Aspen Family Campground in Candor accommodates big rigs with 50-amp electrical service, full hookups, and water and sewer connections. The campground operates from May 12 to September 30 and maintains a 5-star rating. Nearby Pine Valley RV Park & Campground in Endicott offers full hookup sites and remains open until September 30. "Very clean campsites are very nice plenty of room had a 50 amp and 30 amp service box in a pull through site," noted one visitor about regional facilities. Spruce Row Campground in Ithaca provides 30-amp hookups, electric, water, and sewer connections on sites accessible for RVs, though it's not designated as big-rig friendly. Most area RV parks feature gravel pads with picnic tables and fire rings at each site.

Several RV parks in the region require reservations during peak summer and fall periods, particularly on weekends and holidays. Hickories Park Campground near Owego offers sanitary dump stations and provides trash collection, important considerations for extended stays. Cell service varies significantly throughout the area, with stronger signals in Ithaca and weaker coverage in more remote locations. Pets are allowed at most area campgrounds, though leash requirements are standard. Seasonal campers occupy sections of some parks, which can limit availability for transient RVers during prime months. According to one RVer, some sites may require water filters as "there was a lot of sediment in the water" at certain facilities. The terrain throughout the region includes rolling hills which can affect site leveling and road navigation.

    Stony MT Family Campground

    We’d do it again!

    Not cheap but we’ll within area norms. This camp has many long term campers that are friendly and helpful and some have children with them. Some full-time rigs are weekend campers. Some weekend events are planned. Most sites have full hookups with 50 amp electric only so if needed have an adapter (available at the small camp store. We had an unplanned extension on our visit that included a weekend where a group was scheduled and the park was booked including our site. The friendly staff worked to ensure a temporary site for us for the weekend.

    Pine Cradle Lake Family Campground

    Great campground in PA northern tier

    The owners do a fantastic job keeping the campground shipshape. Restrooms/showers are immaculate any time of day. Heated swimming pool and the splash pad for kiddies is spotless as well. Nice, pull-through on gravel pad withfull-hookups that can take large rigs. Lake is lovely for fishing/kayaks/canoes. Seasonal campers are tidy. Only a few tent sites with water & electricity tucked into woods. Larger pull-through sites don't get a lot of shade, but there are back-in sites for shorter campers in wooded sites and shaded lake front, as well. Campground store sells ice-cream & nachos and supplies. Campground is pretty quiet during the week, but fills up on weekends with guests using own (or renting) golf carts. Activities on weekends. The campground sits atop one of NEPA's "rolling hills" in quiet, rural farming area. Cell service is spotty. Local winery/cafe just down the road for tastings and lunch. Row boat, paddle boat rentals.

    Chenango Valley State Park Campground

    Well maintained NY state campground; good for family camping

    We were just passing through on a rainy night, but this park would be a good choice for a multi-night stay. 

    Activities for a Multi-Day Stay

    • Swimming in the lake, golfing, boating, fishing, multi-use trails for hiking or mountain biking

    • You're only about 20 minutes from the Binghamton/Johnson City area. For us, that means food and craft beer.

    Sites in the Chipmunk Camping Area

    • Parking pads in the non-electric section are dirt/grass. Some of the pads are short; this section is geared toward tent campers. We found a site long enough to easily accommodate our vehicle and teardrop trailer (30 ft total) since we didn't want to detach for a one night stay. Even if the pad wasn't that long, there are other pads wide enough to handle a vehicle and trailer like ours side by side.

    • Parking pads in the electric loops (30 amps and 50 amps) have a good amount of gravel.

    • We usually prefer sites on the outer part of a loop, and this was no exception. The sites have more trees.

    Amenities

    • Electricity at about 1/3 of the sites

    • Pretty good restrooms/showers

    • Water spigots on the loops and more water at the dump station

    • Trash disposal

    • Playground at the beach area, not the campground

    Wildlife

    • Beware of raccoons. They are brazen thieves here...and every campground they inhabit. Just don't leave your food out.

    • The park brochure warns of the occasional bear but that's true even in towns all over NY. I doubt you'll see one.

    • Deer are all over. Watch out for them on the roads. We had four that were feeding behind our site in the morning.

    Finger Lakes RV Resort

    Beautiful new spacious RV resort in excellent location.

    We arrived on Saturday, 10.8.22 and are staying for a week. This is a delightful location. Rachel and Doug are cheerful, attentive, and very personable owners who are on-site at almost all times. This park just opened this year, so we checked in at an entrance building that they're using until their primary building is complete. We were greeted with delicious cookies, our site(#9) backs up to a wooded area(with a hiking path buried in there) with a lot of space. We booked early, which was a good thing because they were 100% full for Indigenous People's Day. We chose this site because there was a lot of room around it and we're used to really tightly packed RV parks. But what we found is that all of the sites are very nicely spread out with generous spacing, so that's not an issue. It's still nice to be on the outskirts. We also chose this section per a review we read to be away from the main road noise, but there really isn't much road noise to worry about, anyway. The WiFi is strong and consistent. We're using 30amps, but they also have 20 and 50amp service to each site. The water pressure is great. The bath house is new and very comfortable. Each site has a picnic table, a fire ring and lots of room for big rigs. We watched Doug neaten up sites after other RV's vacated, which shows an attention to detail we don't often find. They also drive by each site every morning to collect trash and recycling. The sunsets are spectacular over the lake(we can't see the lake from here, but it's close). There are numerous award-winning wineries surrounding us and up and down the lake. We're headed out for tastings today. We've been hiking the last few days- Watkins Glen State Park- Gorge Trail(go early or it gets REALLY crowded), Taughannock State Park- Gorge& North Ridge Trail over on Cayuga Lake, and a concert(Rufus Wainwright) at Point of the Bluff Winery over on Keuka Lake. We stopped afterward for dinner in Hammondsport at Timber Stone Grill which was truly wonderful. That's about 35- 45 minutes away. Lots more hiking trails to do in the National Forest and surrounding areas. And there's Watkins Glen, a charming town just minutes away. We highly recommend Finger Lakes RV Resort and we'll be back!

    Blueberry Patch Campground — Green Mountain & Finger Lakes National Forests

    Simple

    The only Finger Lakes National Forest designated campground, Blueberry Patch offers a secluded experience in the heart of this sometimes overlooked beautiful geographic region in the State of New York. This campground offers a simple experience, with fire rings and picnic tables at each site and seems to accommodate just tent and small campers. Vault toilets available. On a week day in early summer, 3 of the 9 campsites we’re occupied. Can see it filling up on weekends. Enjoy!

    Montrose Campground

    Family and pet friendly year-around campground

    We tried this campground a few times for short stays and ended up going seasonal last year and will do the same this year. It is a little off the beaten path but is great for families (plenty of activities for kids) and pets (our dog LOVES it there). They have a pool, fishing pond, hiking trails, mini golf, playground, large grassy areas for kids to play, and horseshoe pits. There is a store (stocked with grocery staples/snacks but also TONS of RV specific supplies/parts), laundry and showers (a new and improved bath house is currently being built). There are planned activities almost every weekend during the 'season' but they are open all year with some winter sites available. They have all sites available from tent right up to 50 amp full hook-ups. I can't wait for the new season to begin in April!

    Ferenbaugh Campground

    Relaxing place to stay

    This CG has two distinct sections. Near the entrance is the Pull Through Area. Behind a row of trees there are several sites with full hookups including cable TV and Wi-Fi. The sites are open, reasonably level, and a good size. The other sites are in the woods, most of these sites do not have sewer connections. There is a honey wagon service available. We camped with a relative who was new and we were teaching them how to operate their camper. We had a couple of dry days then some rain. Still was a great teaching/learning experience.

    Make sure you use a water filter, there was a lot of sediment in the water when we were there. See pictures of 4 days on a new cartridge.

    We had a fantastic sunrise one morning.

    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.

Guide to Candor

Camping options near Candor, New York range from riverside sites to hilltop settings with views of the surrounding countryside. The area experiences four distinct seasons, with summer temperatures averaging 75-85°F and fall bringing crisp temperatures ideal for campfires. Most campgrounds in the region sit at elevations between 800-1,200 feet above sea level, creating varied terrain for hiking and exploration.

What to do

Waterfall hiking: At Buttermilk Falls State Park Campground, visitors can explore scenic trails connecting to impressive water features. The park offers "a day's worth of hiking trails on site" and during autumn "be sure to time your visit with the fall foilage change, or grab your snow shoes for a winter adventure," according to experienced campers.

Wine country excursions: The camping areas provide excellent access to the Finger Lakes wine region. At Finger Lakes RV Resort, campers appreciate that there are "walking paths from the campground to two different wineries" and the resort is "located about 1/3 of the way up the eastern side of Seneca Lake, the location provides easy access to the wineries, distilleries, and breweries along the lake."

Riverside activities: Set up camp with water access for fishing, paddling, or simply relaxing. Hickories Park Campground offers "some of the best river access there is to paddle through a great small town" according to regular visitors. The park's location makes it "easy access to fishing and grocery shopping" with "open sites" that accommodate various camping setups.

What campers like

Spacious sites: Many regional campgrounds provide room to spread out. At Pine Valley RV Park & Campground, "Lakeside sites are spacious and reasonably priced" and the campground has been described as "a family oriented relaxing campground" by longtime visitors.

Swimming opportunities: Several campgrounds feature lakes or swimming areas. Pine Valley offers "hayrides in the summer and swimming in the lake" plus "giant swimming inflatables, putt putt even a giant slide. All part of the price of the campground," according to families who have stayed there.

Fall colors: The region's deciduous forests create spectacular autumn displays. Buttermilk Falls showcases "wildflowers through summer, great leaves in fall" and "The Finger lakes region is so beautiful" during the changing seasons, making it worth planning a trip around peak foliage times.

What you should know

Varied cell service: Coverage strength depends on proximity to towns. At Belden Hill Campgrounds, campers report "good at&t service" but others note that "wifi wasn't working too well. Good enough for web surfing on phone but no streaming on TV."

Limited availability: Many campgrounds book up early, especially for holiday weekends. One camper at Finger Lakes RV Resort noted they "booked early, which was a good thing because they were 100% full for Indigenous People's Day."

Terrain considerations: The rolling landscape affects campsite characteristics. Some campgrounds like Belden Hill feature "pull thru full hookup, level, spacious" sites with "great views of the mts," but others may require leveling equipment due to the region's natural topography.
