Best RV Parks & Resorts near Richland, NY

RV campgrounds near Richland offer a mix of seasonal and year-round options accommodating various sized rigs. Brennan Beach RV Resort provides over 1,300 sites with full hookups and operates from May through October, catering primarily to larger motorhomes with big rig accessibility. Ontario Shores RV Park features seven pull-through sites with concrete patios and full hookups. "A well kept quiet place. The seasonal campers are friendly. Sites are level and spacious," noted one visitor about Ontario Shores. Streamside RV Park combines camping with a 12-hole golf course and offers back-in sites with full hookups for $37.50 per night, while Sun Outdoors Association Island (formerly a KOA) provides waterfront RV sites on Lake Ontario with newly paved roads.

Several parks in the area undergo seasonal closures from mid-October through early May due to harsh winter conditions. Most campgrounds require advance reservations during summer weekends and fishing season, with many offering sewer dump stations and 50-amp electrical service. Cell service varies considerably throughout the region, with stronger signals near Pulaski and weaker coverage in some lakeside locations. Pets are generally welcome at most RV parks, though restrictions apply at beaches and certain common areas. A camper reported: "There is a lot of construction going on as the grounds are now owned by Sun RV Resorts. That was annoying and disruptive to us but the improvements will be nice for the future." Many parks feature on-site amenities including camp stores, laundry facilities, and recreation areas, with proximity to Lake Ontario being a major draw for fishing enthusiasts.

    The Villages RV Park at Turning Stone

    Great One Night Stop - Would Have Stayed Longer!

    We scheduled a pull through for 1 night last minute due to an unexpected change in plans. We are a full-time traveling family (2 kids - 8 & 13) and 2 English Bulldogs. We have a Class A motorhome and flat tow a Jeep. The campground was beautiful and easy to get in and out of. The sites were level and great size with nice spacing in between. The location was nice too! We did head over to the casino briefly and enjoyed that. We also took a drive to the University of Syracuse to tour the campus. Clean and wonderful park. Would definitely recommend.

    Soft Maple Campground

    Small and completely gorgeous! Beach, wooded sites, great for everyone.

    Soft Maple is a truly gorgeous small campground. Only about a dozen sites or so, first come first serve. Level sites for RVs or tent or hammock camping. Each site has a nice space with fire ring and picnic table. The beach is lovely and clean. There’s boat access for canoes and kayaks as this is part of the Beaver River route. 

    The entire campground is accessible, with gravel pack paths, and level sites.  

    Charlie is the caretaker here and everyone says he is the nicest person you’ll meet.  You can’t beat site number 11 for the perfect mix of treelined and water view!

    There is space for RVs and a dump station but the sites do not have power or hookups. 

    If you come in to the campground from “number 4 road” (aka state rt. 26) it’s exactly five miles from the Left turn on to Soft Maple rd. If you have time, stop halfway- the 2.5 mile mark will bring you to the entrance for Eagle falls, a short hike with a fantastic reveal.

    Cherry Grove Campground

    Very nice small campground

    We stayed at Cherry Grove in May ‘23 with a Fifth wheel camper. The park is very well maintained.  Sites are good sized and packed gravel.  WiFi is very good, as is cell service from Verizon and T-Mobile. It Most of the campground is seasonal, but all of the campers were friendly.

    Green Lakes State Park Campground

    Good experience - lovely swimming area and lakes!

    We had a great stay at this park. We enjoyed biking and exploring the lovely blue-green lakes. The swimming area was awesome. We were on the edge of a the large RV section in Pinewoods with premium sites. However, they are all in the bright sun - no shade. It was great having the camp store so close!

    Kayuta Lake Campground and Marina

    Right at the gateway to the Adirondacks, a real gem of a campground!

    We've visited this campground 6 times since we found it 4 years ago, and keep coming back for more. Easy access, great staff, well kept facilities and a beautiful setting. What more can you ask for?

    The sites themselves are a good size. They aren't huge, but you'll have enough room to get creative with your parking. Plenty of trees to hang your hammocks on. All sites have a picnic table and fire pit, and for the most part are fairly level. Not all sites have full hookups, some are just power, some are only grey water, and some are full. There are a lot of full timers here, so the grounds can look fuller than they really are as most often the majority of the full time sites are not occupied. But on big weekends, when everyone shows up, its still not too crowded.

    The facilities are modern and well kept. The only issue I had was the shower heads are at about 5'2" above the floor. I'm 6' tall. So that kinda sucked. But the pressure and temp were great, so its still a win. Plus, camping isn't really about taking showers anyways, right? Other than that the bath houses are well maintained and stocked. And they are never more than a quick walk from your camper.

    Did I mention there is a pool? There is. And its HEATED. Which is nice, as we often get up there early or late in the season, and a heated pool is a necessity. There's also a good sized playground, an arcade, and lots of games for kids (and adults) to play like basketball, shuffle board, corn hole or horse shoes.

    They have a great little shop there too, with just about everything you'd need to make a great weekend. And the staff is fantastic as well. The river is a little weird to get to, but totally worth it for kayaking, sailing or whatever kind of boating you want to do.

    So that's a lotta Pro's. I should list some Cons too, to keep it fair.

    • The sites are kinda close, so you don't get a ton of privacy, and you can really hear what's going on next door.
    • The roadways can get a little tight between the trees, and can make for some interesting backing in.
    • Also, the roadways are mostly one-way, which can make getting creative with your trailer landing position tough.
    • They offer free wifi.
    • Not all sites have full hookups
    • Personally I'm not a fan of such an abundance of full-time units. But at least they're well kept (for the most part) and it is a few degrees shy of looking like a trailer park. You know what I mean.

    Check them out, and they'll become one of your favorites too!

    Birch Haven Campground

    Would not stay again!

    Not really sure what to say about this campground, other than I would not stay here again (thus a one-star rating). It really is not what you would think of as a “campground” or “RV Park.” It is a decent price at $40/night + tax for a 50-amp full hook-up site but it is pretty dumpy. There are tons of seasonal campers that look like they have not moved in years. Most of those units are pretty run down park models and people don’t seem to care. In all fairness, we visited early in the season and many people had not “opened” up their campers yet. There are a few transient sites that you can rent by the night in the center portion of the park. Our site was grassy but not very level. There is a picnic table and fire pit. The electric worked fine and the sewer and water were easy to reach. They do have a rental cottage right on the water which has a great view but couldn’t see inside to tell if it was nice or not. There are restrooms and washer/dryer somewhere on site, but we did not look inside. The grounds seemed pretty well cared for with the grass being mowed and no trash lying about.  Access to the park is easy in and out off route 12 and well-marked.

    The campground is fairly small and not great for a decent dog walk so I found the Zenda Preserve which is a nice hike around a farm field. There are numerous other trails managed by the Thousand Island Lakes Trust that are very nice (we also liked the MacSherry Trail in the town of Redwood). 

    On the bright side, the campground is close to downtown Clayton. There are really cute shops, restaurants, and museums and the downtown parks are great places to watch the sunset. The Wood Boat Brewery brews great beer and has really good food. There are numerous other places to stay for a couple of nights or week which would be preferable.

    Delta Lake State Park Campground

    Delta Lake State Park

    A very nice, tidy campground located on a peninsula jutting into Delta Lake in Central NY. Our site was level and large enough for our 22ft Airstream, a 4-person tent, pop-up canopy, and 2 vehicles. A picnic table and fire ring were on the site. Our site had 30A electrical service. The surface of the site was dirt with some small stones…no grass. Trees surrounded the site on 3 sides, providing some privacy and a place to hang a hammock. We were able to carry our paddle boards to the lake, walking less than 200ft through some woods.


Guide to Richland

RV sites near Richland, New York sit along the eastern shore of Lake Ontario in Oswego County, where seasonal lake effect weather creates distinct camping seasons. The region experiences heavy snowfall in winter months, accumulating over 200 inches annually in some locations, which explains the May to October operational window for most campgrounds. Water access is a primary draw for campers visiting this area, with fishing opportunities in both Lake Ontario and nearby salmon-rich tributaries.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: Henderson Harbor provides excellent access to Lake Ontario fishing. One visitor at Sun Outdoors Association Island noted, "Fishing was fun…lots of places to go to fish and the scenery was awesome." The site was previously known as 1000 Islands Association Island KOA.

Golfing: Multiple campgrounds offer golf access. The 12-hole course at Streamside RV Park & Golf Course surrounds the camping area. "We stopped here for a night going from Niagara Falls area to upper vermont. There is a 12 hole golf coarse that surrounds the campground," explains one camper. Green fees are separate from camping costs.

Water activities: Kayaking and swimming are popular at lakefront locations. At Sun Outdoors Association Island, campers appreciate direct water access: "We were able to drop our kayaks right in the water in front of our rig and paddle to our heart's content. The water is clear and cool."

What campers like

Waterfront views: Lake Ontario sunsets receive consistent praise from visitors. A camper at Sun Outdoors Association Island reported, "Sunsets were phenomenal! I mean, jaw dropping gorgeous." Many RV sites face directly toward the water for prime viewing.

Spacious sites: Ontario Shores RV Park offers concrete patio sites with room to spread out. A reviewer mentioned, "There are 7 overnight pull thru full hookup sites with concrete patio, Sites a level and spacious. Open field to walk the dog or for children."

Seasonal community: Many campgrounds host a mix of overnight and seasonal campers. At Treasure Isle RV Park, a visitor observed, "Owners and seasonals are very friendly, well maintained." The seasonal population creates a neighborhood-like atmosphere at many parks.

What you should know

Site accessibility: Most waterfront camping areas require advance planning. A camper at Brennan Beach Campground explained, "Very nice thousand trail campgrounds. Very large I believe it's 1300 + sites." The size means sites are available but locations vary in quality.

Weather considerations: Lake effect weather can be intense even in summer. Sun Outdoors Association Island visitors warn about winds: "The sunset is of course beautiful but sunrise sites are much bigger and can lead right to the water which is much nicer. It's a lot less windy and easier to be in the water."

Insect activity: Midges and mayflies can be problematic near the lake. One camper detailed their experience: "One HUGE downfall was the amount of BUGS! Millions (not exaggerating) of midges and mayflies swarming the grounds from Lake Ontario. Be prepared to deal with this as we were not and had to vacuum inside the RV every night for about an hour."

Tips for camping with families

Dedicated family areas: Some Richland area campgrounds have family-specific amenities. At Brennan Beach Campground, one family noted, "Spent 3 nights with our 2 sons and my husbands 2 granddaughters, all under age 12. Bathrooms/showers were clean. Site we stayed at had full hook ups. Very nice camp store, pools, playground, and restaurants."

Water safety planning: Lake Ontario has changing conditions. Families should check weather forecasts before water activities. "Nice pool. Not a lot to do if you don't have a boat, but great for a short weekend," observed a visitor about Sun Outdoors Association Island.

Local attractions: Nearby natural features offer day trip opportunities. As one Brennan Beach camper shared, "One staff member Mike told us about Salmon River Falls. We went and it is a 'must see' while there. Basically 15 minutes from the campground." The falls feature a 110-foot drop and hiking trails.

Tips from RVers

Reservation timing: For Richland area camping, book well ahead for premium spots. At The Villages RV Park at Turning Stone, campers note availability challenges: "Been coming here for 25 + years. There is the casino, dining, golf course and more near by." Many repeat visitors book a year ahead.

Site selection strategy: Choose sites based on prevailing winds. A Sun Outdoors Association Island reviewer advised, "Our site was a pull in and we faced a western view of Lake Ontario. We were treated to gorgeous sunsets and minimal light pollution at night. Our site backed up to the water and although it was windy they thought ahead and built the fire pit up to block it."

Utility considerations: Full hookups are standard at most RV sites near Richland. At Streamside RV Park, a visitor noted the value: "We had full hook up. The sites are tight like most RV parks. We paid $37.50 for a one night stay. That is a good price for full hook up."
