Westfield-Lake Erie KOA
1st stop across country
This campground is very clean on the smaller side but very nice. There is highway noise but in your camper you really can’t here it. Beautiful temp and lots of things for the kids to do. Pool, playground, game room. They do have a dog park if you bring your pups. Overall very nice. I would come back.

Overnighter
We only stayed for an overnighter on a long trip west. The restrooms and showers are some of the best we’ve seen during our trip. Very well maintained facilities and grounds and the staff are friendly and helpful. We were able to change our site for one that was more level without a problem. The only thing that might bother some people is the road noise. However we were able to sleep well despite it. There is also a dog “park”/fenced area.

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!!

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.
Guide to Springville
The Springville area sits in the foothills of western New York's Allegheny Mountains at elevations between 1,200-1,800 feet. Located in Erie County, the region's camping season typically runs from April through October with summer temperatures averaging 70-85°F. Winter snowfall can exceed 100 inches annually, making most campgrounds seasonal operations.
What to do
Creek exploration: East Otto State Forest offers easy access to local waterways. "We went for a quick weekend trip with 3 people and 4 dogs. What a great spot! We were nice and secluded, which was great for the dogs to run around, be safe, and not bother other campers... it was relatively easy to find and the campsite is pretty close to Zoar Valley for a nice day trip!" notes Maddie C.
Fish stocked ponds: The multiple fishing areas at Allegany Mountain Members Resort provide opportunities for anglers. Kevin D. shares that "This place has larger sites and a nice size lake to fish in along with a few other small stocked ponds." While membership is typically required, they offer trial packages for prospective members.
Boat access: Some campgrounds feature boat launches for water recreation. Ian H. mentions that Arrowhead Campground is "right on the river with a private boat launch." This provides easy water access for campers bringing small watercraft.
What campers like
Halloween events: Fall camping near Springville includes seasonal festivities. Jennifer T. notes that Triple R Camping Resort hosts special events: "Had an awesome time for both Halloween weekends. Owners make you feel like family."
Peaceful water features: The tranquil setting at Three Valley Resort appeals to many campers. "Nice low key campground. The sites do seem a little packed.

What you should know
Cash-only policies: Some campgrounds have limited payment options. Ian H. warns about Arrowhead Campground: "NO CREDIT CARDS; cash or check only. It makes it a little clunky to get a reservation because you have to mail in a check."
Navigation challenges: GPS directions can be unreliable in rural areas. Courtney C. shares about East Otto State Forest: "I used the Dyrt provided GPS coordinates and was dropped into a residential area. Used the map on the parks website to get back on track and it was really simple."
Site drainage issues: Wet conditions can affect camping comfort. Lizzy K. mentions about East Otto: "This was a nice secluded feeling site, neighbors are pretty close by and you can hear them but a good amount of private space to yourself. Maybe non rainy season is better for this site, my boots became very muddy."
