    Watkins Glen State Park Campground

    Watkins Glen State Park, New York

    Campers arriving at Watkins Glen State Park are immediately captivated by its dramatic gorge scenery, where 19 waterfalls cascade through narrow stone walls. Their campsites are nestled among hardwood forests, offering a perfect balance of sunlit clearings and shady retreats. Each site comes equipped with a picnic table and fire ring, making it easy to prepare meals after a day spent exploring the park’s famous Gorge Trail. The park’s facilities blend rustic charm with modern comforts: clean flush toilets, hot-water showers, and convenient potable water stations. Hiking enthusiasts appreciate the interconnected trail system, which includes the popular Rim Trail for elevated views of the gorge, as well as more secluded footpaths through hemlock groves. Families particularly enjoy the nearby swimming pool and easy-access picnic areas overlooking Seneca Lake. To simplify travel logistics for out-of-state visitors, many campers opt to pre-book an airport transfer so they can arrive at Ithaca or Elmira–Corning Regional Airport and head straight to the park without the hassle of car rentals. Those planning to explore multiple stops along the Finger Lakes often choose the provider’s reliable city-to-city rides for comfortable, door-to-door transportation between destinations. All in all, Watkins Glen State Park delivers an unforgettable combination of awe-inspiring gorge hikes, well-appointed campsites, and family-friendly amenities. Campers seeking both adventure and relaxation will find this New York treasure hard to surpass.

    Pine Cradle Lake Family Campground

    RV/tent campground in a beautiful setting

    This is a gated campground that we stayed at 6/30/19-7/04/19. We are NOT an RV. We own a Napier tent that hooks to our truck so that we can sleep up in the bed. However, due to it being a holiday week, the tent sites were completely booked and they only have 4(which also have water& electric). The tent sites are located in the back of the campground behind the sports field within the trees. I unfortunately didn’t get a chance to see them but they have them pictured on their website. They let us book an RV site and it was rough setting up on a gravel RV site but we understood that we were not within a normal tent element and placed an extra tarp under the tent. The campground is located at the top of some beautiful and scenic driving through farmland in Pennsylvania and you will be 30 minutes from anything like shopping or small town amenities(we drove to Walmart after setting up to get our perishables since we drive up from Virginia). Our site had water and electric, was a drive through spot for a typical RV with a section to the side of the drive through for the fire pit and picnic table. We were located right next to the shower/bathrooms/playground and had some tree coverage and shade. A lot of the RVs in the campground are permanent sites and our neighbors never showed so we had a quiet buffer but it was not a noisy campground. It appeared that they cleaned the bathrooms twice daily and we were impressed with the cleanliness of the bathroom/showers. There were 4 in the building so we never had to wait. The staff were friendly and helpful. They had a store right next to the pool area that offered common items and RV'er might need with a small grocery area as well which included bundles of wood($6 honor system after hours) and Ice($1.78 per bag). We were allowed to run an account which we paid at the end of our stay. Our campsite was required to be paid at check in. The campground is 18 acres with gravel roads, a sports field, fishing, horse shoes, bocce ball, multiple playgrounds, a rec center with some games, claw machines etc. a splash pad and salt water pool. You will be doing a lot of walking or bring your bicycles like we did. They offer scheduled activities for holidays etc and various weekend activities. You can rent non electric boats and they offer catch& release fishing without a PA license in the lake. My son caught 2 sunfish :) They have guidelines for visitors and quiet hours(my cousin came to visit us in the evenings as she lived close by). We enjoyed camping here even if we were on an RV site. We booked site 211 which had the little bit of tree coverage and was located right next to the showers/bathrooms/playground with a quick walk to the lake for fishing. Most of the other available sites in the road ahead of us had no tree coverage but closer to the lake had more trees and shade. OR, just get an actual tent site :) but they are all the way at the back of the campground, furthest from the lake so I actually preferred our site.

    Hills Creek State Park Campground

    Well established and popular- perfect for groups

    This is one of the main attractions for the area. Locals come here when the weather is nice.

    We stayed in yurts, which are round tents ($38 per night). We had a cozy wooden deck and slept four people in two bunk beds. We also had a cooking stove, refrigerator, heat and electricity.

    There is plenty of fishing and hiking to go around.

    Really recommend this campsite if you have a little extra money to spend and are looking for a light getaway with friends.

    If you're looking for a secluded place for yourself or with a loved one, I would look around the area for a less-popular campsite.

    Flint Creek Campgrounds

    Great activities, friendly hosts, full hook ups!

    Close to wine country you will find this gem of a family campground. Dog and kid friendly with activities such as wagon rides, arts and crafts, movie night and various themed weekend events. The hosts were super friendly and welcoming during our entire stay. An easy back in site with full hookups (B10) backed against a row of trees and a field that provided much entertainment of squirrels and birds. There is a camp store with very reasonable prices and accepts credit cards. Wood ($4) and ice ($2) are also for sale. There are two small cabins to rent along with a couple of family tent sites. The bathrooms/showers were clean near the camp store. Amenities include a pool, mini golf ($1/person), two playgrounds, horseshoes, a recreation center with games and movies, basketball and shuffle board. There are many seasonal campers at this campground, but all seemed friendly and welcoming as well. It truly seemed like one big happy family there.

    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.

    Conesus Lake Campground

    Camping with amenities, close to fun

    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!


Guide to Burdett

Cabin camping near Burdett, New York offers lodging options within the Finger Lakes region at elevations ranging from 800-1,000 feet above sea level. Winter temperatures can drop below freezing from December through March, while summer evenings typically cool to the mid-60s. Most cabins in the region lack plumbing and require campers to access central bathroom facilities.

What to do

Gorge hiking trails: Robert H. Treman State Park features waterfall-lined trails with various difficulty levels. "There are endless waterfalls, hiking trails, fishing holes and bird watching opportunities," notes one visitor. The rim trail provides more challenging terrain for experienced hikers.

Swimming areas: Taughannock Falls State Park Campground offers a swimming area reaching 12 feet deep with a jumping dock. "The campground is very walkable to the swimming area, which goes to 12 feet deep and has a dock to jump off of," reports a camper. The park also features relatively flat hiking trails suitable for beginners.

Wildlife observation: Multiple parks provide opportunities to observe local fauna. "Deer outside the tent, wildflowers through summer, great leaves in fall," mentions one visitor to Buttermilk Falls State Park Campground. The wooded environment supports various bird species and small mammals.

What campers like

Large playground areas: Several parks maintain playground facilities for children. At Sampson State Park Campground, "Recreation Hall, swimming, fishing, great lake front playground, camp store, hiking trails (many wheelchair friendly) and boating" are available according to a recent visitor. The playground areas provide entertainment between hiking excursions.

Wooded privacy: Many cabins offer secluded settings among trees. "The campsites are great and are all tree lined giving to a bit of privacy. As much as you get in campgrounds," reports a visitor to Watkins Glen State Park Campground. This woodland environment creates natural sound barriers between sites.

Military history: Some campgrounds feature historical significance beyond natural features. At Sampson State Park, "It has a Naval museum with many authentic items from that era. Very shady and ample bathroom, shower, and water facilities." The park previously served as a Naval training base during World War II.

What you should know

Water quality concerns: Some facilities experience water quality issues. At Ferenbaugh Campground, one camper advises, "Make sure you use a water filter, there was a lot of sediment in the water when we were there." Multiple visitors mention bringing water filters for cabin stays.

Cabin electricity variations: Electric service differs significantly between parks. Taughannock Falls cabins have electricity but no running water, while others include both. Robert Treman's electricity setup presents challenges for certain vehicles, as "Electric sites are not the best though. Rocky and unlevel. Not made for large campers."

Seasonal closures: Many facilities operate on limited schedules. Buttermilk Falls operates from May 20 to October 10, while Robert Treman extends from April 22 to November 20. Swimming areas typically close earlier than camping facilities, sometimes by early September regardless of temperatures.

Tips for camping with families

Pool alternatives: When weather threatens, some campground pools close regardless of actual conditions. A visitor to Watkins Glen/Corning KOA noted, "A lot of outdoor features for kids which were closed while we were there." Consider campgrounds with indoor recreation options as backup.

Multiple activity options: Look for campgrounds with diverse facilities. At Pinecreek Campground, visitors appreciate that "Family friendly, beautiful atmosphere, nice roomy sites, great pool and kids get to ride their bikes all over and feel safe." The open areas allow for impromptu games and activities.

Bathroom proximity: Consider cabin location relative to bathrooms. At Robert Treman, "Site 54 is very large, flat, nonelectric and well shaded with areas of sun. A long walk to the restroom." Families with young children may prefer sites closer to facilities despite potential noise from door closings.

Tips from RVers

Hookup logistics: Plan for potentially awkward electrical connections. According to Sampson State Park visitors, "Electric service boxes are shared in-between sites. This could pose an issue if your power cord is not long enough." Some campgrounds require specific cord lengths or adaptors.

Water fill logistics: Multiple campers note limited water filling stations. "There is only one source for water fill up. This could end up being a very very long wait if you arrive at the same time as other campers," warns a Sampson State Park visitor. Plan arrival times to avoid peak check-in periods.

Limited dump stations: Many parks operate with minimal waste disposal facilities. "Only 2 dump stations" mentions a Sampson visitor, which can create morning congestion on busy checkout days. Some campgrounds restrict backing procedures, noting "They don't allow pull-in camping. Campers MUST be backed in."
