      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!!

      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

      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.

      Nice and quiet

      ntmnet. Overall, this is a nice place to go camping. We camp in a tent and our site was wonderful (PT1). We were pretty much alone. The facility was nice and kept up. The bathrooms were clean and well stocked. My only complaint would be that the pet rules are not enforced. I would see five dogs from my site and only one was on a leash all the time. My dog. One dog was free to roam wherever it wanted. Owners would walk with him and let him go. He came to our site several times. We did our best to keep our dog quiet but it was difficult. The dog ended up taking "a dump" on our site. The owners had not intention of cleaning it up till I talked to them when they walked by. They sent a child who didn't clean it toroughly so I had to. Called the office but no answer. Never saw an employee making rounds checking things out. Not going back.

    Guide to Batavia

The region sits within the Great Lakes snowbelt, receiving significant lake effect snow from November through March. Most campgrounds in the area operate seasonally from May through October, with reservations strongly recommended during peak summer weekends.

    What to do

    Explore hiking trails: Letchworth State Park features multiple hiking difficulty levels across its 66 miles of trails. "Wandering around the gorge is so beautiful and relaxing the views and sights inside the park are amazing, it's almost like another world at times," notes Jason from Letchworth State Park Campground.

    Visit the local amusement park: Six Flags Darien Lake sits directly adjacent to multiple campgrounds in the area. "This campground is great if you're into the theme park. I used to go to kingdom bound and we always stayed at this campground. The bathrooms were always easy to find and clean," shares Hannah B. from Six Flags Darien Lake Campground.

    Fishing opportunities: Multiple area campgrounds offer fishing access, particularly at Darien Lakes State Park. "There are miles of hiking trails, nice 'lakes' to fish and swim in. There is a fairly new Frisbee golf course as well," explains Jeremy H., highlighting the variety of outdoor activities available beyond standard camping.

    What campers like

    Spacious, private sites: Many campgrounds in the region offer well-separated campsites. At Hamlin Beach State Park Campground, Benjamin C. notes, "The sites in the loop we stayed in had about 75' between driveways, all with varying levels of trees/brush between them, very secluded."

    Clean facilities: Campground cleanliness ranks high in visitor satisfaction. "The bathrooms are practically luxurious by most camping standards, with single-use restroom/showers available at all hours," reports Shari G. about Letchworth State Park.

    Family-friendly amenities: Many campgrounds offer extensive recreational options. "Southwoods is a beautiful campground and accommodates campers of all ages. 2 well kept pools, playgrounds, laundry facilities, mini golf, soccer, basketball," explains Hope C. from Southwoods RV Resort.

    What you should know

    Seasonal considerations: Area campgrounds have defined operating seasons. "We stayed for 2 weeks and it was so relaxing. We loved biking through the loops and by the beach at the park. There was live music at the park during the week," shares Scott H. about summer at Hamlin Beach State Park.

    Weekend noise levels: Several campgrounds experience significant weekend crowds and noise. "It was good if you're planning to go to a concert or the park. It was loud and not very relaxing," notes Nick O. about Six Flags Darien Lake Campground, highlighting the trade-off between convenience and tranquility.

    Reservation requirements: Pet friendly camping near Batavia, New York requires advance planning. "This is a popular park so make reservations," advises Amber A. about Letchworth, particularly important for those seeking pet-accommodating sites which fill quickly.

    Tips for camping with families

    Playground access: Multiple area campgrounds feature playground equipment for different age groups. Cherry Hill Campground offers "grassy exercise areas specifically for pets" along with family recreational spaces, with Sinclaire B. noting, "The grounds are well manicured without looking unnatural, the sites are very spacious."

    Swimming options: Most family-oriented campgrounds provide swimming facilities. "The campground has lots of activities like swimming, mini golf, a couple really nice playgrounds, fishing (the kids love getting sunnys and there are bass as well), an arcade, a small gym, etc.," explains Kristine B. about Lei-ti Recreation Resort.

    Theme park packages: For families seeking both camping and amusement park experiences, package deals offer value. "Campground fees include admission to the theme park. The sites are very nice and well maintained. There are campers for rent, cabins for rent, tent sites, RV sites and premium RV sites," explains Mary H.

    Tips from RVers

    Site selection considerations: RVers should research specific loop characteristics before booking. "All the utilities were placed appropriately so we didn't need any extensions. The water pressure and electric were good. Most of the roads in the park are paved with the exception of the pull-thru section in the front of the park which is gravel," explains Nancy W. about Sleepy Hollow Lake Campground.

    Hookup availability: Electric hookups are standard at most campgrounds, but full hookups vary. "Most, if not all, campsites offer electrical and water is available close by," notes Shari G. about Letchworth, an important consideration for RV camping near Batavia, New York.

    Dump station logistics: For those without full hookup sites, plan for dump station timing. "Double dump station," notes Dakota B. about Darien Lake Campground, which can reduce wait times during busy checkout periods.
