      Finger Lakes RV Resort

      Just as advertised

      Wonderful 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.

      Letchworth State Park Campground

      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!!

      Letchworth State Park Campground

      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 Campground

      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!

      Sampson State Park Campground

      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.

    Guide to Livonia

    The Finger Lakes region surrounding Livonia, New York sits at approximately 1,000 feet of elevation with a humid continental climate. Summer temperatures typically range between 60-80°F while winters can drop below freezing with significant snowfall. Most campgrounds in the area operate seasonally from May through mid-October, closing during winter months when access roads become difficult to navigate.

    What to do

    Gorge trail hiking: At Letchworth State Park Campground, you'll find exceptional hiking opportunities through dramatic landscapes. "The park itself is fantastic. The campgrounds are basic and very nice given the relatively high popularity. The campsites are in two main areas of the park and further broken down into many different loops," notes Harry H. The trails connect directly to campsites, making morning hikes convenient.

    Swimming in natural pools: Stony Brook State Park Campground features a unique swimming experience in naturally formed pools. "This park is beautiful and has a unique swimming area- a 'pool' carved from the mountain! There are lots of paths and picnic areas, as well as beautiful hiking trails and creeks to cool off in," explains Kayti D. The swimming areas provide relief during hot summer days.

    Balloon festival: Visit during Memorial Day weekend for special events. "Try to get to the balloon fest on Memorial Day - and book a flight if you can. Voted Best State Park in the USA," recommends Rebecca E. about Letchworth State Park. Festival activities typically run from dawn until dusk with balloon launches dependent on weather conditions.

    What campers like

    Large wooded sites: Canandaigua-Rochester KOA provides spacious sites with mature trees. "The campground is clean and well maintained. The staff are ALL so nice. The amenities are plentiful and well cared for. The sites are level, in great shape, and has a wonderful large wooded area," shares Ken B. The campground offers both sunny and shaded options.

    Wildlife viewing: Many campers appreciate animal sightings during their stay. "Deer, chipmunks and rabbits will say hi in the early and late hours," notes Dayne B. about Ontario County Park at Gannett Hill. Morning and evening hours provide the best opportunities for wildlife observation.

    Bird watching opportunities: The diversity of bird species attracts dedicated observers. "I'm a birder and my tent site here is next to a little grove of trees where I counted 12 species of birds this morning," shares Jenise P. about Canandaigua-Rochester KOA. Blue jays are particularly abundant in the Stony Brook area according to several reviewers.

    What you should know

    Terrain challenges: Some campgrounds feature steep topography that impacts mobility. "Campground is on a very steep hill so it is difficult to walk around," cautions Sydney W. about Conesus Lake Campground. Golf cart rentals are available at several properties to help navigate challenging terrain.

    Site leveling requirements: Prepare for uneven ground at certain locations. "Make sure to bring plenty of leveling blocks as some sites are far from level," advises Jonathan G. about Ontario County Park. RVers should come prepared with adequate leveling equipment.

    Wildlife precautions: While wildlife viewing is enjoyable, proper food storage is necessary. "Rats and mice all over. As we were walking back from a trail rats were jumping in to the underside of the car," warns Kasey C. about Stony Brook State Park. Use sealed containers for all food items to prevent unwanted visitors.

    Tips for camping with families

    Kid-friendly activities: The Ridge Campsite offers numerous recreation options for children. "Had a wonderful weekend and the owner and family were amazing. The pool wasnt open yet but the kids had so much fun on the playgrounds and with all of the other kids," shares Marissa R. Multiple playgrounds and open fields provide space for active play.

    Easy fishing access: Several campgrounds feature stocked fishing ponds suitable for beginners. "Sites include standard amenities such as picnic tables and fire rings. The campground has all that you need for a relaxing family trip. It is close to the finger lakes, is clean, has kid activities and a pond where the fish are easy to catch with hotdogs!" recommends Amy T.

    Weekend programming: Tamarack Campground schedules regular family activities. "I'm a seasonal camper here and love it. Everyone is very friendly and helpful! Lots of activities almost every weekend," notes Tyler G. Activities typically include crafts, games, and seasonal celebrations from Memorial Day through Labor Day.

    Tips from RVers

    Hookup locations: Check site maps carefully for utility placement. "Our water hook up was in the middle of someone's site," mentions Sparks N. about Canandaigua-Rochester KOA. Bringing extra-length hoses and cords can help accommodate unusual hookup positions.

    Dump station accessibility: Some campgrounds offer additional services for longer stays. "Sites have picnic table, fire ring, Adirondack chairs, 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," explains Sheri S. about Creek n Wood. This can be particularly valuable for extended stays.

    Site dimensions: Several dog friendly campgrounds near Livonia have restrictions on larger rigs. "Driveway getting in and out is a little tight for big units, definitely have to swing wide. Sites are very big and clean," advises Nick O. about The Ridge Campsite. Call ahead to confirm access routes can accommodate your specific RV dimensions.
