30+ years of great memories!
We have camped at Letchworth State Park for nearly 30 years. Recent updates to playground equipment and restroom/shower facilities have brought the amenities into the 21st century. The price is reasonable, and the park is a gem. A couple cons to consider: pets only allowed in three loops. Quite often, pet loop reservations are maxed quickly. There is a two dog limit, which excludes many campers. If you are used to private campgrounds, realize that services are limited here. Mediocre camp store and laundry; both get the job done, but leave a lot to be desired.

Letchworth State Park, NY
Letchworth State Park is known as the Grand Canyon of the East and is located in Mt. Morris New York. My husband and I visited regularly when we lived near Rochester, NY. The park is stunning and is fit for camping whether you’re in a tent, RV or choosing to rent a gorgeous cabin. There are many walking and hiking trails for adventurers of all types. Make sure you bring your camera as the views are all photo worthy. The camping price is right due to the fact that the park is run by the state. A great place to stay especially in the Summer!!

Good weekend campsite
Not technically in the Finger Lakes but still one of the most beautiful parts of Western New York State. Splurge and eat at the Glen Iris Inn! Great for cycling and hiking but no swimming. I love taking visitors here in all seasons but in autumn it is exceptional. I’ve stayed in a few tent sites and all are wooded and pretty private with your standard basic amenities. This is a popular park so make reservations.

The Grand Canyon of the East!
I went to college right near Letchworth State Park so I spent many wonderful weekends there! There is a reason why they call it the Grand Canyon of the East. Not only can you check out the beautiful waterfalls, but there are also many awesome trails, rivers, and caves to check out. When I would camp, we would rent a camp site with our tent but, you could camp with your RV or even rent a cabin. Ive gone every month of the year, but these pictures were from my birthday in January. Letchworth is one of the best parks in New York state and a definite must see!

Letchworth State Park
My son and I have a new favorite campground. We absolutely fell in love with this park. I find it odd that even though I grew up only an hour away, we never camped there. Big mistake! There are many trails to hike on and beautiful views of the gorge and river. You have to drive to many of the places but it's worth it. There are many souvenir and snack stands as well as a pool (again, you have to drive to them). The camp store is small but well stocked with a laundry attached. Some loops allow pets and others don't. If you want to bring your pet, please check to make sure you reserve a pet-friendly loop. Unfortunately for us, it rained the entire time we were there so we never got to walk the trails or use the pool. Keep an eye out for other activities. There are balloon rides, craft shows, etc. that happen throughout the summer. With so much to do in the park, you don't really need to leave but nearby is the Arcade and Attica Railroad. It's a nice little ride through the countryside. There is also a small dam that you can visit (we missed out this last time). I highly recommend visiting.

Solid option in the finger lakes.
We camped here for 3 nights, I had an event in Geneva. Location was handy, easy in and out. It’s an old navy/Air Force base that was converted in the 60’s. Sites have a weird thing with one electric post per two sites… but they aren’t pull through. So, apparently, New York doesn’t care if you just park anywhere in the general area of your site, which is a vibe, but bring an extension cord. There’s some kind of “resort” co-located that appears to have more conventional hookups, but I’m unclear on how to book that. Price was fine, spot was ok, lake swim beach and playground were nice.

Unexpected Surroundings
In most states, those without falls like Niagara, this state park would be the pride of the land. With three serious drops in as many miles, the Genesse River winds it’s way through what locals call the “Grand Canyon of the East.” Many states try to make such claims, but this might be the closest any come to actually living up to such. It is stunning!
Along the river this park gives the motorist the distinct feel that she is on a parkway, not unlike Shenendoah, or Blue Ridge. Every few miles the winding pavement breaks out onto a few of the ridges and valley below, before ducking back into the forest of Western New York.
The campground, which is about 15 miles from the major falls area, offers what many come to expect from state parks. There are a wide variety of campsites, all reservable online, which can accommodate lots of different types of camping, large RV’s, small tents, and everything in between. Most, if not all, campsites offer electrical and water is available close by.
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. Within a short walk were many hiking trails, an old-school fitness path, and a stellar playground where anyone under 9 years of age should get a great workout.
But let’s be honest, we’re not coming here for the campground, it’s the rest of the park that makes the drive worth it. So, check it out and get to know this stunning place first hand and be sure to bring a picnic basket.
Guide to Henrietta
Campgrounds in the Henrietta region provide access to the southern shores of Lake Ontario and western New York's diverse landscapes. Most sites open seasonally from May through October, with late spring bringing occasional rain and summer temperatures averaging 70-85°F. Fall camping offers spectacular foliage viewing with significantly cooler nights requiring additional layers.
What to Do
Wildlife watching opportunities: At Hamlin Beach State Park Campground, the secluded shores and nearby nature trails create excellent wildlife viewing. "The trail on the north side is refered to as the devil's nose. Beautiful sunsets can be seen from that vantage point," notes camper Rino S. The park features both forested and wetland habitats.
Golfing access: Genesee Country Campground offers on-site golf facilities. "They have golfing here and tent areas back up to the 9th hole (but still separated so you don't feel like you are right on top of it) so you can easily knock around there and do a little golfing too!" reports Randall K.
Photography excursions: The landscapes at Letchworth State Park Campground provide exceptional photography opportunities. "The gorge is spectacular. Try to get to the balloon fest on Memorial Day - and book a flight if you can," suggests Rebecca E. The park's river gorge creates dramatic vistas in all seasons.
What Campers Like
Private wooded sites: The dog friendly campgrounds near Henrietta often feature secluded camping spots. At Creek n Wood, campers enjoy "a private campground located in Bloomfield, NY right on the Mud Creek. Located close to shopping, wineries, hiking, and concert events," according to Sheri S.
Swimming opportunities: During summer months, Southwoods RV Resort offers multiple swimming facilities. "The campground has lots of amenities like two swimming pools, nice camp store (with lots of food, souvenirs, and gifts)," notes Nancy W., making it a popular option for families seeking pet-friendly campgrounds around Henrietta.
Seasonal events: Many campgrounds host special activities throughout their operating season. "They have a busy events calendar throughout the year with lots of get-togethers. During our stay they had a closing weekend pizza and wings party with live music for a small fee," reports a visitor to Southwoods RV Resort.
What You Should Know
Mud and drainage issues: Several campgrounds experience seasonal drainage challenges. At Monroe County Webster Park, one camper notes, "our site was muddy and numerous sites around us were muddy, too. There was standing water in the road way." Plan accordingly during rainy periods.
Campsite leveling: Not all sites provide level camping surfaces. At Red's Twilight on the Erie RV Resort, "Almost all of the sites are not even close to level. Not a big issue with a fifth wheel but a real hassle with a motorcoach," reports Donna C.
Limited cell service: Communication may be unreliable at some locations. One camper at Webster Park mentioned, "Cell phone coverage is poor by Verizon and T-Mobile, and there is no WiFi, and no camp store (but the town of Webster is nearby)."
Tips for Camping with Families
Playground access: Canandaigua-Rochester KOA provides numerous child-friendly activities. "Our first KOA stop, so can't compare to other KOAs, but this place has a good number of family activities and events. Our 3 and 5 year olds really enjoyed the jump pad and woods obstacles," reports Greg S.
Safety considerations: Many pet-friendly campgrounds near Henrietta enforce strict speed limits. At Red's Twilight on the Erie RV Resort, "The speed limit is 5 MPH and they mean it.... Kids on bikes and having a good time in the enormous play area," notes Rachel T.
Water activities: Seasonal water features appeal to families with children. "We stayed in August and we really enjoyed the setup and location of all the amenities this campground has," explains a visitor to Southwoods RV Resort, where swimming pools remain popular through late summer.
Tips from RVers
Hookup positioning: At many locations, utilities placement varies significantly. At Creek n Wood, sites have "water and electric hookup, and a dump station to use on your way out. If you stay for an extended period, they offer free emptying at your site," notes Sheri S.
Site selection advice: When booking at Hamlin Beach State Park Campground, consider site privacy. "The sites in the loop we stayed in had about 75' between driveways, all with varying levels of trees/brush between them, very secluded," explains Benjamin C.
Extended stay options: Some locations offer favorable terms for longer visits. At Webster Park, one RVer reports, "I've stayed four times in 2021, for a much as 2 weeks at a time." These longer stays allow for thorough exploration of surrounding attractions.
