    Most RV campgrounds near Sterling, New York cluster along Lake Ontario shorelines or inland waterways, offering options from large full-hookup resorts to smaller year-round parks. Brennan Beach Campground provides 1300+ sites with full hookups, open from May 1 to October 15, while Lake Bluff RV Park offers electric, water, and sewer connections with sites that accommodate larger rigs. Ontario Shores RV Park features seven pull-through full hookup sites with concrete patios for overnight stays. South Shore RV Park remains open year-round with 50-amp service and sewer hookups, though many sites require careful leveling. "We ended up with a 5-inch difference over 8 feet side to side. To find a spot I could level, I had to park center of site, leaving an 8-foot space open on the hookup side."

    Advanced reservations prove essential during summer months, particularly for lakefront sites at popular destinations like Brennan Beach. Dump stations are available at most parks, though South Shore lacks this amenity. Pet policies vary—most parks welcome dogs but restrict them from beach areas. Propane fill service is generally unavailable on-site, requiring trips to nearby towns. Based on reviews from The Dyrt, seasonal flooding has affected some shoreline amenities, with one camper noting that "the lake level flooding a few years ago ruined the sandy beach" at Ontario Shores. Big rig access routes remain well-maintained throughout the region, though sites with level concrete pads are limited primarily to premium sections at larger resorts.

      Yogi Bears Jellystone Park Camp Resort at Mexico

      Run down, arrogant and disrespectful ownership, severe safety concerns

      I would never return to this campground. We rented a golf cart, and while going downhill, the rear wheel came completely off because the lug nuts were not secured. My 1-year-old and 6-year-old were on the cart, and we were extremely fortunate that no one was injured. When I expressed how serious and upsetting this was and how close my children were to being injured the owner’s response was,“But were they?” When I explained that my children were thankfully not injured but were shaken up by the incident, he sarcastically questioned whether my 1-year-old could be traumatized. They did provide us with another golf cart afterward, but I consider that the bare minimum after being given an unsafe rental. After the apparent lack of proper inspection of the cart and the ill-mannered response to such a serious safety issue, I would never recommend this campground.

      Oneida Shores County Park

      Beautiful and peaceful

      We had a great stay at Oneida Shores Campground. Over the weekend it was nearly full, but it never felt crowded. The other campers were friendly and there were no issues. At 10 pm, it got very quiet, no issues. The newly paved sites are level. The grounds are well kept. I wouldn't say the sites were too close together. We had plenty of room. The tent area is shaded by trees, the rv section is not. We encountered several park employees, all were very friendly and helpful. Never saw any geese. The only negative is that the showers and restrooms need a deep clean and upgrade, but they were serviceable.

      Sunset Harbor RV and Cabins

      Not a resort but a great low cost campground with fantastic views.

      We found this little gem when planning our trip. It is owned & operated by a Patrick who works very hard to keep it in great condition. There are at least twenty RV sites with thirty amp & some with fifty amp power all with full hookups. He also has several vacation rental cabins on the site, some of which he has built. All this is located right on the shores of lake Ontario about six miles from Oswego NY. Great lake views. An inground in pool, restrooms and showers all kept clean & in great condition. On-site firewood at a good price. Very short walk to a restaurant offering seafood sandwiches/ platters as well as burgers etc with lots of lakeside seating. Also a fantastic Ice-cream shop with dozens of flavors within 2 minutes walk. Well worth staying. We will return.

      Shady Shores Campground

      The views are spectacular

      Its 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.

      Selkirk Shores State Park Campground

      Beautiful View

      We thought the campground was beautiful, tight to your neighbors on majority of sites, and lack of trash cans for pet waste especially since the campground is so big. It has ball field, 2 playgrounds, rec room, camp store, lake Ontario to swim, trails for multi use, and pavillions. Down fall for us was small site , lack of trash cans to toss pet waste, not being told about fill station because there is no water faucets like most state parks along campground. We were there for first time so not familiar with park. Office did not offer us a map to get to our site or clue us in on filling our tank prior to parking camper. Main gate personnel not on same information. bathrooms could be cleaned more often. bathhouse building is all gender with bathrooms on one side of building and showers on other. Bathroom and showers are private space rooms. Beach is very rocky with little sand area. Life guards only guard one side of beach making everyone crowded to one side

    Guide to Sterling

    Several RV parks near Sterling provide full-hookup access to Lake Ontario and surrounding waterways. Brennan Beach Campground accommodates large motorhomes with big-rig friendly sites and offers electric, water, and sewer connections during their May to October season. Lake Bluff RV Park features 50-amp electric service across its spacious wooded sites, while Ontario Shores RV Park provides concrete pads with full hookups for overnight travelers. South Shore RV Park offers year-round access with water and sewer hookups on level sites. "Our site was 5 inches off over 8 feet side to side, leaving me to park center of site with hookups far to one side," noted one Lake Bluff visitor.

    Advance reservations are essential during summer months when lakefront RV sites fill quickly. Most parks in the region maintain clean dump stations and offer trash service, though amenities vary significantly between properties. The proximity to Lake Ontario creates occasional water advisories that affect campground utilities. Pull-through sites are limited at smaller parks like Port Bay Camping and RV Park, which offers just 40 sites with water and electric hookups. Many RV parks permit pets but enforce leash rules in common areas. Based on reviews from The Dyrt, seasonal campers occupy many premium sites, particularly those with lake views, so transient RV travelers should book well ahead for weekend stays.
