Convenient Campground for the Area

If you're looking for a nice campground to see Watkins Glen or go to the racetrack, these are fantastic! Right up the hill from the Glen and a short walk or drive into the village with tiny restaurants and shopping. These are going to be pretty crowded in the summer and are not very secluded sites. Quiet hours are well enforced and campsite loops are regularly patrolled. Overall, a well maintained campground for seeing Watkins Glen for a weekend.

Nice Spot Right in the Middle of the Finger Lakes

Both times I've been to this campground, the sites have been clean and well maintained. There are a few small trails leading right from the sites, one of which goes to the blueberry patch, which is in fact covered in wild blueberry bushes and allows for some stellar stargazing at night. The campground is in the Finger Lakes National Forrest, close to Ithaca, Watkins Glen, Taughannock Falls, and the Finger Lakes Wine Trail. There is a $10.00 per night fee and a 8 persons cap on each campsite. Highly reccommend if you want your Finger Lakes experience without the hubbub of Watkins Glen and a little more secluded. I've seen this campground fill up fast on summer weekends. First come, first serve.
