Spacious sites: Larger-than-average sites provide comfortable camping.

What you should know
Seasonal considerations: Most campgrounds operate from mid-April through October. "We stayed in August and we really enjoyed the setup and location of all the amenities this campground has," mentions Rich L. about Southwoods RV Resort, which operates from May 1 to October 31.
WiFi reliability: Internet access varies considerably between parks. "Excellent Wi-Fi," reports Kathleen R. about Finger Lakes RV Resort, while another visitor confirmed the "WiFi was strong enough to do work calls." This contrasts with other locations where connectivity may be limited.
Site layout variations: Some parks cater primarily to seasonal campers with limited transient spots. At Red Rock Ponds RV Resort, Dan observed it "appears more for permanent campers" with a "nice, smaller campground with adequate sites." Visitors should check availability for short-term stays in advance.
Tips for camping with families
Pool access planning: Swimming pools typically open Memorial Day through Labor Day with varied hours. "The pool is nice and staff friendly," notes Amy T. about Red's Twilight on the Erie Resort, which features a pool area positioned "far enough from the campsites but close to the store and watchful eye of the staff."

Tips from RVers
Site selection strategy: Request specifics about site dimensions and characteristics. "We chose a back-in 50-amp full hook-up site (M28) at $42/night. All the utilities were placed appropriately so we didn't need any extensions," explains Nancy W. about Southwoods RV Resort, noting that "all campsite pads are gravel except for three long pull-thrus that are paved."
Seasonal considerations: Booking well in advance for summer weekends is essential. "We booked early, which was a good thing because they were 100% full for Indigenous People's Day," advises Steve A. about Finger Lakes RV Resort. Weekday stays typically offer more availability and quieter conditions.
Utility connections: Most parks offer various hookup options to accommodate different RV needs. "The water pressure and electric were good," reports Nancy W., while another camper noted, "We're using 30amps, but they also have 20 and 50amp service to each site." Bringing adapters ensures compatibility with available connections.
