Located in Western New York state, about 45 miles southwest of Rochester, Letchworth State Park is known as the “Grand Canyon of the East.” Straddling the Genesee River for 17 miles the park encompasses more than 14,000 acres of deep river canyon and dense woodlands. The area was purchased in 1859 by William Pryor Letchworth, who recognized its natural and scenic value. He then granted it to the state in 1906 to be preserved as a public park. The park’s main attraction is the three dramatic waterfalls on the Genesee, which pour over escarpments up to 100 feet high. In addition to the spectacular scenery, the park also offers year-round outdoor recreation, from hiking, fishing and birdwatching to a variety of snow play.
The large campground in Letchworth State Park makes a good basecamp for exploring the area’s many sights and recreation opportunities. It contains 270 tent, trailer and RV sites in eight separate loops. All sites have electrical hookups, and there are water spigots, restrooms with showers, recycling stations and a dump station available. Additional accommodations in the park include camping cabins and the Glen Iris Inn. Visitors also have access to several picnic areas and playgrounds, a swimming pool, sports fields, trout pond, a museum, and nature center. Campsite rates range from $24–$26/night, plus additional fees; cabin and lodge rates vary; reservations recommended.
The best way to see many of the park’s sights is to get out and walk, hike or bike on any of the 66 miles of multiuse trails that wind through the park, and vary in distance and difficulty. The waterfalls are best viewed along the 7-mile Gorge Trail. One of the more unique and exciting ways to see the park is by hot air balloon. Other activities in the park include paddling on the river, nature programs, guided walks, and interpretive exhibits. The park also offers some of the best birdwatching in the state. In winter, many of the park’s trails become snowshoe and cross-country ski routes, and a few are even open to snowmobiles, so no matter what time of year you visit, there’s a way to play outdoors.
Watkins Glen State Park is the most famous of the Finger Lakes State Parks, with a reputation for leaving visitors spellbound. Within two miles, the glen's stream descends 400 feet past 200-foot cliffs, generating 19 waterfalls along its course. The gorge path winds over and under waterfalls and through the spray of Cavern Cascade. Rim trails overlook the gorge. Camping near Watkins Glen allows you to enjoy the Olympic-size pool, scheduled summer tours through the gorge, tent and trailer campsites, picnic facilities and excellent fishing in nearby Seneca Lake or Catherine Creek, which is renowned for its annual spring run of rainbow trout.

Our second KOA experience. We rented a deluxe cabin which was clean and spacious; give 4-4.5/5 for the cabin. Our site on the end and looking at the other sites around - great sites! Again would give a 4-4.5/5 there as well. The let downs - the lack of maintained grounds other than the sites and the extracurricular activities were a huge let down! Half of the advertised activities were closed including bumper boats and the rock wall. The indoor pool had truncated hours and the hot tub was sporadically open. Thank God for the water slide pool and golf cart to entertain the kids. The kiss did enjoy the Gaga ball pit, community events and play ground. We didn’t get to mini golf. Amenities could have been cleaner but still decent. If everything were available then 4/5 would be appropriate. Staff were great though! 5/5 for that.
GuideWatkins Glen/ Corning KOA this is a nice KOA in the Watkins Glen area. Our site was a full hookup site. Campground offered clean sites with gravel drives and grass areas between them. Offers your typical KOA amenities with a huge outdoor pool, indoor pool and hot tub, water slide, rock wall structure, zip line and mini golf which were part of our site fee price.

Cabin campers here at letchworth for the past two years. We stumbled on cabin camping at letchworth due to weekends being booked for almost the entire summer for tent spots. the cabins are spacious, with bunk beds, a stove, fridge, and a fire place. i thought they might be close together, yet they were all pretty private, with a fire ring and picnic table. There was a beautiful updated playground, and clean bathrooms. Last summer they had just opened the new nature center with guided hikes, and activities all summer long.
Great for the falls, swimming, hiking, white water rafting, kayaking and so much more!
ScoutI 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!
LegendLetchworth 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!!

We spent father's day weekend at the KOA. Our kids rented cabins and some used tents and others came for the day. The campground has do much to do between swimming, golf , bike and paddle boat rentals. There's Ziplines with treetop walk and a bounce. And even a play area for your dogs.

We stayed here at the beginning of August and brought 3 children ages 10, 9, and 5. We did not realize this campground’s sites were so close together. And most of the sites were gravel lots. If you’re coming to enjoy boating or the like, it is probably about perfect. As long as you don’t mind the dust and dirt from all of the gravel and the mediocre bath houses. Their swimming pools were very nice on the other hand. They had a 1-1.5 foot kiddie pool and a large graduating pool with the water being about 80 degrees is guess. They also have a jacuzzi. There are water and electric hook ups which is nice even when tent camping. It isn’t exactly what we expected, but there are lots of trails through the woods and of course you have the Allegheny there. The campground isn’t exactly beautiful but we’ve decided to give it a chance. We will try a cabin next time and see if the nicer lots make the whole experience that much better.

Great secluded tent camping (recomend numbers 7 and 8), cabins are new and ample beds and space. Camper camping is close to everything, but less privacy. Numerous pavilions that are wonderful for parties or weddings. Stunning overlook that is breathtaking (also great for weddings). Hiking, bike trails, fishing pond, playground, open fields for sports, much more!!! Great for photo shoots, weekend stress getaways etc. I live close by and visit a few times a month.

This is your typical Mom and Pop family campground, there are rules to follow but they do not hinder on your experience. They have a well stocked camp store, boat rentals, golf cart rentals, an indoor heated pool, jump pad, playgrounds, a hiking trail and frisbee golf. The bottom portion of the campground has mostly seasonal campers and cabins. You do have to go up a pretty steep hill to get to the 'transient' camping section, but there are many pull through, level, full hook up sites to choose from. ( We had site 250 and really liked it) The bathrooms were toilet/shower combos and were very clean. Attractions close by is a drive-in with 4 different screens, many places to eat, parks ( Vitale Park was really nice), a fun center with mini golf, go carts, batting cages, laser tag and arcade. We also experienced the local flea market in Avon, NY. It's HUGE!

Stayed here multiple times. Cabin is clean, large firepit, huge patio, great swimming pond with a slide. Cabin included many kitchen items as well as there being a full size freezer/fridge, tables and chairs on the patio. Pet Friendly but no fenced area.

We spent 5 nights at this campground at the end of June 2020. The modern cabins are available for a week at a time in the summer. We paid for the week but knew we could only stay for 5 nights. We were impressed with the 2 bedroom cabin. The kitchen had the usual plus a microwave, toaster and coffee pot. The furniture was comfortable for a cabin and the porch was delightful to sit on during a rainy morning. There are multiple trails around the park that are well maintained. The beach area is small but nice and the concession stand was open every day but Monday. We weren’t impressed with the camping area. There was very little shade in most campsites so we were glad we had a cabin. Overall we had a fantastic time at the park and exploring the area.
GuideLetchworth has a few options: cabin, barebones cabin, and a few tent sites. I’ve stayed several times. We’ve hiked, white water rafted, gone to the pool, playgrounds, etc. The park is huge and absolutely gorgeous. You can easily spend a week here and have plenty to do in the park as well as the local towns. You can tour the dam as well. The views along the road through the park are incredible. Go to Letchworth. You will love it.
Guidethis park is just beautiful I have stayed in both a cabin and a tent here and both are very nice sites tent sides being slightly more secluded then the cabin. however having your own bathroom in a canin is great to. the views here are amazing there are alot of trails to hike some eay some moderate but all are very clearly marked and easy to follow. if your looking for a nice place to camp this should definatly be on your list.

We stayed in the cabins. Bathrooms were clean. Had a pool and playground. Friendly staff.

One of my favorite places to camp. Very quiet. Owners are super nice. Everything is extremely clean. Cabins are amazing.
RangerThe cabin was excellent with all amenities. Trees on our plot perfect for a hammock. You could get on the trail easily and hike the lake the tempted you from the cabin as the sun glistened off the water. During the hike you would pass a red pine plantation, a reminder of the Civilian Conservation Corps. I want to go back there every year. Not just because it is so close to the PA Grand Canyon/Pine Creek Gorge but because this was our honeymoon. Covid-19 forced a change I am so thankful for.
RangerWe loved the cabin, the trail by the lake, the easy access to all parts of the Pine Creek Gorge and Wellsboro.
TravelerSuper easy hikes with an awesome old railroad bridge.
There are multiple waterfalls with river access for kayaking.
There is cabins scattered throughout the park and paved paths for biking or walking.

There was a great WiFi connection, so it was difficult to get my boys to go explore! We have a 35 foot travel trailer and had zero difficulty backing into a W/E spot. Gravel pads, decent space between RVs. We did need our extra hose to reach our spigot but I think that was unusual. The dump station was easy to get to and clean when we left.
Playgrounds, beach, mini-golf, dog park, bounce pillow, basketball, volleyball, movie nights, wagon rides twice a day with Jellystone characters, lots of daily activities, water park, kayaks, SUP’s, canoes, LIFEGUARDS!... ALL INCLUDED. My kids did mini-golf 4 times. Snack bar (with good wings and delivers!). Golf cart rentals. What was I most impressed with? Trash pickup. You put it in front of your site, somebody picked it up. Any time of day.
There were three types of cabins I saw, but didn’t go inside. You could fish in the pond. The website says Laser Tag but we didn’t explore that far. The town is teeny tiny so no good grocery store around. The grounds were well kept. Niagara Falls were a little more than an hour away. Great day trip!
We we will come back next year and bring our cousins!

Nice low key campground. The sites do seem a little packed. There are cabins that are totally worth spending the money on. The pool is nice, they have a nice restaurant and cute peacocks.
GuideWe stayed in a cute cabin with running water, a stove, and a heater for cold nights! Outside we had a picnic table and a campfire pit. The park itself has amazing hiking with awesome views. Highly recommend!
LegendOur family loved the modern cabins which are available in my of Pennsylvania's state parks. I'd rank any other park that we visit with a five star rating. The staff at other parks will let my family check in before 3:00pm if the cabin is ready.The swim area is one of the best around. Playgrounds are fun& the snack stand is a little expensive, but delicious!I think we picked the week with the most rain of the year to camp but it was still a lot of fun. The hike around the lake is not that long and a pretty easy walk. We did it with a 5 year old and he had no complaints. The nature talks were really fun for the kids and interesting for the adults.

Watkins Glen is like nothing else I've seen anywhere in the country. The geology of the area creates layered rock formations through which canyons form. They are very grey and green with lovely cascading waterfalls and rivers. Such gorges can be found all over the Finger Lakes area of Western NY, but Watkins Glen is the gem of the whole area. More waterfalls than you can count! Most trails are fairly well-developed with stone paths and stone stairs but can be very steep.
Only swim/wade and hike where permitted!!! Children and drunk adults seem to drown every summer by swimming in deceptively calm areas that lead to extremely deep and/or swift water. There are also very steep drop-offs if you leave the trail. This is not a dangerous site as long as you follow the rules.
Tons of trails, lots of swimming options, many many other state parks in the area. Camp here for quite a few days and then explore the whole area, including "hippie" college town Ithaca. Exceptionally high quality State Park facilities, including all the usual amenities, plus more like canoe/boat rentals. All kinds of camping options, from tents to cabins. Make sure you reserve in advance! We've camped at lots of different sites over the years and each has been great. Accessible sites are excellent.
LegendMy boyfriends family rented out all the cabins for a weekend and it was great! We used the open area to set up volley ball and it was nice having the mini fridge. The only con was the weather! We were there during a crappy time so it was super foggy.

Jake from the Dyrt here! This creekside cabin has all the seclusion you need for a proper escape into nature. They also have a tower you can climb for even better views from within the forests! Check them out and make sure to leave a review on the Dyrt of your stay!
ScoutCampground was nice! Our cabin was barebones but it was clean had a tv, small refrigerator a bunk bed and full. Plenty of room for two people! Has a lot of kid friendly activities. Really close to Seneca lake which is a plus for sight seeing and of course wine tasting 💕
GuideThis park is absolutely breathtaking and is one of my absolute favorite places on the east coast. The camping is all right; it's mixed tent and rv, but the cabins are great and they're a pretty good deal. Many feature heating and are available even in colder months. Camping isn't too expensive and the facilities are well-maintained.
