      Robert H. Treman State Park Campground

      Beautiful waterfalls!

      This is a really great state park which has a nice campground, beautiful scenery, interesting attractions nearby, and great hiking trails. The biggest attraction are the 12 waterfalls in the park. Some are easy, short walks, and others are moderate and longer. The Rim and Gorge Trails make a loop which makes for a really good workout with lots of stairs and elevation change. Personally, I think the views from the Gorge Trail are better. Or, you can park in the upper lot and walk down (approximately 1/3 mile) to see Lucifer Falls and walk back. Fall is a great time to visit and enhances the views. 

      All campsites are back-in and have fire pits and picnic tables. Some are in the open(#49-72)with a scattering of trees, while others are tucked in the woods with lots of shade. The open sites are much easier for big rigs to navigate and back into. There is no water or sewer at sites but water spigots are located throughout the campground and the dump station is easy to access on your way out and has a dedicated water fill station away from the dump site. Our site (#52) was open which we appreciated in because the fall weather was cool and we had a clear sky for Dish satelitte. The pad was gravel and level. The patio is grass and there is nice distance between you and your neighbors Some sites are dry camping and other have electric that varies from 30 or 50-amp and the price reflects which you choose. Our site was electric only (50-amp which worked well) and we were close enough to a shared water spigot so we could add water. There are signs that say you can only hookup to the spigots for five minutes and “Y” connectors are not allowed. Swimming is allowed in the pools and river but has certain daily hours and is only open from late-June to Labor Day. Your receipt and park pass allow you access to other NY state parks in the area. Definitely check out Buttermilk Falls State Park which is just a couple of miles away and has nice hiking trails and more beautiful waterfalls. We visited the Cornell Lab of Ornithology (which is free) and has interesting exhibits, short films, and hiking trails.

      Great Car Camping Stay

      Spent a peaceful night car camping in site 151. Beautiful trees, nice shower houses, quiet neighbors. Just a beautiful and very affordable - $32 - stay. We’ll be back whenever we pass this way.

      Yogi Bears Jellystone Park Camp Resort at Mexico

      Run down, arrogant and disrespectful ownership, severe safety concerns

      I would never return to this campground. We rented a golf cart, and while going downhill, the rear wheel came completely off because the lug nuts were not secured. My 1-year-old and 6-year-old were on the cart, and we were extremely fortunate that no one was injured. When I expressed how serious and upsetting this was and how close my children were to being injured the owner’s response was,“But were they?” When I explained that my children were thankfully not injured but were shaken up by the incident, he sarcastically questioned whether my 1-year-old could be traumatized. They did provide us with another golf cart afterward, but I consider that the bare minimum after being given an unsafe rental. After the apparent lack of proper inspection of the cart and the ill-mannered response to such a serious safety issue, I would never recommend this campground.

      Great Place to camp

      This was a great camping trip! We had site 29, nice spot with the North Rim trail right behind our site. Trails are beautiful. Restroom and shower close. You do need to be careful, lots of oaks trees and falling acorns! Easily dings you car hood, watch where you park. Close to down town for a visit to the awesome farmers market in Ithaca.

      Watkins Glen State Park Campground

      Beautiful and Affordable

      Second year we have camped here in June prior to the IMSA race at the racetrack. The sites are all spread out with a nice tree canopy. There are two loops (Mohawk and Seneca) with electric, and 5 more for tent camping or boon docking RV. There is a trail that connects directly with the state park with all the waterfalls. Water spigots onsite liberally spread out and the showers/ toilets pristine. With my senior America pass it cost me $103 for 3 days. Love this place

      Everything was great up until the neighbor started running the generator

      Everything was great, RIGHT UP UNTIL some inconsiderate neighbor rolled in with their RV and let their generator roar from 7am to 10pm, ALL. DAY. If you’ve ever had to endure that mind-numbing drone, you know exactly how close it comes to making you lose your mind. We ended up cutting our trip short just to escape it. Absolutely miserable, selfish people who clearly don’t care who they ruin a trip for

      Selkirk Shores State Park Campground

      Beautiful View

      We thought the campground was beautiful, tight to your neighbors on majority of sites, and lack of trash cans for pet waste especially since the campground is so big. It has ball field, 2 playgrounds, rec room, camp store, lake Ontario to swim, trails for multi use, and pavillions. Down fall for us was small site , lack of trash cans to toss pet waste, not being told about fill station because there is no water faucets like most state parks along campground. We were there for first time so not familiar with park. Office did not offer us a map to get to our site or clue us in on filling our tank prior to parking camper. Main gate personnel not on same information. bathrooms could be cleaned more often. bathhouse building is all gender with bathrooms on one side of building and showers on other. Bathroom and showers are private space rooms. Beach is very rocky with little sand area. Life guards only guard one side of beach making everyone crowded to one side

    What to do

    Hiking at nearby trails: Taughannock Falls State Park has several well-maintained trails leading to one of the tallest waterfalls east of the Mississippi. "The falls trails were all well defined and excellent for a beginner, moderate hiker. More advanced trails were also offered as well as biking trails, so plenty for any level of adventurer," notes Steve W. in his review of Taughannock Falls State Park Campground.

    Fishing in Cayuga Lake: The lake offers abundant fishing opportunities year-round with several species available. "My campsite was very clean and was well equipped with a fire ring picnic table and a restroom nearby. There was a lot of seed weed washed up and you can smell it. That was the only downside. The night is very quiet and and a nice breeze," shares Kevin T. about his fishing experience at Cayuga Lake.

    Visit historic sites: The region features several historical attractions including the former Naval training base at Sampson State Park Campground. "It was a Naval training base during WWll. About 45 minutes from Rochester and about hr and half from Syracuse. It has a Naval museum with many authentic items from that era," explains Brian O. in his review.

    Swimming in designated areas: Many campgrounds feature swimming beaches with lifeguards during summer months. "Swimming is available at the large beach. You can rent a kayak and enjoy the beautiful lake. There are miles of trails to explore," mentions Cindy H. about Green Lakes State Park.

    What campers like

    Spacious campsites: Sites at several campgrounds provide ample room without feeling crowded. "We stayed in the 800 loop along the tree line. Sites were very spacious! Great camping location with plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy or just sit and enjoy the peace," writes Colleen M. about Cayuga Lake State Park.

    Clean facilities: Many campgrounds maintain clean restrooms and shower facilities. "The bathrooms have been remodeled and most are private with a toilet, shower and sink which makes this a wonderful family campground," states Sheri S. about Green Lakes State Park Campground.

    Lake access: Direct access to lakes for swimming, fishing and boating ranks high among camper preferences. "The lake is gorgeous, and if you go at the right time of year, the flowers are blooming and it's just amazing. The campsites are pretty close together, so it does lack some privacy from your neighbors, but I felt like I was hardly around my campsite to even notice. I was too busy playing in the lake, hiking, and riding my bike on some paths," shares Kari M.

    Proximity to attractions: Convenient location near wineries, waterfalls and towns makes Port Byron camping appealing. "The location is perfect for exploring the Finger Lakes region, with wineries, hiking, and local attractions just a short drive away," notes Rui T. about Sned Acres Campground.
