean. The staff is always very nice and helpful," shares Hannah B. about Six Flags Darien Lake Campground, located about 40 minutes south of Albion.

    Recreational activities: Many parks offer structured programming. "The campground has an activity room full of things to do. As a state park, there are a lot of different people with different values, so be ready for the occasional obnoxious family," advises Scott H. about Hamlin Beach State Park, suggesting families should expect both organized and informal social interactions.

    Tips from RVers

    Site selection guidance: Red Rock Ponds RV Resort caters to longer-term RV stays. "Nice, smaller campground with adequate sites. Appears more for permanent campers," observes Dan, indicating potential benefits for extended visits in a pet-friendly environment near Albion.

    Hookup availability: Electric sites predominate in the region. "Only thing better would be water and sewer hookups," mentions Stacey C. about Hamlin Beach State Park, suggesting RVers should prepare for partial hookups at many state park campgrounds.

    Arrival timing: Many campgrounds have specific check-in procedures. "We checked in well after the office closed (it's open until 9pm), but called ahead and it wasn't an issue at all," shares Danielle S. about Lakeside State Park, highlighting the flexibility available to late-arriving RVers when arrangements are made in advance.
