Lakeside Campground

28 RV Sites

Lakeside Campground in Windsor, New York, offers 23 full-hookup RV sites on a lake in the Southern Tier, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Small back-in, standard back-in, and pull-through categories join a beach, boat docks, and kayak rentals. Twenty-three sites run in small 30-amp back-in, 30/50-amp back-in, and 30/50-amp pull-through categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and site WiFi. The small back-in category is a useful option for compact trailers that would otherwise pay for space they do not need. Trailer rentals serve guests without a rig. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. The lake carries the recreation. A beach gives swimming access, boat docks and kayak rentals put guests on the water, and fishing, boating, canoeing, kayaking, and paddle boats all run from the shoreline. An outdoor pool, recreation center, game room, billiards, basketball, a playground, and a pavilion fill the grounds, with planned activities through the season. Pets are welcome. Windsor sits in Broome County in the upper Susquehanna valley along the Pennsylvania border, where the rolling hills and clear glacial lakes of the Catskill foothills provide the backdrop. The campground draws families from the Binghamton area and weekend visitors from the New York metro corridor. Directions from I-86/Route 17: take exit 79 (Windsor) and proceed south onto Route 79 — contrary to many GPS directions, do not turn right onto Piper Hill Road after leaving town.

Bedford Creek Campground

2 RV Sites

Bedford Creek Campground in Sackets Harbor, NY, offers 2 full-hookup RV sites with 30-amp service and room for rigs up to 45 feet. Sites come as a back-in and a pull-thru, each carrying water, sewer, and electric with a picnic table. Note the electrical: this is a 30-amp campground, so a rig wired for heavier service will need an adapter and some load management. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, a dump station, a pavilion, a barn, and boat storage cover the essentials, with cabins available for guests without a rig. Pets are welcome, and there's a playground. The marina is the draw: boat rentals, a beach, and lake and creek access for boating, with volleyball and basketball on the grounds. Sackets Harbor sits on the eastern basin of Lake Ontario in Jefferson County — a War of 1812 battlefield village at the doorstep of the Thousand Islands, with fishing charters, boat tours, rafting, and Westcott Beach State Park close by. Rates for sites and cabins are on the booking page. Two RV sites on Lake Ontario means booking as far ahead as the campground will take a reservation.

The Thousand Islands region is 45 minutes away, and the Black River valley carries additional outdoor recreation.

A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side.
