Several RV parks and resorts dot the Lake Ontario shoreline near Mannsville, providing varied accommodation options for motorhome travelers. Brennan Beach RV Resort in Pulaski offers over 1300 sites with water, sewer, and electric hookups, operating from May through mid-October. The concrete pads at Ontario Shores RV Park include seven pull-through sites with full hookups. "Sites are level and spacious," noted one camper who visited in a motorhome. Streamside RV Park & Golf Course features back-in sites that can accommodate connected tow vehicles, with the added benefit of an adjacent 12-hole golf course. Sun Outdoors Association Island provides waterfront sites with paved roads throughout the resort, although spacing between sites can be tight during peak season.
Throughout the region, most RV campgrounds require reservations, particularly during summer months when Lake Ontario access is highly sought after. Dump stations and sanitary facilities are available at nearly all parks, though reviews mention varying quality of shower facilities. Pet policies differ significantly, with most parks allowing dogs but restricting beach access. Cell service proves reliable at lakefront locations but can become spotty in more remote inland areas. Winter camping is virtually non-existent, as most facilities close by mid-October. Many parks accommodate big rigs, but some reviewers caution about narrow internal roads at certain locations. Propane service is limited, requiring travel to nearby towns for refills.

TravelerWe camp with a big rig(40ft) we prefer the heron loop they are very spacious. Nice bathrooms, a small park near the cabins and heron loop, a huge park near the beach and store. They have a beautiful nature center with a lot of kids activities. A ton of trails, they do have full hookup in another loop. By far a beautiful campground and views

GuideWe scheduled a pull through for 1 night last minute due to an unexpected change in plans. We are a full-time traveling family (2 kids - 8 & 13) and 2 English Bulldogs. We have a Class A motorhome and flat tow a Jeep. The campground was beautiful and easy to get in and out of. The sites were level and great size with nice spacing in between. The location was nice too! We did head over to the casino briefly and enjoyed that. We also took a drive to the University of Syracuse to tour the campus. Clean and wonderful park. Would definitely recommend.
RangerSoft Maple is a truly gorgeous small campground. Only about a dozen sites or so, first come first serve. Level sites for RVs or tent or hammock camping. Each site has a nice space with fire ring and picnic table. The beach is lovely and clean. There’s boat access for canoes and kayaks as this is part of the Beaver River route.
The entire campground is accessible, with gravel pack paths, and level sites.
Charlie is the caretaker here and everyone says he is the nicest person you’ll meet. You can’t beat site number 11 for the perfect mix of treelined and water view!
There is space for RVs and a dump station but the sites do not have power or hookups.
If you come in to the campground from “number 4 road” (aka state rt. 26) it’s exactly five miles from the Left turn on to Soft Maple rd. If you have time, stop halfway- the 2.5 mile mark will bring you to the entrance for Eagle falls, a short hike with a fantastic reveal.
ScoutWe stayed at Cherry Grove in May ‘23 with a Fifth wheel camper. The park is very well maintained. Sites are good sized and packed gravel. WiFi is very good, as is cell service from Verizon and T-Mobile. It Most of the campground is seasonal, but all of the campers were friendly.
GuideMostly long term folks but transient spots have easy road access. Clean bathrooms good WiFi. Sites are gravel, pretty level. Campground is well maintained.
ScoutWe camped in loop F site 43 with full hookups, nice asphalt pad picnic table and fire ring. Our site is located adjacent to a mowed grass path that leads to the main road, close to the camp store. Beautiful area, lots of hiking and biking trails and swim area.
GuideWe had a great stay at this park. We enjoyed biking and exploring the lovely blue-green lakes. The swimming area was awesome. We were on the edge of a the large RV section in Pinewoods with premium sites. However, they are all in the bright sun - no shade. It was great having the camp store so close!
GuideWe've visited this campground 6 times since we found it 4 years ago, and keep coming back for more. Easy access, great staff, well kept facilities and a beautiful setting. What more can you ask for?
The sites themselves are a good size. They aren't huge, but you'll have enough room to get creative with your parking. Plenty of trees to hang your hammocks on. All sites have a picnic table and fire pit, and for the most part are fairly level. Not all sites have full hookups, some are just power, some are only grey water, and some are full. There are a lot of full timers here, so the grounds can look fuller than they really are as most often the majority of the full time sites are not occupied. But on big weekends, when everyone shows up, its still not too crowded.
The facilities are modern and well kept. The only issue I had was the shower heads are at about 5'2" above the floor. I'm 6' tall. So that kinda sucked. But the pressure and temp were great, so its still a win. Plus, camping isn't really about taking showers anyways, right? Other than that the bath houses are well maintained and stocked. And they are never more than a quick walk from your camper.
Did I mention there is a pool? There is. And its HEATED. Which is nice, as we often get up there early or late in the season, and a heated pool is a necessity. There's also a good sized playground, an arcade, and lots of games for kids (and adults) to play like basketball, shuffle board, corn hole or horse shoes.
They have a great little shop there too, with just about everything you'd need to make a great weekend. And the staff is fantastic as well. The river is a little weird to get to, but totally worth it for kayaking, sailing or whatever kind of boating you want to do.
So that's a lotta Pro's. I should list some Cons too, to keep it fair.
Check them out, and they'll become one of your favorites too!
Camping options near Mannsville, New York extend beyond the immediate Lake Ontario shoreline, with additional accommodations available within a 30-40 mile radius. The region's geography features a mix of lakefront and inland settings, with elevations ranging from 250 feet at the lakeshore to approximately 400 feet inland. Most campgrounds operate seasonally from May through mid-October due to the area's harsh winter conditions that bring lake-effect snow averaging 100-150 inches annually.
Fishing at local hotspots: Several waterways near Mannsville provide excellent fishing opportunities. At Swan Bay Resort, visitors enjoy fishing directly from the campground. As one camper noted, "Fishing was fun…lots of places to go to fish and the scenery was awesome."
Golf at campground courses: Some RV parks offer on-site golfing for guests. Streamside RV Park & Golf Course features a 12-hole golf course surrounding the campground. According to a reviewer, "There is a 12 hole golf coarse that surrounds the campground" and "Everyone here is a golfer and there are no children."
Visit local waterfalls: While exploring the region, take a short drive to nearby natural attractions. A visitor to Brennan Beach mentioned, "One staff member Mike told us about Salmon River Falls. We went and it is a 'must see' while there. Basically 15 minutes from the campground."
Waterfront views: Many campers appreciate direct access to Lake Ontario. At Sun Outdoors Association Island, the setting provides panoramic views. A reviewer shared, "Our site was a pull in and we faced a western view of Lake Ontario. We were treated to gorgeous sunsets and minimal light pollution at night. The stars were everywhere."
Level sites with concrete pads: Properly developed sites make setup easier for RV campers. As noted about Ontario Shores RV Park, "There are 7 overnight pull thru full hookup sites with concrete patio. Sites are level and spacious. Open field to walk the dog or for children."
Recreational amenities: Many parks offer additional activities on-site. At The Villages RV Park at Turning Stone, campers find numerous options: "Offers a pool, playground, hiking trail, fishing pond, paddleboat rentals, camp store, very clean bath houses throughout, maintained sites, fire rings at each site."
Tight spacing during peak season: Many campgrounds become crowded during summer months. One reviewer of Association Island noted, "This campground was nice but very crowded. It was Memorial Day weekend but the spots were not very big."
Seasonal closures affect availability: Most facilities in the region shut down by mid-October. According to information from multiple parks, the typical operating season runs "May 1 to October 15" with limited exceptions.
Insect activity from Lake Ontario: Proximity to the lake brings increased bug populations. A camper at Swan Bay Resort warned: "One HUGE downfall was the amount of BUGS! Millions (not exaggerating) of midges and mayflies swarming the grounds from Lake Ontario. Be prepared to deal with this."
Look for dedicated play areas: Parks with structured activities keep children entertained. Brennan Beach Campground provides multiple options as mentioned by a visitor: "Very nice camp store, pools, playground, and restaurants. Spent time at the beach which is also very nice."
Consider noise levels at different campgrounds: Some RV parks near Mannsville cater specifically to adults while others welcome families. At Streamside RV Park, a camper noted the adult-oriented atmosphere: "Everyone here is a golfer and there are no children."
Military families have dedicated options: Fort Drum Recreation Area provides exclusive camping for service members near Watertown. A military camper shared: "With my family and pets in tow, we took a weekend and committed it to nature and ourselves. Remington is a Military campground, but for the several military families looking to disconnect a couple of miles from home this would be it."
Reserve well in advance for waterfront sites: Prime locations fill quickly during peak season. At Association Island, specific site selection matters: "I definitely recommend the sunrise side. The sunset is of course beautiful but sunrise sites are much bigger and can lead right to the water which is much nicer."
Be prepared for variable wind conditions: Lakefront locations experience significant wind. One regular camper mentioned: "Our neighbor (who has camped here seasonally for the last four years) mentioned that he lost three awnings to the wind. So, don't leave your awning out when you leave your camper."
Budget appropriately for varying site costs: Prices fluctuate significantly based on location and amenities. A visitor to Swan Bay Resort observed: "Campsite costs depends on whether you get a waterfront (which is $95/night even in the off-season), water view, pull thru, or standard site."
