    Letchworth State Park Campground permits dogs in three specific camping loops (100, 200, and 700), giving pet owners access to electric hookups, fire pits, and picnic tables across these designated areas. Several nearby options include The Ridge Campsite, Four Winds Campground, and Jellystone Park of Western New York, all accommodating pets with varying amenities. Letchworth's bathhouses in pet-friendly loops feature modern facilities with four private restrooms and showers. Pets must remain leashed throughout the park, including on trails and at campsites. The campgrounds maintain large, spacious sites with mature trees providing natural shade for dogs during summer months.

    Hiking trails throughout Letchworth State Park offer excellent opportunities for exercising dogs while enjoying the park's renowned gorge views and waterfalls. The gorge trail provides access to lower, middle, and upper falls with multiple scenic overlooks suitable for leashed pets. Wildlife is active near campsites, requiring proper food storage and pet supervision. Nearby towns like Perry, approximately five minutes from Letchworth, provide emergency veterinary services and pet supplies when needed. During high-traffic weekends such as Memorial Day (balloon rally) and Columbus Day (arts and crafts show), the park becomes exceptionally crowded, potentially creating challenges for pet owners. Seasonal considerations include warmer temperatures from May through October when most pet-friendly campgrounds in the area operate.

      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, 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!!

      Shamrock Pines Campground

      Clean and friendly

      Called up on Friday afternoon of Labor Day weekend and they accommodated us for two nights.  John and his staff were friendly and welcoming.  Very clean campground with mostly seasonal sites.  Several overnight sites with electric and water.  These sites were mostly gravel and cut into a bank so that there is some separation.  Surrounded by trees but grounds are well kept.  Fully fenced dog park that was great for our pup.  A couple of ponds for kids to fish and what looks like a nice pool.  Quiet hours observed.  On Saturday night there was a band in an outdoor stage that was great.

      Close enough to Ellicottville to enjoy the shops, brewery and restaurants there.

      Only thing I would mention is the dump station is simply just a pipe off one of the driveways with a water hose.  Not a problem and it works, just not typical of dump stations.

      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.

      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!

      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.

      Letchworth State Park Campground

      Unexpected Surroundings

      In most states, those without falls like Niagara, this state park would be the pride of the land. With three serious drops in as many miles, the Genesse River winds it’s way through what locals call the “Grand Canyon of the East.” Many states try to make such claims, but this might be the closest any come to actually living up to such. It is stunning! 

      Along the river this park gives the motorist the distinct feel that she is on a parkway, not unlike Shenendoah, or Blue Ridge. Every few miles the winding pavement breaks out onto a few of the ridges and valley below, before ducking back into the forest of Western New York.

      The campground, which is about 15 miles from the major falls area, offers what many come to expect from state parks. There are a wide variety of campsites, all reservable online, which can accommodate lots of different types of camping, large RV’s, small tents, and everything in between. Most, if not all, campsites offer electrical and water is available close by.

      The bathrooms are practically luxurious by most camping standards, with single-use restroom/ showers available at all hours. The camp store offered a few grocery items, along with cold drinks, firewood and ice in addition to laundry facilities. 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. 

      But let’s be honest, we’re not coming here for the campground, it’s the rest of the park that makes the drive worth it. So, check it out and get to know this stunning place first hand and be sure to bring a picnic basket.

    Guide to Nunda

    Letchworth State Park and surrounding areas offer pet friendly camping near Nunda, New York. With elevations ranging from 700 to 1,400 feet, this region features diverse landscapes including gorges, forests, and several fishing ponds. Summer temperatures typically range from 65-85°F during camping season, with occasional thunderstorms requiring proper site preparation.

    What to Do

    Waterfall exploration: At Stony Brook State Park Campground, visitors can enjoy unique water features within walking distance of campsites. "Stony brook is one of my all time favs. a clean and welcoming park with gorgeous views and trails for all adventurers," notes Brittany B. The park includes multiple small waterfalls and natural swimming areas.

    Miniature golf and recreation: Family activities are abundant at Woodstream Campsite, which offers affordable entertainment options. "Playground, swimming pond, camp store, fishing trout stream throughout the campground. Miniature golf, game room, basketball court," explains John F. These activities provide alternatives when not hiking the nearby state parks.

    Creek hiking: When water levels permit, creek exploration offers a unique experience. "We were able to hike and climb up to more falls and swimming holes when the creek level came down one day," shares Cassondra P. about Sugar Creek Glen Campground. This activity requires proper footwear and monitoring water levels.

    What Campers Like

    Natural swimming areas: Several campgrounds feature distinctive swimming options beyond standard pools. "This park is beautiful and has a unique swimming area- a 'pool' carved from the mountain!" explains Kayti D. about Stony Brook. These natural water features provide relief during hot summer days.

    Spacious wooded sites: Campers appreciate the natural separation between sites at multiple campgrounds. "The sites are large and spacious with mature trees providing natural shade," states Nick O. about The Ridge Campsite. Many campgrounds maintain wooded areas between sites for privacy.

    Wildlife viewing: Bird watching opportunities abound throughout the region. "A great park for bird watching. Particularly if you like Blue Jays. I couldn't get over how many there were!!" reports Verity S. Morning and evening hours typically offer the best wildlife viewing opportunities.

    What You Should Know

    Terrain challenges: Some campgrounds require vehicles with adequate clearance. At Sugar Creek Glen, "If you are on a tent site you have to drive through the creek which can close at times due to high water levels," warns Cassondra P. Always check current conditions before arrival.

    Bathroom facilities: Campground bathroom quality varies significantly. "The bathrooms are clean and they provide poop bags for your pups," notes Seth K. at Sugar Creek Glen. However, some remote sites rely on vault toilets or portable facilities.

    Seasonal considerations: Most area campgrounds operate from May through mid-October. "The hills are absolutely gorgeous in the fall," remarks Shari G. about Letchworth State Park Campground. Fall camping requires warmer clothing as overnight temperatures can drop below 40°F.

    Tips for Camping with Families

    Multiple playgrounds: Family-oriented campgrounds typically feature multiple recreation areas. "Loved the activities to do for kids. Great place to just hang soft anweekend. Kids loved it," shares Kelly J. about Jellystone Park of Western New York. These structured play areas complement natural attractions.

    Holiday activities: Special event weekends provide additional entertainment. "Around Halloween all the RVs decorate and the kids dress up for trick or treating," explains Carlyne F. Reservations for these themed weekends often fill months in advance.

    Creek play considerations: Shallow creek areas provide natural play spaces. "Tent sites along a confluence of creeks; ankle deep clear water. Amazing miles of upstream hiking, water holes, rope swings, etc. Perfect for little kids and adults," advises Andy B. Supervise children closely near water and check daily conditions.

    Tips from RVers

    Site access challenges: Several campgrounds have tight access roads. "Driveway getting in and out is a little tight for big units, definitely have to swing wide," cautions Nick O. about The Ridge Campsite. Scout routes before attempting with larger rigs.

    Electric service variations: Power reliability can be an issue at some locations. "Be prepared for very low power voltage drops with nothing running in your site," warns Kirstie D. Consider bringing a surge protector and monitor voltage when operating multiple appliances.

    Level site availability: Many campgrounds in the area offer relatively flat sites. "Campsites are level and spacious among the trees," notes Carlyne F. When booking, request information about specific site grades if traveling with larger rigs.
