    Sned Acres Campground

    Nice place to stay while exploring the Finger Lakes

    We happened upon Sned Acres when Curveball was cancelled and had to make lemons out of lemonade. We were welcomed w a fresh loaf of bread and the owners made sure our group was able to stay together on neighboring sites. Out site was nicely shaded and across from the small lake. The showers were hot and the facilities were clean. It is a family campground w quiet hours after 9pm, so consider that when booking.

    Selkirk Shores State Park Campground

    NYS's best kept secret

    Selkirk is quiet and peaceful. Electricity is available on many sites. The beach is good for children and they have a great recreation program for the kids. While we were there they had a reptile exhibit with huge snakes and crocodiles, another day they had tie dyeing t-shirts, other days they had bingo(candy was the prize), exercises, and crafty things to make. Firewood is available on site, with delivery if you buy 1/4 cord and up.

    Ontario County Park at Gannett Hill

    Wonderful!

    Great secluded tent camping (recomend numbers 7 and 8), cabins are new and ample beds and space. Camper camping is close to everything, but less privacy. Numerous pavilions that are wonderful for parties or weddings. Stunning overlook that is breathtaking (also great for weddings). Hiking, bike trails, fishing pond, playground, open fields for sports, much more!!! Great for photo shoots, weekend stress getaways etc. I live close by and visit a few times a month.

    Canandaigua-Rochester KOA

    Camping near Canandaigua, New York

    Campers exploring the Canandaigua area discover a delightful mix of lakeside retreats, wooded state parks, and family-friendly RV resorts. Just minutes from downtown, Canandaigua City Park Campground offers easy access to local shops and the lakefront beach, making it a convenient base for those who want town amenities within walking distance. A short drive farther out leads to Keuka Lake State Park Campground and the privately owned Canandaigua-Rochester KOA, both of which feature spacious sites, clean facilities, and excellent opportunities for swimming, kayaking, and fishing on the Finger Lakes. For those seeking a quieter experience, numerous backcountry and dispersed sites are tucked into the surrounding National Forest, where campers can truly unplug—though it’s essential to bring all necessary supplies and practice Leave No Trace principles. Ontario County Park at Gannett Hill and the Stay Bristol Woodlands campground blend rustic charm with modern comforts: well-maintained restrooms, picnic shelters, and on-site hiking trails that wind through hardwood forests and offer scenic overlooks, especially stunning during fall foliage season. Travel logistics are a breeze when visitors prearrange an airport shuttle from Rochester or Syracuse airports, ensuring a smooth transition from plane to campsite. And for adventurers mapping out multiple stops across the Finger Lakes or beyond, reliable multi-city transfers provide comfortable, door-to-door rides—no rental car necessary. With its blend of waterfront sites, wooded hideaways, and nearby attractions—wineries, waterfalls, and historic villages—the Canandaigua region truly has something for every type of camper. Whether pitching a tent under the stars or rolling in with an RV, visitors will find endless opportunities for adventure and relaxation.

    Sampson State Park Campground

    Amazing camp location

    There is a museum, boat launch, pavilions, and ice cream shop on the camp ground. The bathrooms are great with showers and each camp spot has plenty of distance away from the next one. They were building amazing lakeside cottages the last time I went and the cabins were small but could sleep 3-4 people in one room. Parking was great and the trails were clear. Maintenance crew starts around 7.

    Yogi Bears Jellystone Park Camp Resort at Mexico

    One of the best campgrounds for kids of all ages!

    Quickly becoming one of our favorite campgrounds! So much to do here for the little ones, and so much beauty to soak in for us older ones! The staff here is excellent, and are always willing to do what they can to make sure you're having a great stay. The setting is absolutely gorgeous. Well treed, nicely sized spaces and fairly easy access for large rigs. Bathrooms are well spaced and plentiful, and well maintained. The showers are actual showers, and are taller than I am (which is nice!). So many activities for the kids, a great pool, mini-golf, parades, just non stop action to keep them going and tire them out! Highly recommended! Well worth the short drive up from Syracuse, or a longer drive from elsewhere!

    Sampson State Park Campground

    Solid option in the finger lakes.

    We camped here for 3 nights, I had an event in Geneva. Location was handy, easy in and out. It’s an old navy/Air Force base that was converted in the 60’s. Sites have a weird thing with one electric post per two sites… but they aren’t pull through. So, apparently, New York doesn’t care if you just park anywhere in the general area of your site, which is a vibe, but bring an extension cord. There’s some kind of “resort” co-located that appears to have more conventional hookups, but I’m unclear on how to book that. Price was fine, spot was ok, lake swim beach and playground were nice.

    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

Guide to Sodus Point

Glamping close to Sodus Point, New York offers outdoor accommodations ranging from basic canvas tents to climate-controlled glamping pods along Lake Ontario's southern shore. The area sits at approximately 394 feet above sea level with a humid continental climate featuring warm summers and cold, snowy winters. The camping season typically runs from mid-April through October, with most luxury camping options closed during winter months.

What to do

Water activities on Cayuga Lake: At Cayuga Lake State Park Campground, visitors can boat, fish, and swim in the clear waters. "Kayaking in Cayuga Lake was not lacking some beautiful views. The sites are slightly close together but everyone was incredibly respectful and quiet by 10pm," notes Laura Nicole A.

Military history exploration: Sampson State Park Campground features a Naval museum with authentic WWII artifacts. A camper mentioned, "It has a Naval museum with many authentic items from that era. Very shady and ample bathroom, shower, and water facilities."

Winery tours: Upscale camping spots near Sodus Point provide access to local vineyards. A visitor at Sned Acres Campground shared, "Conveniently located close to lots of wineries," while another added, "There were tons of wineries nearby, as well as some breweries and a beer garden, hiking, and waterfalls."

What campers like

Spacious, private sites: Many premium camping areas offer larger sites for privacy. At Lake Bluff RV Park, campers appreciate the generous space. "Took a video to show our favorite camp site," shared Sara H., while another camper noted, "We camped so much here we got a free nights stay!"

Family-focused amenities: Campgrounds in the region often feature recreational facilities. According to a Lake Bluff visitor, "Near the play ground they have a nice game room pool, air hockey, video games. There is a change machine too."

Waterfront access: Webster Park provides direct access to Lake Ontario beaches. A camper shared, "This is a nice little park. I've stayed four times in 2021, for a much as 2 weeks at a time," while another mentioned, "It's close to Lake Ontario and the Genesee River."

What you should know

Seasonal timing considerations: The premium glamping season runs April through October. A camper at Junius Ponds advised, "Reservations recommended especially during summer weekends. Well priced $42 per night for full hookups."

Weather preparation: The region experiences variable conditions. "We stayed at site 1002. I think this site is one of the best in the campground! Very secluded and private. Be weary that some of the camp sites are closer to playgrounds than they appear on the map. Bring lots of bugspray and fire starters as it does rain up here which affects the fire wood," reported Jeremy T.

Traffic patterns: Some luxury camping areas have distinct usage patterns. At Junius Ponds, one camper observed, "A would be beautiful campground is over run with seasonal campers and their golf carts. These fine folks never stop driving and take the time to walk and enjoy the the beauty of their surroundings."

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: When booking luxury accommodations with children, consider proximity to play areas. A camper at Cherry Grove Campground shared, "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."

Water safety planning: Lakefront premium camping requires vigilance. At Cayuga Lake, a visitor advised, "Small swimming area is a beautiful location, and overall good experience," while another mentioned the "Large playground" and "swimming" among the highlights.

Structured activities: Many upscale camping facilities offer organized events. A Lake Bluff camper noted, "They do events for kids every weekend. If you camp 6 nights in one season you get a night free!"

Tips from RVers

Site selection strategy: For larger rigs, carefully review site specifications. At Webster Park, a camper explained, "We go to webster park family campground several times a year for the past few years. The difference is 30a power and no water or sewer, 50a power and water, and 50a power and water/sewer."

Hookup management: Utility connections vary significantly between properties. At Sampson State Park, a visitor cautioned, "Electric service boxes are shared in-between sites. This could pose an issue if your power cord is not long enough. There is only source for water fill up. This could end up being a very very long wait if you arrive at the same time as other campers."

Navigation challenges: Some luxury camping areas have difficult access routes. At Junius Ponds, a camper reported, "The roads are narrow and hilly, but we pull a 36' 5th wheel (mid-profile) and we had no issues with branches. They had a oversized, long pull through available (site 88) that made entering and exiting the site nice and easy."
