Small, Quaint near Waterfalls

I've been here several times to hike to the waterfall or for parties. It's quite small with about 15-20 sites, but they aren't right on top of each other either. Great place for young families sure to the playground, short hike to the falls, bathrooms, pavilions, and very close to Seneca Lake and the Finger Lakes Trail and the Catherine Valley Trail.

Cute small place for shorter camp trips and day trips.

nice picnicing area with an older playground, but also baseball field and gaga ball area. If youre up for the small hike up to the waterfall there is a nice little swim area to enjoy. Small and quiet but popular local swim area for hot days.

Eagle Cliff waterfall

Short trail with lots of steps to a lovely waterfall in a typical Finger Lakes kind of gorge. Camp sites wooded and short walk from good views. Tiny park so you likely need to fill your time elsewhere. Good place to go if the other campsites near Watkins Glen are filled.
