RangerLarge 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.
GuideWe had so much fun at this campground! They have 7 miles of trails for hiking and golf carting! The trails were nice and maintained throughout the woods and fields. We saw lots of outdoor animals and heard even more at night. There is no ATM and no store with camping supplies. There are games, laundry and a vending machine that all take cash, so bring lots of singles. Clean bathrooms and nice sized sites. Everyone there was very friendly. Very close to Hammondsport, too.
RangerThis was our fourth trip to SCG and it’s always a blast. The water makes this campground such a great visit with kids.
Ankle deep water to play in all day and the waterfall hikes are great.
Restrooms are always very clean and the shower house was good too.
Owners and the general store are great.
ScoutI 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!
ScoutIts 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.
ScoutStayed 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.
GuideOur 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!!
TravelerNice 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,
