ScoutRiverbend East was a nice stop during our trip through central New York. Our site needed a couple of leveling blocks, which is completely normal with our RV, and once we were settled everything worked out perfectly. The water and sewer hookups were convenient, the showers were available when we needed them, and the campground had a calm, outdoorsy atmosphere. We would stay here again when traveling through the area.
ScoutThe sites are spacious, the campground feels natural and wooded, and there is enough room to enjoy your own space. We have met some wonderful people and look forward to coming back each week.
ScoutThe campsite itself was extremely buggy and it was a bit further into the road then I thought to get to the second campsite. But once we got there it was open and well marked
ScoutWe decided to bring our camper to Riverbend East for the whole season this year, and it has been a great experience. The campers around us have been friendly, and the campground has a relaxed community feel.
ScoutThis is our second season at Riverbend East, and it has really become our summer home away from home. Our lot is large enough that we have been able to make the site comfortable without feeling crowded by the campers around us. We love the trees, the peaceful atmosphere, and being close to the water. It is nice knowing that whenever we have a free weekend, our camper is already set up and waiting for us.
GuideHad a great time. The sites are very spacious. Bathrooms and showers fine. Very pretty. Learned this is a BIG lake, for motor boats, not really for kayaks.
GuideThe bathrooms were nice and clean and the pool looked nice. Mostly seasonal campers and Cooperstown tourists. Very crowded and packed into spots tight. The golf carts are out of control…flying by, loud music and flashing lights until midnight. Even the amount of traffic coming in and out of the campground went on until midnight with head lights shining in camper windows. I will take being woken to loons on the lake any day, this was loud and crowded.
TravelerBeautiful and well kept campground. Stayed right on the river and was beautiful. Full hookups was nice. Nice campground if you have kids. Only downside is you are very close to the site next to you.
GuideWe had a great stay at Oneida Shores Campground. Over the weekend it was nearly full, but it never felt crowded. The other campers were friendly and there were no issues. At 10 pm, it got very quiet, no issues. The newly paved sites are level. The grounds are well kept. I wouldn't say the sites were too close together. We had plenty of room. The tent area is shaded by trees, the rv section is not. We encountered several park employees, all were very friendly and helpful. Never saw any geese. The only negative is that the showers and restrooms need a deep clean and upgrade, but they were serviceable.
