Hike in to the lean-to!

This is a small county park and campground located east of Greene NY. It gets a lot if day use for fishing, hiking and picnicking. There is also a wooded campground, mostly RV’s and some tents. The sites are a bit crowded in, though the trees provide shade. For folks planning a group campout or family reunion, this would be a good option. For a solo camper who wants a bit if solitude, there is a better and super-nice option—the hike-in lean-to! Its a short hike in, and it is lively, well built shelter and nice fire pit. The small lake that is central to the park has nicely mowed shoreline paths around it, and the hiking trails in the woods are not brushy, but you still should be on the lookout for ticks. Price is reasonable compared to other area campgrounds, and you could access several other state forests and parks in the area for hiking etc note: though you can fish and paddle here, there is no swimming allowed!

Quiet, small campground

Clean shower house and grounds. Very quiet with primarily seasonal campers. Good clientele. Great rates.

It has a small lake that is great for fishing and kayaks but swimming is not allowed. Some sites may be a challenge for the largest of rigs. Has a small play area for kids. Firewood is reasonably priced ($5 at time of posting) and the amounts are larger than average. (About double the size of a store bought bundle)

It's close to a small town that has your essentials and a quick trip to a larger city (Binghamton) that has everything you need.

Was alright for a night

Stayed with our camper after a family birthday party. Very small camp ground but nice. There was no swimming in the pond allowed though. Beware, very tight sites amount the pines & very sloped

Functional seasonal campground

Went here to visit family who have a seasonal site. This campground us small, a single loop, and populated primarily with seasonal campers. Water and electric hookups are abundant. There's not much as far as frills, but it's a nice place to just kick back. Saw a bunch of people pulling fish out of the lake and had a great time with the kayaks. The highlight may be the wildlife, including a beaver family.
