TravelerWonderful location and marvelous hosts. We were welcomed with chocolate chip cookies as we checked in. Bathrooms were beautiful and clean. Two wineries we could walk to and dozens more nearby. Our site was spacious and the dog park gave our pups plenty of time off leash. We definitely plan on returning.
GuideReally nice staff! Free putt putt. Clean! So much to do. There is a dog park as well!
LegendLetchworth 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!!
ScoutWe 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.
LegendJake from the Dyrt here! Quiet Valley is a glamping campground with canvas tents in a slowed down country setting in New York. Check them out and leave a review about your stay on the Dyrt!
RangerNot 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.
ScoutI 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!
RangerWe 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.
GuideMy 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.

Hiking at Letchworth: Letchworth State Park offers numerous trails ranging from easy walks to challenging hikes. "The campgrounds are in two main areas of the park and further broken down into many different loops. The loops near the Lower Falls are our favorites, but any choice is a good one. All are close to the gorge/river and wooded, and connect to trails directly from your campsite," shares Harry H. about Letchworth State Park Campground.
Fishing opportunities: Bring fishing gear to take advantage of stocked ponds and lake access. At Gravel Ponds Fishing/Recreation/Camping, visitors note the excellent fishing conditions. Briannah W. recalls, "We used to go to gravel ponds every 4th of July for AMAZING fireworks! And a really cool atmosphere."
Golf access: Several campgrounds offer golfing options nearby or on-site. Randall K. from Genesee Country Campground mentions, "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!"
Swimming options: Natural swimming areas provide refreshing alternatives to traditional pools. "My favorite part about this park has to be their natural pool. It's beautiful and so refreshing," writes Olivia R. about Stony Brook State Park Campground.
Private tent sites: Tent campers appreciate secluded spots away from RV sections. "To top it off the sites for tents are amazing - so private and pretty. In fact it's so private we were able to set up our own portable toilet and have complete privacy," notes Randall K. from Genesee Country Campground.
Clean facilities: Well-maintained bathrooms and showers rank high on camper priorities. At Stay Bristol Woodlands, jody M. reports, "Bathrooms clean and fully functional" while also noting "Site was level and well equipped (waste water disposal attach site!)."
Family activities: Campgrounds offer various recreation options for all ages. "Quiet relaxing atmosphere, lots of hiking trails and family friendly with parks and a pool for the kids to play," says Lisa M. about Letchworth State Park Campground.
Scenic viewpoints: The region offers exceptional landscape views. "Ontario County lookout is a quick easy walk away from the campground that is never crazy busy," shares Peter from Ontario County Park at Gannett Hill.
Weather considerations: Plan for variable conditions even during peak season. Jeff A. from Letchworth notes, "Beautiful state park, very lush green from all the rain unfortunately the smoke from the Canadian fires near have made it unhealthy here, especially strenuous outdoor activities."
Site selection: Some campgrounds have significant variations between sites. Jonathan G. explains about Ontario County Park, "Only downside is that the RV sites don't have much shade but the tent sites do. Also make sure to bring plenty of leveling blocks as some sites are far from level."
Booking windows: Popular campgrounds fill quickly, especially during peak season. "Book early. Bring your hiking shoes & camera. The gorge is spectacular," advises Rebecca E. about Letchworth State Park Campground.
Train noise: Be aware of occasional rail activity near certain campgrounds. Nancy W. mentions about Southwoods RV Resort, "There is a train track near the park which occasionally is quite noisy."
Dog-friendly options: Many campgrounds near Lima welcome pets with specific accommodations. "We have been staying at this Jewel of a campground for years. The new owners have brought this place to a new level Great amenities, real Wi-Fi and a great pool," shares Donald R. about Stay Bristol Woodlands, one of several dog-friendly campgrounds near Lima.
Playground access: Look for campgrounds with dedicated play areas. Hope C. from Southwoods RV Resort reports, "Southwoods is a beautiful campground and accommodates campers of all ages. 2 well kept pools, playgrounds, laundry facilities, mini golf, soccer, basketball."
Weekend crowds: Expect more activity during weekends at family-oriented parks. Nancy W. observed at Southwoods, "We stayed four nights (which included a weekend) and experienced the park going from half full and quiet to packed with lots of music, all-day fires, and big gatherings."
Cabin options: For families new to camping or wanting extra comfort. Sarah C. mentions about Ontario County Park, "Cabins are new and ample beds and space. Camper camping is close to everything, but less privacy."
Site spacing considerations: RV sites vary significantly in size and proximity. Cheryl M. notes Southwoods RV Resort is "Family friendly park, lots of activities, park hosts/owners are hands on and awesome," while Nancy W. adds a practical note that "the sites are pretty close and feel a little cramped when the park is full."
Hookup variations: Check specific utility options when booking. At Conesus Lake Campground, Sheri S. notes, "The bottom portion of the campground has mostly seasonal campers and cabins. You do have to go up a pretty steep hill to get to the 'transient' camping section, but there are many pull through, level, full hook up sites to choose from."
Terrain challenges: Be prepared for hilly access at some locations. Marissa R. from Conesus Lake Campground shares, "The campground was nice and clean, the staff was very friendly, and the pool was nice. Only complaint is nature. The hill is a killer! But that problem was solved by renting a golf cart!"
Proximity to amenities: Consider distance to necessities when choosing a location. Nancy W. explains about Southwoods, "Rochester is about a 45-minute drive but the town of Batavia is about 15 minutes away and has groceries, fuel, restaurants, shopping, etc."
