Well maintained NY state campground; good for family camping
We were just passing through on a rainy night, but this park would be a good choice for a multi-night stay.
Activities for a Multi-Day Stay
-
Swimming in the lake, golfing, boating, fishing, multi-use trails for hiking or mountain biking
-
You're only about 20 minutes from the Binghamton/Johnson City area. For us, that means food and craft beer.
Sites in the Chipmunk Camping Area
-
Parking pads in the non-electric section are dirt/grass. Some of the pads are short; this section is geared toward tent campers. We found a site long enough to easily accommodate our vehicle and teardrop trailer (30 ft total) since we didn't want to detach for a one night stay. Even if the pad wasn't that long, there are other pads wide enough to handle a vehicle and trailer like ours side by side.
-
Parking pads in the electric loops (30 amps and 50 amps) have a good amount of gravel.
-
We usually prefer sites on the outer part of a loop, and this was no exception. The sites have more trees.
Amenities
-
Electricity at about 1/3 of the sites
-
Pretty good restrooms/showers
-
Water spigots on the loops and more water at the dump station
-
Trash disposal
-
Playground at the beach area, not the campground
Wildlife
-
Beware of raccoons. They are brazen thieves here...and every campground they inhabit. Just don't leave your food out.
-
The park brochure warns of the occasional bear but that's true even in towns all over NY. I doubt you'll see one.
-
Deer are all over. Watch out for them on the roads. We had four that were feeding behind our site in the morning.
