Best Campgrounds near Nedrow, NY

421 Reviews

The Finger Lakes region surrounding Nedrow, New York features several established campgrounds with a range of accommodation options. Green Lakes State Park Campground, located about 9 miles northeast of Nedrow, provides tent sites, RV hookups, cabins, and glamping opportunities with access to two meromictic lakes known for their distinctive blue-green color. Morgan Hill State Forest, situated southwest of Nedrow, offers more primitive camping experiences with both designated and dispersed sites throughout its forested terrain. The camping landscape spans from full-service RV parks with modern amenities to undeveloped natural areas for those seeking a more rustic experience.

Camping in the Nedrow area generally operates seasonally, with most established campgrounds open from May through October. Green Lakes State Park operates from May 13 to October 9, while Oneida Shores County Park runs from April 25 to October 13, offering a slightly extended season. Reservation requirements vary by location, with state parks typically requiring advance bookings during peak summer months. Weather conditions can change rapidly, particularly during spring and fall seasons when temperature fluctuations are common. Cell coverage is generally reliable near developed areas but may be limited in more remote forest locations. A visitor noted that "Green Lakes is a great example of what a state park should be. It not only preserves a place of unique biological diversity and geologic interest, it is also well set up and well maintained to maximize low impact outdoor recreation."

Waterfront camping locations receive particularly positive feedback from visitors exploring the region. Many campgrounds feature lake access, swimming areas, and water-based recreation opportunities that complement the hiking trails and natural features. Morgan Hill State Forest provides a more secluded experience with its dispersed camping options, though amenities are minimal compared to developed campgrounds. Several campers mentioned the proximity to local attractions as a significant benefit, with one visitor commenting that Fillmore Glen State Park offers "beautiful trails" though the campground can get "totally full" during summer months. The region's camping areas provide convenient access to the numerous waterfalls, gorges, and lakes that characterize the Finger Lakes landscape, allowing visitors to experience both natural features and nearby cultural attractions.

    South Slope Trail Head Dispersed Camp

    Relaxing

    There is one campsite near trail. There was more traffic than I expected. Also there is no cell service. No real tires

    Yogi Bears Jellystone Park Camp Resort at Mexico

    Unfortunate

    Pros: river is awesome, wading, catching crayfish, cooling off. Staff were consistently friendly. Sites were flat, easy to level travel trailer. Plenty of kid activities, foam party, obstacle course, balloon launch, etc. Large store. Game room. Bathrooms (at least near the playground) were spacious, with toilet, sink, shower. Cons: signs/photo ops were crooked/loose/broken. Planted annual flowers were dead, overgrown with weeds. Miniature golf holes were falling apart. Bounce pad had a hole in it. The sand from around the edge was blowing from that hole into kids eyes, nose, mouth. Bathrooms were dirty; each has a 2-roll toilet paper dispenser; by early evening two stalls had zero TP left. Tent sites had used toilet paper along the tree line where others had used it as a bathroom. Fire pits were old tire rims, which worked, but unable to cook anything on it

    Pinecreek Campground

    Overnight stay

    The campground is cute and quiet. Staff is friendly and helpful. My only complaint is the condition of the roads. They are in dire need of grading and new gravel. Be careful!

    Mayfair Campground NY

    Mostly for seasonals

    We called to make last minute reservations for a one night stopover enroute to Vermont. The person on the phone was friendly and accommodating to our needs. When we arrived after hours, the entrance was gated with a card reader access which we did not have a card for. We tried calling back several times but a recording said that the line was busy. Luckily, another camper let us in. There are no signs to direct you which way to go and the sites are poorly marked. With some help from friendly campers we were eventually able to find our site. The sites are have a poorly graveled parking spot and the ground is a little soft. Restrooms are basic and minimal, having a single toilet and sink, a tiny mirror and hand dryer, however it was fairly clean and functional. I was told that there are new owners and they are making improvements

    Would stay again

    Me and my husband stayed here to visit a local friend and it wasn’t bad it was very private and quiet. The property was well maintained and the owners were very friendly as well. We would definitely come back here in the future.

    Finger Lakes National Forest

    Quiet site near a small pond

    The road in (a loop) is steep on both sides (a truck or vehicle with clearance would be helpful but you could also park at the bottom if you needed to). The site was trashy so we picked up a lot of what we could. A bonus—the site was quiet, roomy and once at the ‘top’ is quite level. Not vehicles came in or out all night (and it was a Saturday!).

    Bluff Camping Area — Fair Haven Beach State Park

    Shaded camping with Great Lake access

    I booked this site for one night and ended up staying three. Trying to avoid the heat, I was relieved that the shaded electric camping area staved off most of the days heat. I was in site 63 the first night and 68 the other two. 63 has more shade but 68 is right next to the bathroom and water spout if that’s important. I was able to find shade.

    Some people may find the sites too close together, I didn’t mind since I’m solo camping and feel a bit of safety with closer neighbors. The loop was majority RVs and campers but it was still quiet all night and until late morning.

    The showers and bathrooms are mostly clean and well stocked and there is a dedicated sink outside the building for dishes.

    What I really loved is how far into the park the camping is, you’re really surrounded by woods. There is also excellent and easy access to Lake Ontario.

    The park store has firewood, ice, and lots of other items like corn hole for rent. There is also a small boat shanty for boat rentals.
