    Letchworth State Park Campground

    A little gem with a lot to do

    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!

    Willow Bay Recreation Area

    Quiet nights, Easy days

    Willow bay campground is run by the National Forest Service. The reservable lots are wide and numerous for a out of the way sight. The campground services tent sites, RV sites as well as small cabins with electricity. There is a central bathhouse near the oak loop. Closer to the boat ramp sites- most of which are tent ready, there are vault toilets. These sites are less than a mile from the North Country Trail. Other, smaller trails are here as well. The New York State lone is less than five miles away- providing access to Allegheny State Park. The closest town of note is Bradford, which is about 18 miles away. It has all you need to get your necessities. The cabins were small- one twin bed and a set of single bunks. You need to bring your own sheets. There is a small heater imbedded in the wall. It keeps things from getting too cold, as it was when I was there. Fire ring and picnic table provided. Charcoal grill as well. The only problem I had was with the wildlife. A mouse or something kep crawling in the space between the roof and ceiling. There is no cel service here, and you shouldn’t need it either. Places to visit are too numerous to mention, but I will give a shout out to the zippo case museum, absolutely a must.

    Retreat at Fern Hill

    Clean, private, swimming!

    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.

    Evangola State Park Campground

    Great campground

    We stayed here three nights to ride out a heat wave and really liked it. Sites are electric only, with a dump station available at the entrance and one in the campground loop. There are potable water spigots throughout the campground, where you awkwardly pull over to the side of the road and fill your tank. Sites are pretty much wide open, with zero separation between you and your neighbor. Most are out in direct sun but the ones along the edge have some tree cover and shade. 

    There are yurts here as well, and a playground, and a huge disc golf course. You can walk to the beach from the campground (dogs aren’t allowed on the beach). The nature center is right in the campground, by the basketball and tennis courts. 

    Showers were dirty and buggy, but they’re free and you can actually choose your own water temperature. NY State campgrounds require proof of rabies vaccinations for your dogs.

     Good cell reception for Verizon, ATT wasn’t great but the cell booster helped. Trash bins, but no recycling. Beautiful sunset on the lake.

    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.

    Niagaras Lazy Lakes Camping Resort

    Clean & Friendly

    We have camped here several times. Bathrooms are very clean along with the showers. They are cleaned on a daily basis. Store on site has just the bare amenities. Big clubhouse, 2 heated pools and a pond to fish (catch & release). Sites are big. Pet friendly. Staff are very friendly. 10-15 minutes from Niagara Falls and close to stores. It does have 2 on site laundry facilities but the dryers take a while. Enjoy going there.

    Dewdrop

    Spacious

    Campsite layouts are non traditional with large driveways and often times the tables and fire rings are below the driveway.  With this layout you get more privacy with very few sites having and overlapping with other sites. Pitching a tent was easy on the driveway and fairly level. Some sites had large high sided fire rings which take away from the fireside relaxation of a shorter camp chair. 

    Bathrooms and shower house was below the standards of many of PA State Parks which we regard as the benchmark for campgrounds at reasonable prices. 

    Boating and biking all accessible from the grounds. No need to drive to the trails at Jakes Rocks.


Guide to Collins Center

Cabin accommodations in the Collins Center region of New York typically range from rustic to modern units. Nestled at elevations between 1,400 and 2,300 feet above sea level, the area features a continental climate with warm summers averaging 75°F and cold winters reaching well below freezing. Most camping cabins near Collins Center open seasonally from May through October, with limited winter operations at select parks.

What to do

Swimming at Lake Erie State Park: Sites include access to the beach area where campers can cool off during summer months. "The beach was not close to our campsite but I drove there before checking out and walked the dog again. It was a rocky walk along the sand but a beautiful area with a playground," notes Donna A.

Hiking at Allegany State Park: The Quaker Area offers extensive trail systems through wooded terrain. "We camped here with one of our children, and hiked a couple of trails, that were beautiful!" shares Trina W. from Quaker Area.

Boating on Quaker Lake: Rental options available for exploring the water. According to a camper at Quaker Area — Allegany State Park State Park, "Allegany State Park can always be counted on for a perfect weekend. The rustic cabins offered through most of the Quaker Area are a bargain and never have a problem staying toasty on cold nights with their wood burning stoves."

Zipline adventures: Family-friendly aerial courses for all ages. A visitor to HTR Niagara Campground commented, "Lots of activities at this park, staff is friendly, clean pools, facilities, zip line, boat rentals, spacious sites, and minutes from the falls!"

What campers like

Lakeside views: Some cabins offer water proximity with sound effects. A Lake Erie State Park camper noted, "This campsite is very well maintained, with breathing room between sites. It was very quiet for most of my time. There are three women's toilet stalls and three women's shower stalls across the path from site A04."

Clean facilities: Shower houses and restrooms at most parks receive regular maintenance. At Letchworth State Park Campground, campers find "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."

Spacious sites: Many camping cabins provide enough room for outdoor activities. "This campground is FANTASTIC! When you think State Park there is almost always a compromise, but not here. We stayed on site A23 for a week in mid-July. The campground was busy, but not over-crowded," shares a Lake Erie State Park visitor.

Winter accommodations: Select cabins offer heating options for off-season use. Red House Area campers report, "We have made it an immediate family tradition to stay here for Thanksgiving. This place is great for family camping. It has a nice variety of cabins along several loops. Cabins range from rustic to downright homey."

What you should know

Limited privacy: Some sites lack natural barriers between units. At Evangola State Park Campground, "Our site was large enough, but there was no privacy. Every site is just open to all the rest. Our neighbors on one side were very nice, but in front of us had 3 large, loud dogs that scared my children the entire time."

Seasonal availability: Most camping cabins near Collins Center operate from spring through fall. Colden Lakes Resort typically serves campers from May through October with their rustic cabins, though dates vary by location.

Noise levels: Popular parks can experience louder weekends. "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."

Variable conditions: Park amenities may undergo maintenance. "At the time I went (May, 2018) the lake was reduced to about a third of its water due to maintenance, so the kayaks we brought didn't leave the roof of the car, and there was no swimming allowed."

Tips for camping with families

Easy access playgrounds: Multiple parks feature kid-friendly recreation areas. A visitor to Red House Area — Allegany State Park State Park shares, "We've been coming to this campground since I was a kid, and love the fact that you can have the amenities of home away from home. There is so much to do there including catching crayfish, fishing, going to the amplitheater, hiking, and so much more."

Nature programs: Educational activities for children throughout summer. "The park has a lot to do in the summer but a group can still have a blast in the winter," notes an Allegany State Park visitor.

Protected swimming areas: Designated beach zones with supervision during peak season. Triple R Camping Resort receives praise from families: "Clean campground with so much to do! There's definitely something for everyone here; pool, splash park, hiking trails, playgrounds, & activities for all ages are just some of the things."

Cabin location selection: Research specific unit placement before booking. "This was the most perfect family campground we've been to. The staff is very nice and they're always outside working and helping. The back sites were perfect and decent sized. They have every amenity you could need and the grounds are pristine."

Tips from RVers

Hookup variations: Electric service ranges from basic to full connections. At Triple R Camping Resort and Trailer Sales, campers note the availability of electric, water, and sewer hookups with both 30 and 50-amp service options.

Tank filling procedures: Water access points may not be at individual sites. "There are several places to get water in the camp, so be sure to fill up your tanks before you park. There is a dump station. None of the sites are full hook up."

Site dimensions: Width and length accommodate various RV sizes. "Our site wasn't crowded and the electricity was reliable. This campground has three loops. One has 30 amp power, one has 50 amp power (with a 30 amp outlet on the same pedestal) and the third loop is for tent camping."

Winter storage: Most parks don't offer off-season RV storage options. Check with individual campgrounds about their policies regarding long-term stays or storage between camping trips.
