    **Closed for renovations**

    This is a future project that is NOT currently open to the public!

    Pending Post:

    Little Creek Camp is a unique place to relax, reconnect, or rejoice 'round the campfire. Little Creek Camp is a year-round ideal tenting spot for travelers, families and nature enthusiasts.

    FREE Firewood. Bring your axe! We have provided fire-rings for you to use at your chosen tent site.

    TENTS PREFERED

    Tent sites: Park in the driveway and walk your gear to any spot you find comfortable. Your campsite depends on you.

    Pull-behinds: ok to park where you see fit. Depending on recent weather, the ground may be too soft for RVs/Campers to turn around.

    BYOBF 'Bring Your Own BIRD FEEDER'

    The property is loaded with hummingbirds, songbirds, woodpeckers, even an owl on occasion… July through August is a very active time for these little guys, as they chipper and play near the Rhododendron bushes or the fruit trees in the hammock-hangout. Bring and hang a full hummingbird feeder, or any bird feeder, near your campsite for a closer look at our little friends.

    Foraging on site: Wild Blackberry, Raspberry, Blueberry, mushroom, nuts… bring your NYS foraging guide! Come for the birds, the berries, or the foliage, please leave nothing but footprints.

    THIS IS NOT A CAMPGROUND

    This is a judgement free, welcoming space that should be respected.

    There is no public restroom, a shovel can be provided

    There is no electricity on site.

    No running water other than the stream. It seems clear, but it is not safe to drink.

    For shower: there is a public shower at the Beach House at Fair Haven State Park.

    NO Hunting on site.

    Please engage in 'active raccoon control' meaning, lock any food in the car before bed or when not in use. Raccoons are naturally shy animals that prefer to retreat when they sense humans nearby. Removing access to food sources is the most effective raccoon control.

    Adventuring? Nearby attractions are a NYS specialty. This is a great location for anyone visiting Fair Haven Beach, Sterling Nature Center or nearby Chimney Bluffs. The NYS Renaissance Festival is only a few minutes’ drive.

    Lipstick on a pig

    After 6 years of 2 weeks visits

    Pros: New owners have made improvements to be up to code and qualifications for KOA standards. 

    Cons: Still has environment of nosy, trashy seasonal campers who are always being rude or commenting on your gear/unit. 

    If you are looking for a quick flip bit same ole suspects, this is the place for you.

    Tent camping in a backyard

    Tent camping here felt like we were camping in a neighborhood backyard. We could hear so many different families talking and really doing everything you do while camping but the area felt so open and unobstructed voices carried and in the evening when everyone was building campfires the smoke could be overwhelming at times.

    Great getaway time

    5/5 Stars!

    I recently stayed at Sned Acres Campground, and it was an incredible experience! The campground is beautifully maintained with stunning views of Cayuga Lake. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. The facilities were spotless, and the campsites were spacious and well-kept. Whether you’re RVing or tent camping, there’s plenty of space and privacy.

    The location is perfect for exploring the Finger Lakes region, with wineries, hiking, and local attractions just a short drive away. The peaceful atmosphere and serene surroundings made for a relaxing getaway. I can’t recommend Sned Acres enough – we’ll definitely be back!

    Cozy campground. Clean single person bathrooms. Golf cart, paddle board and kayak rentals available. Campground is on a very steep hill so it is difficult to walk around.

    Hamlin Beach State Park Campground

    Beautiful and quiet

    07 and 08 2024.  We stayed in loop A, the showers and bathrooms are newer in this area and no matter what time of day or night I went, they were clean.  Sites have a good amount of trees and shade, if you need solar, look on Google maps first before picking site.  The parkway to Hamlin may have some shorter underpasses for tall rigs, so pay attention or check ahead if you have a large rig.  The beach is great, and there are several playgrounds for kids.  Never saw the dump stations busy, but then again we didn't go right at check out time either.  Kids will be kids and laugh and play during the day, even though we're retired, we enjoy the sound of happy children.  Come quiet time, it was just that, quiet.  Odds are you will need to level your rig, dirt, stone etc., but that's to be expected, we are camping after all.  All the staff that we came in contact with were pleasant and helpful.  We live relatively near Hamlin and plan on going there several times a year.  Perfect get away.

    Sned Acres Campground

    Beautiful Wide Open grounds with a lot of flat nice grass

    We stayed here for Memorial Day Weekend and really enjoyed Sned Acres. The Grounds are well taken care of (although some areas around the playgrounds and pool could have been weed whacked better) there is a lot of grass and wide open areas for playing games, walking your dogs and you can let your dogs drag their leashes so they have free roam and feel like they are running free. The large pond is nice, there were a lot of campers fishing. The general store is well stocked and the family running the campground and store are very friendly. There is a nice pool for the kids. The only thing that would make Sned better is a little more spacing between the sites, they are close (we were in F130) to where if you open your window shades in your camper your neighbors are 5-10 feet away from you. Would definitely stay again if in the area.

    Lakeview Camping Area — Fair Haven Beach State Park

    We decided to move on

    We drove through here but didn’t stay. The non-electric sites were pretty much all on hilly areas, most would be impossible for an RV to get level, though there were a few that would have worked. 

    We drove through the “bluffs” loop (electric sites), thinking it would be beautiful and look out on the water, but it was a nightmare for us, with huge RVs jam packed side by side like a parking lot. 

    The lakeview loop was nicer, but still too many RVs all in a row. There are also cute cabins here for rent. 

    When we were there the city was under a water advisory- all water had to be boiled before any kind of use. There was a dump station, and trash bins but no recycling (I’m disappointed in the lack of recycling at NY State campgrounds!) So, we moved on to Selkirk SP and stayed there instead.

    Selkirk Shores State Park Campground

    4 Different Loops

    This campground is 4 different loops- A loop is like the loop for people here for fishing, B loop is the mellower crowd, and C and D were our nightmares: mass chaos, children running amok, loud groups, no thanks. Apparently C and D are always booked and full, because people like that it’s closest to the beach trail, the playground, and the camp store. We chose a site in loop B and were happy with our choice. None of the sites at the campground have any privacy from your neighbor, you’re all sort of camped in a big circle. Sites 66 and 67 are the exception that we saw, they’re off together to the side and would be a good choice for two groups camping together. 

    There are dumpsters here, and there’s recycling for redeemable bottles and cans only, with proceeds going to the campground’s rec center. That was the most recycling I’ve seen offered at a NY state park campground yet, at least it’s something. 

    All sites are electric, some are 30 and some are 50amp. There’s a nice new dump station with several dumps and potable water. Good cell reception for both Verizon and ATT. NY State campgrounds require proof of rabies vaccinations for your dogs.
