Webster Park, a Monroe County facility, provides tent, RV, and cabin camping with electric hookups and water access. Hamlin Beach State Park Campground offers lakefront camping approximately 25 miles west of Irondequoit with accommodations for tents and RVs. Most campgrounds in the region feature moderate separation between sites, drinking water, electric hookups, and fire rings. The camping season typically runs from early May through October, with limited availability during winter months.

    Seasonal considerations drive camping availability throughout the Rochester area, with most campgrounds operating from spring through fall. Most campsites require reservations, particularly for summer weekends when lakeside options fill quickly. As one camper noted, "Small little park with few amenities on Lake Ontario. Sites are spacious, however specific to size of camper. This is a hidden gem for those of us who live close for short weekend trips." Facilities vary between campgrounds, with state parks typically offering more developed amenities like showers and sanitary dump stations. Some campgrounds provide full hookups including sewer connections, while others offer more primitive experiences with limited facilities.

    The camping experience near Irondequoit combines lake views with wooded settings. Campers frequently mention the family-friendly environment and recreational opportunities, particularly at Webster Park where the playground and hiking trails receive positive reviews.

Mixed-use campgrounds in the region support various outdoor activities including fishing, boating, and swimming during summer months. While some campgrounds feature open layouts, others like Webster Park offer "wooded and private" sites that provide more seclusion. Many campgrounds in the area provide convenient access to both natural settings and urban amenities, with several reviewers noting the proximity to Rochester and Lake Ontario as significant advantages.

      Darien Lakes State Park Campground

      Friendly helpful staff, quiet spot

      Large well maintained campground with many different types of sites. The staff is amazing and will help you find something - in person or by phone. Our site was tucked into the woods and felt very private. Lake for swimming, fishing, paddle boarding and kayaking. The bathrooms were dated but clean, with warm showers.

      Skyline RV Resort

      Enjoyable location

      I was to Skyline in May 2026 - Opening weekend. My site was on Pine, easy in and easy out. You are in a mix of seasonals and weekenders. First off, the check in was easy and quick, the woman at the desk was friendly and upbeat. I arrived to a campsite that was clean, very clean. The lot was grass and had a slight slop to it, the trailer spot was all gravel and level. it rained one day hard real hard and there was no real standing water. There are old trees on the sites all are trimmed up and clear of dead branches. You could get a 13'6" trailer in without worrying about branches. The facilities were in clean and in working order. There was a free chili dinner on Saturday night at the rec hall. They had the hockey playoffs on a big screen and a band also. You are out in the country at this spot, Alden is not too far up the road, you have most stores there for items needed.  Nice place!

      Shady Shores Campground

      The views are spectacular

      Its a small park with lots of campers that park year round. Super friendly golf cart riding community always ready to help out. Wifi isnt the best, but it was quiet and peaceful.

      Lakeside State Park Campground

      Good camp ground

      Stayed here for 3 nights. Loop G has basically no tree coverage, so if we come back again, we’re doing a different loop! Nothing to complain about. Clean bathrooms. Camp store has strange hours and has few things in it.

      Beautiful Park and campground

      Our family camps here all the time. This year, we saw so much work put into the park. The camp store is open again, and the park has a working concession stand, too! They put in new benches and gardens and added beautiful walking paths by the water! There was a wonderful fireworks show over the water as well. Such a great campground and park!!

      Nice campground

      Nice campground, spots are tight lots of seasonals all of the sites can be buddy sites, there is limited activities for small kids no pool or splash pad for cool off, no sewer on any sites. They do have a grey water drain @ all sites,

      Very tight moving big fifth wheels and large tow vehicles

      Race track is across the road I went over and enjoyed the mini sprint races on Saturday if your not into racing it is quite loud on Saturday night until 11pm

      Letchworth State Park Campground

      amazing experience

      Before you reserve the loop, you have to make sure the place is little bit big because we book B206 it has good amount of space for camping but not that big and other campers are very close to you. It’s hard to park two cars there. Also, it is little bit open area. you can see your neighbours we are also come here to camping so before you reserve or book your campsite you have to make sure it is surrounded by trees and get little bit privacy, but it was awesome experience there we had barbecue there you can enjoy very nice place for camping

    Water activities: Hamlin Beach State Park Campground provides swimming and boating opportunities on Lake Ontario. One camper mentioned: "Great access to the shores of Lake Ontario from campground. Also few mile stretch of beaches.

    What campers like

    Privacy between sites: Many campers appreciate the separation between campsites. A visitor to Monroe County Webster Park noted: "Small little park with few amenities on Lake Ontario. Sites are spacious, however specific to size of camper. This is a hidden gem for those of us who live close for short weekend trips."

    Clean facilities: Visitors consistently mention well-maintained bathrooms and shower facilities. One camper at Webster Park shared: "We did a last minute reservation and ended up loving the place. There was good separation between the campsites and the bathrooms and showers were clean. Wasn't too far from a park along Ontario. Overall a great stay!"

    Proximity to urban amenities: The convenience of camping near Rochester while still enjoying natural surroundings is frequently mentioned. A camper described: "This is a nice little park. I've stayed four times in 2021, for a much as 2 weeks at a time. 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)."

    Quiet atmosphere: Many campers value the peaceful setting of Monroe County Webster Park: "Nothing bad to say about webster park. Beautiful peaceful and quiet." Another visitor commented: "This was our first trip here. It was nothing short of perfect. Staff was super helpful and friendly. Camp sites are wooded and private. Very quiet and peaceful."

It is close to the finger lakes, is clean, has kid activities and a pond where the fish are easy to catch with hotdogs!"

    Site leveling challenges: Some campgrounds require extra equipment for leveling. One camper mentioned: "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. We changed sites three times and finally resigned ourselves to not being leveled."

    Reservation requirements: Most campgrounds require advance booking, especially during peak season. A camper advised: "They allow reservations online on the monroe county parks website, and are open May 1st to October 31st."

    Weather considerations: The Lake Ontario shore experiences variable weather conditions. Wind from the lake can affect camping comfort, particularly in early spring and late fall when temperatures can drop suddenly.

    Tips from RVers

    Hookup availability: RV campers should check specific hookup options before booking. A camper at Big Guys Campground shared: "All the sites are large and designed for family and friends to contact and enjoy."

    Site size considerations: RVers recommend verifying site dimensions before arrival. One camper advised: "We had an electric hook-up for our 17' travel trailer. Two-headed water spigots are shared by 2 sites, which worked reasonably well; we were glad we had an extra hose to reach back to our camper."

    Dump station access: Not all campgrounds offer full hookups or convenient dump stations. A visitor noted: "We had an amazing time at this park! Friendly people, plenty for the kids to do. Playground in walking distance and private sites! We loved it here. Will definitely return. You need a long hose for fresh water in the RV. No sewer sites."

    Extended stay options: Some campgrounds offer discounted rates for longer stays. A camper mentioned: "The sites for large rigs are very close together but that is not surprising. Our site was clean and reasonably level but there was no shade at all. We were comfortable, though, after putting out the awning and setting up our portable gazebo."
