TravelerSpent a peaceful night car camping in site 151. Beautiful trees, nice shower houses, quiet neighbors. Just a beautiful and very affordable - $32 - stay. We’ll be back whenever we pass this way.
ScoutI would never return to this campground. We rented a golf cart, and while going downhill, the rear wheel came completely off because the lug nuts were not secured. My 1-year-old and 6-year-old were on the cart, and we were extremely fortunate that no one was injured. When I expressed how serious and upsetting this was and how close my children were to being injured the owner’s response was,“But were they?” When I explained that my children were thankfully not injured but were shaken up by the incident, he sarcastically questioned whether my 1-year-old could be traumatized. They did provide us with another golf cart afterward, but I consider that the bare minimum after being given an unsafe rental. After the apparent lack of proper inspection of the cart and the ill-mannered response to such a serious safety issue, I would never recommend this campground.
GuideThis was a great camping trip! We had site 29, nice spot with the North Rim trail right behind our site. Trails are beautiful. Restroom and shower close. You do need to be careful, lots of oaks trees and falling acorns! Easily dings you car hood, watch where you park. Close to down town for a visit to the awesome farmers market in Ithaca.
TravelerClean, safe RV park off a small lake. Functioning electric and water hookups as well as sewage. Very kind and helpful owners and friendly campers.
GuidePros: clean, good location,nice bathrooms,hot showers nice playground.
Cons: this cabin was on main thoroughfare,so people and traffic, stiff mattresses, very large religious group singing and playing loud music.
TravelerSecond year we have camped here in June prior to the IMSA race at the racetrack. The sites are all spread out with a nice tree canopy. There are two loops (Mohawk and Seneca) with electric, and 5 more for tent camping or boon docking RV. There is a trail that connects directly with the state park with all the waterfalls. Water spigots onsite liberally spread out and the showers/ toilets pristine. With my senior America pass it cost me $103 for 3 days. Love this place
ScoutEverything was great, RIGHT UP UNTIL some inconsiderate neighbor rolled in with their RV and let their generator roar from 7am to 10pm, ALL. DAY. If you’ve ever had to endure that mind-numbing drone, you know exactly how close it comes to making you lose your mind. We ended up cutting our trip short just to escape it. Absolutely miserable, selfish people who clearly don’t care who they ruin a trip for
TravelerWe thought the campground was beautiful, tight to your neighbors on majority of sites, and lack of trash cans for pet waste especially since the campground is so big. It has ball field, 2 playgrounds, rec room, camp store, lake Ontario to swim, trails for multi use, and pavillions. Down fall for us was small site , lack of trash cans to toss pet waste, not being told about fill station because there is no water faucets like most state parks along campground. We were there for first time so not familiar with park. Office did not offer us a map to get to our site or clue us in on filling our tank prior to parking camper. Main gate personnel not on same information. bathrooms could be cleaned more often. bathhouse building is all gender with bathrooms on one side of building and showers on other. Bathroom and showers are private space rooms. Beach is very rocky with little sand area. Life guards only guard one side of beach making everyone crowded to one side
ScoutThe problems started before we even arrived. When I called to make a reservation, the owner was rude and impatient, repeatedly complaining that he couldn't hear me, despite me having full service. I discovered cell service at the campground was spotty, which made his attitude even more frustrating in hindsight. I told him it would be us and our dog, his immediate response was,"IT'S NOT A PIT BULL, IS IT?" in a hostile tone. I said no, she's an American Staffordshire, and my husband's service dog. He rudely replied that it was"THE SAME THING" and that they have breed restrictions. When I asked whether he was denying us, he avoided answering and demanded"legal paperwork" for her. I told him that no such paperwork exists, but she is trained to perform a task. He completed the reservation, took my payment, gave us a site number, and hung up. Since the office was closed and we had already been assigned a site number and paid, we assumed we could go directly to our site and finish any details in the morning. While setting up, the owner drove over and confronted us for not reporting to the office first. He then demanded proof of rabies vaccination, which is reasonable. We apologized that we had forgotten the paperwork and said we'd email it to him first thing in the morning. We were extremely annoyed that we saw multiple pit bulls as soon as we pulled in the campground. The next morning, we emailed the records to the campground around 10:10 AM, exactly as promised, as soon as our vet's office had opened. About 11:00, the owner left a voicemail demanding that we leave the property immediately because he had not received the paperwork. I called back and asked him to check his email again, he accused me of sending it to the wrong address. I told him that if he still couldn't find it after checking again, I would come to the office once I was dressed. 30 minutes later, he left another voicemail saying he had escalated it to the sheriff's office because we had not complied. Meanwhile, my husband was already walking to the office to handle things and the owner informed him that we were no longer welcome and that he had called the sheriff's office. Again, my husband told them to check their spam folder, and the email had been there all along. We communicated throughout the entire process and did exactly what we said we would do. The owner's son was far more reasonable and they did apologize, but it didn't make the situation right. The sites were tight, muddy, unlevel, and had awkwardly placed hookups. We were packed so close together that the row behind us overlapped the rear of our camper by a few feet. We had to share water with the neighboring site through a splitter at the spigot. We didn't use the restrooms or amenities because after our interactions with management, we felt completely unwelcome. We only stayed because we were in town for our grandson's first birthday and couldn't find another campground on such short notice.
Green Lakes State Park Campground offers cabin camping opportunities located 8 miles from Marietta in central New York. Situated in the gently rolling hills of Onondaga County at an elevation of 1,180 feet, the park features two meromictic lakes with waters that maintain distinct layers throughout the year. The campground sits amid mature hardwood forest, providing a mix of shaded and partially open camping areas with hookup sites that remain available through mid-October.
Swimming and boating activities: At Cayuga Lake State Park Campground, visitors have lake access for swimming and water activities. "Kayaking in Cayuga Lake was not lacking some beautiful views," notes Laura Nicole A. The park has a boat launch area, and the designated swimming area is clean and easily accessible.
Waterfall exploration: Robert H. Treman State Park Campground features swimming at the base of a waterfall with distinctive amenities. "You can swim in the waterfall area here. Need I say more?" writes Matt G., who recommends visiting outside peak summer periods when the swimming area can get crowded.
Hiking options: Multiple trails with varying difficulty levels surround the camping areas. "The gorge trail can be very strenuous," advises Matt G. from Robert H. Treman, while at Watkins Glen State Park Campground, "the Rim Trail [provides] elevated views of the gorge, as well as more secluded footpaths through hemlock groves," according to one visitor.
Privacy levels: Campsites at Sampson State Park Campground offer spacious layouts with good separation. "Spacious campsites, electric and water hook ups. Bathhouses are clean," reports Michele D. The sites are arranged to maximize distance from neighboring campers, with wooded areas between many sites.
Clean facilities: Multiple campgrounds maintain well-serviced bathroom facilities. "The bathrooms were very clean and had dish washing stations in them," notes Stephanie C. from Sampson State Park, while at Watkins Glen, "some of the shower houses are better than others," according to Lori F.
Family-friendly amenities: Parks offer recreational options beyond natural features. "There is a nice pool for the kids. Well priced $42 per night for full hookups," comments Jim C. at Junius Ponds. Many campgrounds include playgrounds, game areas, and organized activities on weekends.
Reservation requirements: Most glamping sites near Marietta require advance booking, especially during peak season. "Reservations recommended especially during summer weekends," advises Jim C. about Junius Ponds.
Site specifics: Campsite quality varies significantly within each park. "Electric sites are not the best though. Rocky and unlevel. Not made for large campers," warns Victoria about Robert H. Treman State Park.
Seasonal restrictions: Swimming areas and some facilities have limited operating seasons. "Bummed that we missed out on the waterfall and swimming area! The swimming area was closed for the season by the time we arrived," reports Emma N., who visited Robert H. Treman in September.
Park regulations: Lake Bluff Campground and other parks enforce quiet hours and visitor rules. "Due to Covid-19, there is to be no interaction with other campers and a mask must be worn when walking around campground," noted Eric B., though rules may have changed since that review.
Playground proximity awareness: Choose campsites strategically based on noise preferences. "Be weary that some of the camp sites are closer to playgrounds than they appear on the map," advises Jeremy T. from Cayuga Lake State Park.
Water safety considerations: Swimming areas vary in depth and supervision. "The beach area is wide and shallow in most areas," reports a camper from Green Lakes, while at Lake Bluff, one visitor mentions their "large, private plot in drumlin loop. Close to the beach which was very pretty and clean."
Activity planning: Parks offer scheduled programming for children. "They do events for kids every weekend," shares Sara H. about Lake Bluff Campground, which also features a "pool, frog pond, catch and release fishing."
Hookup logistics: Electric hookups at Sampson State Park require planning. "Electric service boxes are shared in-between sites. This could pose an issue if your power cord is not long enough," warns Amanda K., who also notes "There is only one source for water fill up. This could end up being a very very long wait."
Site selection guidance: Roads within some campgrounds present challenges. "The roads within the campground were kind of tight to get through with trees and curves," reports Laura L. about navigating Watkins Glen with a 30-foot motorhome.
Seasonal camper considerations: Some campgrounds have numerous permanent residents. "Too many seasonal campers and their golf carts. These fine folks never stop driving and take the time to walk," notes Ryan D. about Junius Ponds, though he concludes it's "all in all a very nice place to camp."
