Green Lakes State Park Campground welcomes pets across its varied accommodation options including tent sites, RV spots, and cabins. The park features numerous hiking trails perfect for dog walking, with a scenic 2-mile path circling the distinctive blue-green lakes. Morgan Hill State Forest and Stoney Pond State Forest both offer pet-friendly primitive camping where dogs can join their owners exploring the extensive trail networks. Visitors appreciate the pet-friendly beach area at Green Lakes, though dogs must remain on leash throughout all campgrounds. The campground's recently updated facilities include clean bathrooms and shower buildings accessible to campers with pets.
The 15 drive-in sites at Stoney Pond State Forest Camping Area provide spacious, wooded spots where pets can enjoy natural surroundings. Most pet-friendly campgrounds in the region require dogs to be leashed at all times, with maximum leash lengths typically set at six feet. Hiking the Onondaga Trail from Morgan Hill Forest campground takes dogs and their owners through beautiful wooded terrain to scenic spots like Tinker Falls. When camping with pets, visitors should prepare for ticks during spring and early summer months, as reviews note they can be prevalent in these wooded areas. The Villages RV Park at Turning Stone offers another pet-friendly option with full hookups, featuring well-maintained grounds and pet exercise areas. Most campgrounds provide pet waste stations and require owners to clean up after their animals.

GuidePinecreek is a beautiful park in a great area 10 minutes from downtown Ithica New York and Lake Cayuga. The area has everything you could possibly want or need. Fabulous State Parks with spectacular waterfalls, a farmers market right on the lake front, Cornell University and so much more. That being said it may be the reason the campground doesn't offer any planned activities. They do have a swimming pool and what appears to be a large clubhouse/meeting area that is not or was not used while we were there, nor were any activities publicized. They do have a small arcade but it did not stay open past 8 pm and did not appear to be air-conditioned.
Our campsite was a full hookup with a large grassy area for setting up our outside chairs and picnic table. Although we enjoyed our stay we felt it was a bit overpriced for not having much to offer. They also have a very long list of rules & while they do allow pets there is a list of breed restrictions you need to be aware of before booking a reservation. They also charge for electricity on any stays one week or longer which we had not encountered previously at campgrounds where we have stayed.
Overall we enjoyed our stay but not sure we would stay again.
TravelerThis was the sweetest campground around!! They deliver fire wood right to your site along with anything else you need. Free delivery of amazing pizza on Friday nights(delivered by a 1969 pink beetle!!). There is a giant river, a dog park and the camp ground is close to town, but far enough away so that you still feel like your camping! Amazing bathroom/shower facilities and a clean swimming pool:)
LegendJake from the Dyrt here! Nature Lover's Paradise is new to the Dyrt and they have an awesome spot to share with access to a vast network of trails in upstate New York. Check them out and make sure to share some pics of your adventure!
RangerDelta Lake State Park sits at the foothills of the Adirondack Park, just outside Rome, New York. Pretty and well-kempt, Delta Lake is a nice option for those looking to stay close to home and within proximity to civilization. You can enjoy the great outdoors, while only being a few miles away from a restaurant or grocery store.
The campground isn‘t the best I’ve experienced, a bit on the crowded side-similar to a woodsy suburb- but this could have been distinctive to Loop A where I stayed. I stayed in site 35 and was intermixed with all the campers and RV’s, so it got a bit noisy. Not that restful, secluded experience I typically go for, but I should have planned further in advance.
However, what the park lacked in terms of its campground, it totally made up for in its beach, swimming and picnic areas! This place was awesome for hosting a birthday party for my niece and relaxing at the beach/ day facilities. They have plenty of picnic tables, charcoal grills, a huge beach and locker rooms. This is really a great place to spend a day with your family!
GuideNew York State pretty much has abandoned this park. Trees fallen down across the sites. Might be ok for a tent but that’s all.
LegendLocated in Tompkins County, Ithaca New York has beautiful gorges and hiking trails. Robert Treman is a treat and a gorgeous place to camp in the Ithaca, NY area. There are endless waterfalls, hiking trails, fishing holes and bird watching opportunities. The campground has bathrooms, showers, picnic tables, a playground and a dump station. There are cabins, tents and rv sites, some of which are handicapped accessible. Ithaca is also packed with wineries and the finger lakes. A great place to visit!
LegendThis is a campground set in a nice forest location, but close by to Treman State Park and Ithaca, so a good base for day trips. They offer mostly RV camping, but do have a substantial area for tent camping and also have nice some rustic camper cabins as well as cottages and regular full service cabins. For families who enjoy neighbors, this is a good campground. Lots of families, lots of kids riding bikes and doing activities, nice kid-friendly fishing pond, lots of open space for ball games etc. There is even an offleash dog park so Fido can come along and have fun. This is a busier campground than I ordinarily would have chosen as a tent camper, but I was joining friends for a cabin stay on Labor Day weekend as nearby state park campgrounds were full. The whole grounds are well maintained and well landscaped, they did have some scheduled activities, and the pool looked sparkling clean. The cabin we stayed in was very nice, and set back into the woods along a small river and with good access to hiking trails. The camper cabins looked brand new, and I spoke to a family staying in one and they really liked it. My friends son loved the fishing, swimming, and meeting other kids to play with. The campground was not noisy for the size, and though it was large and nearly full everything was nice and all the campers respectful of each others space. Ithaca is not far for activities and supplies, and there are many local state parks that are easy to get to. I would rather camp right in a state park but this would be a great alternative especially for folks with RVs
GuideThis is our 4th experience at a Jellystone. The campground was clean and staff was super nice. Organized the Halloween activities nicely. Yogi and the characters were very involved. For the fisherman, it's located on Salmon River and appears to have quite a lot of large salmon this time of year. I was shocked at the size of the fish that were being cleaned. My husband believes that area of the river was a private sector for the campground. Smaller campground than others I have been too but made it nice for kids to rides bikes safely since there weren't golf carts located at this campground. What I didn't enjoy as much. 1) The sites were muddy, especially when it had recently rained. Luckily we came after it rained and it had dried out some. 2) the dog park was a walking area, not a fenced in yard for them to let some of their energy out 3) No sewer hookups available but does had a dump station on your way out.
Camping opportunities near Delphi Falls, New York range from developed state park facilities to primitive forest sites. The region sits along the Central New York glacial formation zone where several kettle lakes feature distinctive blue-green coloration. Summer temperatures typically reach highs in the 80s with evening lows in the 60s, while spring camping often requires preparation for muddy conditions at many sites.
Swimming in kettle lakes: Green Lakes State Park offers a large swimming beach with lifeguards present during summer months. The beach area includes amenities for families and individuals seeking water recreation. "The water is Crystal clear and very blue, you will think you are in the Caribbean Islands. We visit this park very frequently to rent a boat or to hike the trails," notes Kenneth S. about Green Lakes State Park Campground.
Gorge hiking: Fillmore Glen State Park features multiple waterfalls and gorge trails suitable for day hiking from campsites. The natural environment provides opportunities for photography and nature observation. "The 60 camp sites are in private areas protected by wooded areas, but for the less adventurous there are fully serviced cabins available. Activities include hiking on many trails, fishing swimming, and what I thought was unique was the spring fed swimming pool," shares Brian O. about Fillmore Glen State Park Campground.
Fishing access: Multiple campgrounds provide fishing opportunities with boat launches for non-motorized watercraft. "There is a small boat launch meant for canoes and kayaks and small non motorized fishing boats, alongside a gravel peninsula for shore fishing. The pond is pretty with mature shade trees, and the campground also has a trailhead to access a large network of hiking trails," describes Janet R. about Stoney Pond State Forest.
Backpacking: The Morgan Hill State Forest contains trail networks connecting to the Onondaga Trail branch of the National North Country scenic trail. These trails pass through mature forests with diverse terrain. "You can backpack the various trails and camp at your own site if you leave no trace. You need to bring your own water, there is none provided here, and be prepared to pack out your own garbage."
Direct lake access: Sites along Oneida Lake provide immediate water access with parking close to tent sites. "Nice campground with water and electric only. Close to beach. Bathroom at campground. And nice bathhouse over near beach with pass entry for campers only for showers," explains Deborah G. about Oneida Shores County Park.
Full hookup options: Several campgrounds offer complete RV hookups with electrical, water, and sewer connections. "This state park campground is one of the few that offer full hook ups. The bathrooms have been remodeled and most are private with a toilet, shower and sink which makes this a wonderful family campground," notes Sheri S. about Green Lakes State Park.
Private campsites: Many campers appreciate the spaciousness and privacy found at state forest camping areas. "This is a primitive state forest campground on the south shore of Stoney Pond. There are 15 drive-in campsites widely spaced and set into the woods, and two developed walk-in sites on the west shore," explains Janet R. about Stoney Pond State Forest Camping Area.
Proximity to local amenities: The region offers access to nearby towns and services while maintaining a natural camping experience. "I enjoy this park so much! Really love that it is a park in the middle of little towns. Close to grocery, great walks and fun lake to swim in," shares Kelly J.
Shower facilities vary: Some campgrounds have limited shower access with varying quality. "As clean as the bathrooms are, the showers still suck. I'll never understand why parks use the misting shower heads. It's best to use the ADA bathrooms because those shower heads are normal and have wands," advises Chelsea B.
Reservations needed: Most campgrounds fill quickly during peak season, especially on weekends. Advance booking is recommended for all established campgrounds in the region. "We did our usual reservation-less 'pull up and see what they have open' style of camping, but during the main season, this place is nuts! You'll definitely need to plan ahead and make reservations."
Noise considerations: Some campgrounds experience noise issues from neighboring campsites or nearby attractions. "We were the only tent campers around and the RV groups were loud late and early. We struggled to sleep because of the noise. Tent campers beware," cautions Kayleigh K. about Fillmore Glen State Park Campground.
Seasonal operations: Most campgrounds in the region operate from May through October, with specific opening and closing dates. "This place is beautiful and very clean. The water is Crystal clear and very blue. We visit this park very frequently to rent a boat or to hike the trails," mentions Kenneth S.
Playground access: Multiple campgrounds feature dedicated playground facilities for children. "The beach area is wide and shallow in most areas. In close proximity to the store and snack shop. The beach also has a great playground for kids that is perfect for play and swim," notes a visitor to Green Lakes.
Water safety: Designated swimming areas with lifeguards operate at several parks during summer months. "Camped here twice now. The beach is great. You cannot bring your own kayaks you have to rent. Fun hiking area the water is gorgeous. Great playgrounds. Bathrooms and showers were very clean," shares Sara H.
Educational opportunities: Some parks offer historical elements for family learning experiences. "There is a cabin on site that is the replica of Millard Filmore's youth (13th President of the United States). Loved the area and the beautiful scenery on the hiking trails a must visit for those wanting to get back to nature," shares Brian O.
Dog-friendly options with restrictions: Several dog friendly campgrounds near Delphi Falls allow pets with specific rules. "Nice and calm place in that little State Forest. Internet and fire pits are available. All sites seem fairly similar, except two are tent-only," notes Martin W. about Morgan Hill Forest—Onondaga Trailhead campground.
Site leveling: RV campers should be aware of site grading at some campgrounds. "Sites are good, level, and the campsite is pretty," notes Chelsea B. about Green Lakes State Park.
Shuttle services: The Villages RV Park provides shuttle transport to nearby attractions. "Convenient to the highway with 24 hour shuttles to the casino 5 minutes away, yet quiet and beautifully maintained," explains April L. about The Villages RV Park at Turning Stone.
Hookup availability: Electric, water, and sewer connections vary by campground and specific site. "There are many sites with electric available at every site. There are some sites with full hook-up available and also specific areas that allow pets," notes Cindy H.
Site selection for privacy: RV campers should research specific site locations for optimal spacing. "The sites in the middle section of the campground don't really have designated boundaries, while those around the edges are more traditionally divided. There is literally no privacy between any of the sites."
