Nice stop

We needed a campground not too far off our route from Niagara Falls to NH and this was great. Very windy when we arrived. Our campsite 8 did not have a fire ring but others did. Right on water…can’t drive on path in front of the water sites so you are essentially on the water. Nice clean facilities.

Nice small

Nice small state park, our site had a water spigot right behind our site hook up hose and filled camper. Lake is dirty but the had a nice splash pad for the kids. Nice consession stand reasonably priced for a State campground. Our site was the furthest away from everything. Lots going on in the area.

Great weekend

We stayed through this weekend and had a great time and got to see some awesome sunsets. It was a little bit of a walk to get water but we were tent camping so we didn’t really mind. Our site had electric hook ups which we really didn’t need being in a tent but it was nice for charging our phones. Overall had a great time.

Steps from the beach

Great location. Wish it wasn’t so crowded but is definitely a great spot. We decided to stay here vs the casino campground to be on the water. Very buggy.

Close to home

Verona Beach State Park is nice and close to home. Also close to Utica and Rome. The kids love to hang out at the splash pad and the state recently revamped some of the playgrounds.

Verona Beach State Park Campground

Awesome campground. Clean bathhouses were nice. Wood was for sale by camp host at 50 cents a piece. Campground sits on the edge of Lake Oneida with a nice camper’s beach and trail on the lake front. We stayed at site 11. As you can see sites are spacious and this one was right on the lake’s edge.

Large beautiful sites.

There are no water or electric hookups but there are water spigots throughout the campground. There is a pavilion that is enclosed for everyone's use. There are nice clean bathrooms with showers. There is a public, life guarded beach. It is a wooded area on beautiful Oneida Lake. A great place to stay.

Open sites on the lake

We attempted to set up near the lake, but found the wind to be overwhelming. We ended up in the corner site by the woods. The bathrooms and showers were nice and the staff were very helpful.

Beautiful setting but no privacy

The campground is beautifully situated on the shores of Lake Oneida, very close to a swimming beach complete with lifeguards and a brand new snack bar. Unless you score a campsite in the row up against the water, forget privacy. The campsites are spacious but you're pretty much camping on the same lawn as your neighbors with very few trees in between you so you'll have to be okay with hearing others snoring at night within 15 feet of you. Most sites had 5th wheeler RVs parked on them and a few had tents. The facilities were very clean, the playground was a favorite of our toddler, and the neighborhoods just beyond the State Park were perfect for summer bike riding.
