Near the southern shore of Lake Seneca, Pooh's Corner provides a small-scale camping option just minutes from Watkins Glen. The campground features private fire pits at each site, with some locations offering hammocks upon request. Hosts Sheryl and Matt maintain clean facilities including restrooms and sell firewood on-site.
Drive-in and walk-in sites accommodate both RVs and tents, with vehicle access directly to most camping areas. Lake Seneca offers swimming opportunities, while the campground sits four minutes from downtown Watkins Glen and under ten minutes from Watkins Glen State Park Campground. The pet-friendly facility allows both dogs and cats, with alcohol permitted at sites.
Description
Here's to a new year and safe travels. We hope you enjoy Pooh's Corner as much as we enjoy having all of you great Happy Campers sharing our beautiful Fingerlakes area with us.
PLEASE NOTE: Our sites are custom made for tent or car camping. RVs and any trailer campers are very difficult to place only because there are no easy ways to back in or turn around. We highly recommend "Havana Glen State Park" (same general area) for those types of camping units. We can accommodate large vans or "Transit" Vans on 2 sites if available (please let us know in advance).
Pooh's Corner lies in a rural area just 1.5 miles from Watkins Glen. We took great care to make sure each campsite is as private as possible by spreading 8 campsites among about 5 acres. Nice walking trails which are lined with lighting and easily navigable. Drive to/park at your site*. There are State Parks and places to hike one of the many gorges in and around beautiful Seneca Lake. Take a tour of the many wineries and breweries which our region is famous for (there is a winery with a Frisbee Golf course right across the road). Enjoy hiking, swimming, biking, kayaking, fishing, and many historical sites to see.
*We are happy to announce availability of hot and cold water at the visitor shed.
