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.
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,
Very tight moving big fifth wheels and large tow vehicles
Race track is across the road I went over and enjoyed the mini sprint races on Saturday if your not into racing it is quite loud on Saturday night until 11pm
ScoutPrivacy is great there is your own spot electric and fire pit with a flip over grill to cook
ScoutFirst time actually tent camping as an adult and the campgrounds made it super easy to do so!

Evening quiet hours: Most campgrounds enforce 10 pm to 7 am quiet time. "We did a last minute reservation and ended up loving the place. There was good separation between the campsites and the bathrooms and showers were clean. Wasn't too far from a park along Ontario. Overall a great stay!" says Joseph W.
Short-term flexibility: Several campgrounds accommodate brief stays. "We stayed for 1 night on a Thursday. At&t reception is almost non existent. On a plus side the park itself is beautiful. Created by the CCC during the new deal," notes Rino S. about camping at Hamlin Beach.
Cell coverage varies significantly: Many camping areas have limited reception. "This is a nice little park. I've stayed four times in 2021, for a much as 2 weeks at a time. Cell phone coverage is poor by Verizon and T-Mobile, and there is no WiFi, and no camp store (but the town of Webster is nearby)," advises Carl C. about Webster Park.
Seasonal water levels: Spring camping often means wetter conditions, particularly at sites near the Erie Canal or Genesee River. Sites can remain muddy through early June. "We stayed 6 nights. There was an okay bathroom (a bit run down) and clean, separate hot showers nearby our site, but our site was muddy and numerous sites around us were muddy, too," reports Craig J.

Site leveling challenges: Many campgrounds require careful setup. "Almost all of the sites are not even close to level. Not a big issue with a fifth wheel but a real hassle with a motorcoach. We changed sites three times and finally resigned ourselves to not being leveled," shares Donna C. about Twilight on the Erie.
Playground proximity: When booking with children, request sites near play areas at Canandaigua-Rochester KOA. "This KOA has all that you need for a relaxing family trip. It is close to the finger lakes, is clean, has kid activities and a pond where the fish are easy to catch with hotdogs!" recommends Amy T.

Kid-friendly site selection: Look for end-of-loop locations with buffer space. "We go to webster park family campground several times a year for the past few years. We stay close to the playground these days in our pop up usually at site 5 so our 5 and 9 year old can walk or ride to campground. The campground is very quiet and very kid friendly to allow them to walk around and ride or scooter the loop alone," advises Scott C.

Showers and bathrooms clean! Sink available for dishes. Playground. Lots of beautiful trails!" reports Catherine about Webster Park.
Hookup configurations: Water access varies widely between campgrounds. At Southwoods RV Resort, "We chose a back-in 50-amp full hook-up site (M28) at $42/night. All the utilities were placed appropriately so we didn't need any extensions. The water pressure and electric were good," notes Nancy W.
Site selection for larger rigs: Big rigs need careful placement. "We had an amazing time at this park! Friendly people, plenty for the kids to do. Playground in walking distance and private sites!
