While most people consider New York City to be the main attraction of the state, further upstate lies Chenango Valley State Park; a much calmer 1,137 acre natural wonder of New York. This park is known for its two kettle lakes, named Chenango and Lily. The lakes, which were created after the last Ice Age, formed when large chunks of ice that were left behind by a glacier ended up buried deep beneath the earth. Over time, that ice melted, forming the bogs and wetlands known today as Chenango and Lily.
The park’s rich ecosystem attracts both migrant as well as predatory birds and other watchable wildlife. Subsequently, birdwatchers will delight finding and spotting the woodpeckers, nuthatches, warblers and thrushes found along woodland trails. You will also find herons, ducks, and kingfishers over on the lakeside.
Those searching for something closer to the lakes will enjoy an abundance of excellent fishing opportunities. Fishermen can attempt to catch trout, bass, perch, and bullhead in Chenango Lake, as well as the various wetlands and marshes throughout. Lily Lake is not known for its fishing opportunities, but makes a the perfect place for a relaxing day at the beach. After you’ve soaked up some rays, enjoy a relaxing game of gold over at the 18-hole Chenango Valley State Park Golf Course. There’s never a shortage of activities, nor scenic beauty to take in during your stay here. And luckily, if you can’t fit it all into one day the park offers fantastic overnight accommodations as well.
When camping here, take comfort knowing there’s plenty of room for everyone. In fact, campers can choose from among 184 campsites, or 24 warm and cozy cabins. The park offers shower buildings routinely placed throughout, as well as an amply-stocked convenience store with camper information inside.
Fortunately, there is a variety of campsite sizes and amenities to choose from. However, if you’re planning on camping with an RV, consider reserving your site at least a few months in advance as space can fill up very quickly, especially during the summer.

TravelerKeen lake is the most cleanest friendliest family environment campsite you will ever find. Beautiful lake great fishing. Activities all day long for the children. Great general store that has everything in it that is open from sun up to sundown. The nachos and ice cream are the best. Super friendly staff. It's big they have tent sites right along the lake the lake is huge there's so much I could say but I would run out of room. I started coming here when I was four and I am now 46 years old and it is just the best place ever. It will always have a special place in our heart. Look forward every year to coming here no matter what age my kids are they all have a blast. From tent sites to RVs to cottages to glamping you name it they have it highly recommend it. Recently went camping to somewhere a little bit closer to home and it's nothing compared to here. It's like comparing Macy's to Walmart. You will never regret coming here. So pack your family up and have a great time.

My experience here was most enjoyable. I stayed in a yurt for the first time and it was also my first time camping since my teenage years. The yurt was most comfortable and the park is beautiful in the spring. Went hiking and was sure to bring my camera along. Got some beautiful shots too. Would highly recommend visiting and/or camping here!
Scout
To our surprise we found this beautiful yurt in the Catskills with views to envy any nature enthusiast. It was beginning of fall in October and the dark nights were filled with gazing shooting stars. A wood oven stove to keep us cozy our entire stay. Great for those seeking quiet and zen like space. The fire pit was a plus to the view. Our first time in a yurt but not the last. This was a birthday trip so we enjoyed every minute of this space. The host was great! Always full of conversation and tips about the area. We still keep in touch.
TravelerCampground has cabins and yurts, pull in sites for RV’s and strictly walk in tent sites. There is a beautiful lake and a very large pool. We went in early spring midweek, it was very quiet and exactly the get away we wanted.
LegendThis is an amazing state park that has something for everyone. There is an environmental education center with programs, there is fishing and boating, and an amazing network if hiking and horse riding trails. There are several campgrounds, with tremendous variety for every camping style. There are standard car camping tent sites, RV sites, and yurts and camper cabins. For those who like more rustic options, there are hike-in sites that are beautiful and not far from the parking area. The campsites are nestled in a deep shady mature forest, and peaceful and quiet due to the wooded aspect and spacing of sites (at least for me, in September in a hike-in site not far from the regular campground). It is nice to have such a fine camping and outdoor recreation opportunity within an easy drive of the city of Clarks Summit, so probably a great weekend getaway for local folks, but a wonderful stopover for anyone on a road trip through northern PA as it is not far off Interstate 81. I was there only one day, but would like to be back to explore the trails!
ScoutOne of the best places I've stayed all year. Great spots to setup your own tent as well as cabins and trailers. My daughter and I highly recommend this campground to anyone who loves the forest and the peace and tranquility that comes along with it
ScoutThe owners are very nice and helpful. Very clean sites and bathrooms. Quiet and peaceful at night and the other campers were very friendly. There is not one negative thing I can say. Would definitely visit again.

Exactly what we expected. KOAs are known for being clean and this was no exception. The bathrooms and showers, every time we went in , were spotless. The staff was incredible. So friendly And helpful. The sites are great. Activities for the kids like movies (it was Moana), a pool, mini golf and a bounce area. We had a fantastic first camping experience for the kids (and dogs). I have been camping across the country so I know what to look for. I would highly recommend this campground.
GuideThe KOA campgrounds are always extremely well maintained with all the amenities we want. Love the KOA patio sites, worth the few extra dollars. Quiet and peaceful mid week.
ScoutEnjoyed walking the trails and wooded area but sprained my right ankle. So I was laid up for a few hours before I left.
TravelerI was disappointed with the location they put us as tent campers. We paid for water and electric. The electrical outlet and water was half way across the "circle lot" they put us and we had to share it with other campers. Luckily, we made friends with them and were understanding as they were just as frustrated. The bathroom and showers were up the hill and accommodating for all the RV/cabin people but not for us in the "bottom of the hill". This place stated there was a fishing pond but it was a sad consideration for a pond. There were planned activities but the weekend we went here, it was a checkers tournament for hours. There was nothing else open (bounce pad, Tube slide [amazingly fun!]) or planned for that time frame. 2 Stars because it didn't meet my minimal expectations but it was better than no water or bath houses.
ScoutWell kept and peaceful. They have some entertainment, but nothing rowdy. Very nice people that are working hard on bringing it back to its former splendor
Scout
Great themed weekends all season long. Tent, RV, and cabin sites available. Went first time in cabin rental. Nice room, amenities, and fire ring. Small but nice little getaway.
ScoutI been to Oneida campground many weekends with groups of friends as well as by myself as a day visitor. It is a great place to unwind and enjoy yourself…as yourself. This place makes everyone feel welcome including gay, straight, bi-sexual, transsexual or however to choose to be and despite what you might think, the atmosphere makes the clothing optional part comfortable whether you choose to be natural or clothed.
Oneida is CAMP-ground, not the Ritz but offers rustic camping options as well as lodge (resort) accommodations. There are several group options to stay in either tent sites or cabin/lodge sites that are equipped with their own kitchen and shower facilities. Private remote sites are also available if you prefer to be off on your own in nature.
Everyone is invited to participate in the theme weekends and they are a lot of fun. The parties are amazing…and they’re free! There’s something for everyone to check out during the season and the best part is not having to worry about going home cause your already there.
The staff is low key and blend in while working behind the scenes to make your stay a safe and great time. When we first got their we had trouble finding our spot and they came out and gave us an escort to our site. Then we locked our keys the the car and they were right there to get us back in. Now it was dark and they even offered to help us set our tent up. Of course we forgot to bring some of the cooking items and they hooked us up with charcoal, lighters and lighter fluid at the camp store and they even brought us some of their own cooing utensils to borrow.
Despite our rough start, we had an amazing time, made many friends and felt very comfortable and welcome and I can’t wait for this season to start to go back again!
GuideLong time camper at oneida (usually during Miss Colombia weekend), this is an older and more established campground. This year, it changed owner and you can already see the improvements happening.
The one thing I did not like was seeing the new owner yelling at one of this employees. That wasn't cool at all.
Also, It is not very RV friendly as it can be challenging parking and setting up an RV at Oneida.
Being that I am now an RV owner, it it a bit challenging to navigate the campground.
TravelerOur site was massive (39) and and direct access to Russell Brook. Couldn’t keep my son out of the water. Very peaceful. Felt like we had the place to ourselves. Very clean. Definitely will be going back.
ScoutHave stayed at RB multiple times over the years since Charlie ran the place. It's an awesome visit to the woods. As close to nature as possible with modern conveniences still nearby. Terri and her gang do a great job of running her Dad's adventure.
Scout
Friendly staff, beautifully kept.
TravelerFor a two night trip, I was really impressed with how relaxing it was - and we had enough to do to make it active. You can kayak and swim in the lake, and see incredible stars at night. Would recommend bringing your bikes. Great that the campground is just far enough from the lake/park, which makes it a bit more private. Covid note: you cannot rent boats at this time, but you can still buy firewood, ice, etc.
RangerNice park with area loops that all have a central bath house. Cute cabins sprinkled all around the park. Lake with a nice beach and swimming area. Carry in boating. Great for tents or self contained RV.
GuideIt seems like a nice local campsite even though it is a state park. Very nice location and relaxing.
TravelerOquaga is a great campground if you want to get off-the-grid for a little while. There are plenty of well-marked trails to hike. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked. The staff were very friendly.
ScoutNice camping spots, wonderful beach for day trips and beautiful walkkng trails!
ScoutMemorial Day weekend, camground was full but never felt crowded. Sites are large with a good buffer, fire ring & grill. Good mix of tent & trailer. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Great little lake for swimming & fishing. Weather was miserable so proximity to Cooperstown was a plus. No cell service or wifi which didnt bother me but could some. A great place for a long weekend getaway.
