      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.

      Cute cabins and amazing views

      We 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!

      Amazing state park, crappy campground

      The state park is breathtaking. The campground is horrendous. The restrooms were disgusting. The site barely fit our one tent (8man Coleman) even though it was advertised as a two tent site. The camp fire ring had no solid base- it just sat on the grass and fires would not stay lit. The quiet hours were not enforced. Yelling and loud music kept us up until ridiculous hours. I would not rate this as family friendly.

      Letchworth State Park Campground

      Beautiful place

      Letchworth is absolutely stunning. The views are beautiful, however the scenic areas are at least a 10 minute drive from the campground. The park is massive.

      There is a huge variation in site sizes. We lucked out and got a large site with privacy and an area for the kids to run around, however the site directly across from us was little more than the gravel pad and fire pit. Some of the sites are right on top of each other. Great for group camping, not so much if you want any privacy.

      Only two out of the 8 loops (200 and 700 loops) have updated bathrooms (single toilet with handheld showers in half of the bathrooms). The others loops have older facilities with three traditional toilet stalls and two showers.

      We loved our site but would’ve preferred to stay in a loop with the updated bath houses as we have younger children and a tent trailer.

      All sites have electricity. Some loops are pet friendly, some are pet free. The camp store has a good selection of necessities, albeit expensive for discount brands. The pool is 4-5 miles down the road from the camping area.

      Would absolutely camp here again.

      Ontario County Park at Gannett Hill

      Wonderful!

      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.

      Jones Pond Campground

      Nice Secluded Campground

      Jones pond has 6 campsites located along a Jeep road, out of the boat launch parking lot. Pets are allowed, RVs can be parked at sites 1, 4, and 5 (if you have a smaller one), and there are no water/electrical hookups. There are two backwoods privies in the campground as well. Fire pits are located at all sites, except for site 3. Sites 3 and 6 are only accessible by foot. All the sites are connected by footpaths. You will need a high clearance vehicle to access site 3 - 6 due to a rough, poorly maintained jeep road. Off of the main road, there is at least two more sites around the pond, however these are poorly marked.

      Site 1 is located to the left in the boat launch parking lot. Site 2 is located to the right, just as you start to head down the Jeep road. The first privy has a trail access to the left, just after site 2. Site 4 will be the next open area you come to, on your right. The privy is in the woods on the far side. Site 3 is up the hill, opposite of site 4. I did not realize this was even a site until halfway through the summer. Continuing down the road, site 6 is accessible by foot from a parking spot at the 90 degree turn in the road. If you continue down the road, it dead ends at site 5.

      These sites are great for camping, kayaking, fishing (plenty of catfish!), and watching loons, herons, and bald eagles. The sites are located within reasonable driving distance to some hiking trails. St. Regis Firetower is not far away, and can actually be seen from sites 4 and 5! Saranac Lake is a 15 minute drive, and Lake Placid is about 35 minutes.

      I car camped at these sites on and on and off for most of the summer. It’s pretty secluded, and usually you will only be packed on summer weekends. For holiday weekends, you may end up with noisy neighbors, but the sites are spaced far enough apart that this usually isn’t a problem.

      Letchworth State Park Campground

      Hidden gem

      My husband and I just got our first camping setup (tent). Letchworth was a wonderful first experience together. The campground can be almost 15 miles from the entrance of the park at points, but we just asked someone at the visitors center and found it easily after that. The restrooms are all well kept regardless of being updated or not and the campground as a whole is very quiet. There are very active raccoons and skunks that have been pretty domesticated, so putting away food is very very important. The skunks also are not easily startled. The only downside was a large group of young guys that were being really loud and obnoxious well into quiet hours our last night, but it was nothing my pair of earplugs couldn’t fix. Also probably wouldn’t have even heard them if we were in a camper rather than a tent. Overall, it was exactly what we wanted and needed. We will absolutely be back!

      Quaker Area — Allegany State Park State Park

      Huge park, lots to do, could be better managed

      We enjoyed the hiking trails and the beach with a new modern beach house. There were lots of nature programs put on by the park. The campsites were a little too closely spaced, and no one enforced quiet hours. We could hear people laughing and carrying on all night long.

      Letchworth State Park Campground

      Good Camping inside the Park

      The campgrounds are conveniently located inside the Park so easy to get to the amazing falls towards the south as well as the dam in the north. We were in loop 300 which does not allow pets. Decent bathhouses right opposite our site. Our site was a gravel drive with a grassy area containing the picnic table and fire ring. Unfortunately due to rain the day before the grass was extremely muddy which make it hard to get to the fire ring. There was also white a lot of noise from adjacent sites, we could hear everyone's conversations and screaming kids. There was a laundry facility but no dishwashing.

    What you should know

    Reservation requirements: Most glamping near Belfast requires advance planning. At Letchworth State Park Campground, a reviewer advised, "This is a popular park so make reservations."

    Site selection considerations: Loop locations can significantly impact your experience. A camper noted, "The loops near the Lower Falls are our favorites, but any choice is a good one. All are close to the gorge/river and wooded, and connect to trails directly from your campsite."

    Payment methods: Some campgrounds have specific payment requirements. A visitor to Arrowhead Campground pointed out, "NO CREDIT CARDS; cash or check only. It makes it a little clunky to get a reservation because you have to mail in a check."

    Tips for camping with families

    Water features for kids: Several campgrounds offer splash pads and pools. A parent noted, "Just got the pop up this year and have already done 4 trips this was by far the best. So much for the kids to do with splash pad, pool, playground and Rec room. Worth every penny."

    Natural clay activities: Some sites offer unexpected creative opportunities. A family visitor to Stony Brook mentioned, "There is natural clay which my children used to make clay pots which air dried on the grass by our playground. We picked blueberries off a bush near our campsite to have with our breakfast every morning."

    Access considerations: Some campgrounds have challenging entrance roads. A visitor to The Ridge Campsite observed, "Driveway getting in and out is a little tight for big units, definitely have to swing wide. Sites are very big and clean has plenty to do with multiple fishing ponds, swimming pool and playgrounds."

    Electric-only options: Several campgrounds near Belfast offer limited hookups. A camper at Kanakadea Park advised, "Electric only, so be prepared to transport water from available spigots. Lots of things to do from paddling and fishing to hiking trails or learning about the dam."
