Seneca Shadows

We came here on a weekday with hardly anyone staying near us and rose around sunrise to catch the light over the rocks. it was such an easy and short distance to get there. 

Stellar Quiet Stay

very clean, quiet, and spacious.  The campground offers incredible views of nearby Seneca Rocks.  While the crags are a short drive away for the lazy climbers, it's also possible to lengthen the approach and warm up the legs with a quick jaunt.  Best place to stay in the area.
