    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.

    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!

    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.

    Letchworth State Park Campground

    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.


Guide to Macedon

Macedon's camping region sits at approximately 500 feet elevation within the Erie Canal corridor of western New York. The area experiences four distinct seasons with summer temperatures averaging 70-80°F and winter lows frequently below freezing. Most dog friendly campgrounds near Macedon operate from April through October, with the majority closing before November due to typical first frost dates in mid-October.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: The pond at Canandaigua-Rochester KOA provides accessible fishing where even beginners can succeed. "The pond where the fish are easy to catch with hotdogs!" notes Amy T., making it ideal for introducing children to fishing.

Canal path exploration: Walk approximately half a mile from Junius Ponds to access maintained trail systems. "Located close to shopping, wineries, hiking, and concert events," writes Sheri S., highlighting the campground's convenient location for accessing regional attractions.

Autumn color viewing: Bristol Woodlands campground serves as an ideal base for fall foliage viewing, typically peaking in early-mid October. "Sites are level and well equipped (waste water disposal attach site!)," notes jody M., mentioning the practical amenities that make longer seasonal stays comfortable.

What campers like

Large wooded sites: Webster Park offers secluded camping areas within a forested setting. "Camp sites are wooded and private. Very quiet and peaceful. Clean and well maintained," according to Amanda M., highlighting the natural setting that provides buffer space between campsites.

Clean facilities: The PineApple Farm maintains bathroom and shower facilities that receive consistent positive reviews. While a newer listing without many reviews, this small property offers a more intimate camping experience with only one designated site, providing maximum privacy.

Organized activities: Weekend programming keeps children engaged at multiple dog-friendly campgrounds in the region. "The campground has all that you need for a relaxing family trip. It is close to the finger lakes, is clean, has kid activities," reports Amy T., pointing to structured recreation options.

What you should know

Seasonal restrictions: Most dog-accommodating campgrounds near Macedon close by October 31st. Letchworth State Park Campground extends slightly longer, operating from May 6 to October 16.

Varying dog policies: While pets are welcome, specific rules differ between campgrounds. "They offer a well maintained-non heated pool although costs $2 per person to use even for campers," notes Jim C. about one facility, indicating additional fees apply for certain amenities.

Site layout considerations: Lake Bluff RV Park offers varied terrain and site configurations. "We had a huge site near a little stream, overall the campground isn't very big with lots of seasonsals," reports Keri, highlighting both the positive aspects of streamside sites and the presence of long-term campers.

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Multiple campgrounds feature dedicated play structures for children. "There is a nice game room pool, air hockey, video games. There is a change machine too," reports Sara H., detailing indoor recreation options for rainy days.

Safety considerations: Vehicle speed enforcement varies between campgrounds. "The staff are ALL so nice. The amenities are plentiful and well cared for," notes Ken B., speaking to the general atmosphere of attentive oversight at Canandaigua-Rochester KOA.

Kid-friendly amenities: Letchworth State Park Campground offers educational opportunities along with recreation. "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," writes Shari G., describing specific age-appropriate activities.

Tips from RVers

Site leveling: Many reviews mention challenges with uneven terrain. "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," advises Donna C., suggesting bringing additional leveling equipment.

Hookup locations: Water connections sometimes require extended hoses. "You need a long hose for fresh water in the RV. No sewer sites," explains Janelle G., recommending RVers come prepared with additional equipment.

Pull-through availability: Larger rigs require specific site reservations. "We were in a long pull through near the front of the campground and it had a large grassy section to the side," shares Tina, describing specific site characteristics helpful for RV travelers.
