Riverbend RV Park

139 RV Sites

Riverbend RV Park sits in Blossvale, New York, on the southwestern shore of Oneida Lake—the largest lake entirely within New York State—where the park's waterfront position, boat dock access, and proximity to Sylvan Beach provide the full complement of inland lake resort camping that central New York's largest body of water sustains for seasonal campers and destination visitors. The campground is the East property of a two-park Riverbend operation in the Blossvale area, offering spacious wooded lakeside sites that accommodate any size RV in a setting where the water and the social infrastructure of the Sylvan Beach strip are both within reach. Full hookup sites with 5-way hookup service—electric, water, sewer, cable, and telephone—serve seasonal and short-term campers in a well-maintained site layout. Wooded sites with water views, cabins for enclosed accommodation, a playground, laundry, showers, walking trails, and boat docks provide the foundational amenities. Planned activities through the season and bird and wildlife watching in the lake corridor fill the recreation calendar, and the campground's Oneida Lake frontage provides swimming, kayaking, canoeing, and boating access from the property's own dock infrastructure. Oneida Lake's fishery is one of the most actively managed in New York State—the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation stocks the lake annually with walleye, yellow perch, and bass, supporting a sportfishery that draws serious anglers from across the Mohawk Valley and central New York for the walleye population that has made the lake locally famous. The lake's 79 square miles of open water provide habitat for all of these species across a range of depth and structure conditions, and the early ice-out season each spring triggers the walleye activity that signals the opening of the central New York fishing season. Sylvan Beach, about two miles from the campground, provides the entertainment infrastructure that transforms a camping trip on Oneida Lake into a genuinely social destination: a small amusement park, the Lake House Casino at Sylvan Beach, the Crazy Clam, and the waterfront restaurants and ice cream shops that have made Sylvan Beach central New York's classic summer beach town since the late nineteenth century. The town's combination of carnival atmosphere, lake access, and walking-distance bars and restaurants gives it a nostalgic summer resort character that remains largely unchanged by the development that has transformed other Great Lakes tourism communities. Riverbend RV Park operates through the upstate New York camping season, typically May through October, in a lake climate where Oneida Lake's thermal mass moderates the temperature swings that inland central New York experiences and the long summer days provide maximum time on the water. The fall walleye season in September and October drives some of the most dedicated fishing traffic of the year, and the early spring ice-out period begins the season that seasonal campers return to establish for the summer. Rome and Utica are within easy reach for urban amenity access when needed, and the Erie Canal corridor to the south provides historical cycling and boating context for the broader Mohawk Valley region.

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.

HTR Adirondacks Campground

51 RV Sites, 18 Cabins, 20 Tent Sites, 1 Glamping Site

HTR Adirondacks Campground in Old Forge, New York, offers 51 RV sites, 18 cabins, 20 tent sites, and a glamping site at the gateway to the Adirondack Park's southwestern wilderness, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 50 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout, behind a gated entrance. Waterfront and waterview back-in categories join 50-amp and water-and-electric tiers, with a pool, beach, and tennis. Fifty-one sites span back-in 30-amp water-and-electric, back-in 50-amp, pull-thru 30-amp water-and-electric, waterfront back-in 30-amp, waterfront back-in 50-amp, and waterview categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted, sized to 50 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. The waterfront categories are worth requesting early; confirm your tier, as the water-and-electric options do not carry sewer. Eighteen cabins, 20 tent sites, and a glamping site round out the lodging. A laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, recycling, and on-site dining handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and beach anchor the summer, with boating, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and fishing on the water. Sports courts, tennis, pickleball, basketball, walking trails, and a playground fill the grounds, with strong birding and stargazing besides. The Fulton Chain of Lakes' eight interconnected waters make Old Forge one of the Adirondacks' most beloved four-season communities. Summer and fall foliage drive demand. Reserve well ahead.

Kittatinny K-Camp

58 RV Sites, 13 Cabins, 270 Tent Sites

Kittatinny K-Camp in Barryville, New York, offers 58 full-hookup RV sites, 13 cabins, and 270 tent sites on the Upper Delaware, with 20 and 30-amp service and rigs accepted to 30 feet. Creekside standard, deluxe, and standard back-in categories join a beach, pond, on-site dining, and a bar in the National Park Service river corridor. Fifty-eight back-in sites run in creekside standard, deluxe, and standard categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20 and 30-amp, sized to 30 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Two things to plan around before booking: the 30-foot cap is genuinely restrictive and rules out most modern coaches, and service tops out at 30-amp. The creekside category sits along a hemlock-shaded trout stream and is the one to request. Two hundred seventy tent sites make this overwhelmingly a tent property — a scale of tent camping almost no other campground matches. Thirteen cabins round out the lodging. A general store, dump station, restrooms, showers, and portable toilets handle the practical side. A daily resort fee covers the playground, bathhouses, and on-site boating amenities. A beach and pond anchor the recreation, with the Delaware carrying canoeing, kayaking, and swimming. Walking trails, hiking, a playground, pavilion, on-site dining, a bar, and productive birding fill the rest. Fourteen miles south of Narrowsburg, the property sits inside the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River corridor — 73 miles of one of the East's last free-flowing major rivers. Summer paddling season is the peak. Reserve well ahead.

Spacious Skies Woodland Hills

136 RV Sites, 18 Tent Sites, 1 Cottage, 3 Onsite RV/Trailers

Spacious Skies Woodland Hills in Austerlitz, New York, offers 139 RV sites, a cottage, and 18 tent sites in the upper Hudson Valley, with 20 and 30-amp service and rigs accepted up to 100 feet. A Cosmic Canine pull-through category for guests with dogs joins lakeview, full-hookup, and water-and-electric back-in tiers, with an outdoor pool, beach, and jumping pillow. One hundred thirty-nine sites span back-in, water-and-electric back-in, lakeview back-in, and Cosmic Canine pull-thru categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 100 feet. Confirm your tier before booking, as the water-and-electric categories do not carry sewer at the site, and check amp service with the campground for your rig — the category names and the resort record do not fully agree. One hundred feet is exceptional for the Northeast. A cottage, Riverside Retro trailers, and 18 tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and beach anchor the summer, with a lake and pond supporting boating, paddle boats, fishing, and swimming. A jumping pillow, gem mining, volleyball, basketball, corn hole, a playground, pavilion, community fire pit, and dog park fill the rest. Columbia County sits where the Berkshire Hills meet the Catskill foothills, with Tanglewood, Hancock Shaker Village, and the Hudson Valley's art corridor close. Summer and fall foliage drive demand. Reserve well ahead.

Confirm your tier, as the water-and-electric category does not carry sewer at the site. Cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, and a gated entrance handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and beach anchor the summer, with the lake supporting boating, fishing, and swimming. A recreation center, game room, playground, pavilion, and hiking fill the grounds, with planned activities through the season and mountains in every direction. Pets are welcome. The campground sits 200 feet from the Warren County Bikeway, which is a genuine advantage for anyone traveling with bicycles — the paved trail runs into the village and on toward Glens Falls. Lake George itself is 32 miles of glacier-carved water inside the Adirondack Park's six-million-acre preserve, with the village's 19th-century hotel and steamship heritage still visible. Summer is decisively the season at Lake George, with foliage drawing a strong September. Reserve well ahead for July and August.

Lake George Riverview Campground

114 RV Sites

Lake George Riverview Campground in New York offers 114 full-hookup RV sites on a Schroon River peninsula four miles north of Lake George Village, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 75 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout.

An outdoor pool and river beach anchor the summer, with canoeing, kayaking, boating, fishing, and swimming from the Schroon. A game room, arcade, sports courts, volleyball, bocce ball, horseshoes, a playground, pavilion, and picnicking fill the grounds. Pets are welcome. The peninsula setting is the property's defining feature. Lake George sits at the southern gateway of the Adirondacks, where glacially carved ridges and forested peaks frame what is arguably the most classically beautiful mountain lake landscape in the eastern United States, and the campground has water on three sides. Summer is decisively the season in the Adirondacks, with fall foliage drawing a strong second wave. Reserve well ahead for July and August, and for peak color in late September and early October.

from $67/night

Kittatinny River Beach Campground

Kittatinny River Beach Campground in Milford, Pennsylvania, offers full-hookup RV sites, cabins, and tent camping across 18 acres directly on the Delaware River, with wooded, open field, and riverfront configurations. Its parent operation, Kittatinny Canoes, runs the region's most extensive fleet of rafts, kayaks, canoes, and tubes. Full-hookup sites carry water, sewer, and electric in back-in and pull-through configurations with fire pits and picnic tables, alongside cabins and tent sites across more than 160 positions in wooded, field, and riverfront settings. A general store, dump station, restrooms, and firewood handle the practical side. Pets are welcome. The river operation is what sets this apart. Kittatinny Canoes offers self-guided rafts, kayaks, canoes, and tubes for trips of every length and difficulty on the Upper Delaware, which eliminates the outfitter logistics that usually complicate a river trip — you book the boat and the campsite together. A beach sits on the property, with swimming, boating, canoeing, kayaking, and birding from the water and a pond and playground on the grounds. The campground sits three miles from the borough of Milford at the northern tip of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, with mountains and river frontage on every side. Summer river season is decisively the peak — this is a water-recreation property first, and demand tracks the tubing and rafting calendar. Reserve well ahead for July and August weekends, when the Upper Delaware corridor fills.

Pine Hollow Campground

49 RV Sites, 3 Tent Sites

Pine Hollow Campground in Pownal, Vermont, offers 49 full-hookup RV sites and three tent sites in a small scenic valley at the southwestern corner of the state, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 45 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. A spring-fed stocked trout pond with paddleboat rentals and a beach anchors a genuinely traditional New England campground. Forty-nine sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp in back-in and pull-through configurations, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, cable TV, and site WiFi. Pull-through sites are limited, so request one if the largest motorhomes need drive-through access. Three tent sites cover simpler camping. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. The stocked trout pond is the centerpiece — spring-fed, with paddleboat and boat rentals, fishing, and a beach. A green meadow bordered by towering pines gives the campground its setting, with a playground, pavilion, horseshoes, shuffleboard, and picnicking filling the grounds. This is a campground rather than a destination resort, and in a region where the best sites have largely been commercialized, that character is much of the appeal. Pets are welcome. Pownal sits in Bennington County where the Berkshires extend north into Vermont's wooded hollows, less than 10 miles from both Bennington, Vermont and Williamstown, Massachusetts. Directions from the north: from the junction of Route 7 and Route 9 in Bennington, take Route 7 south 6.4 miles, left onto Barbers Pond Road 1.5 miles, right onto Old Military Road half a mile, then follow the Pine Hollow signs. Fall foliage is the peak — reserve well ahead.

Boat docks give direct access to Little Sodus Bay and out to Lake Ontario, with boating, fishing, and swimming from the property and a beach on site. On-site dining and live music create a waterfront resort atmosphere rooted in the boating and lakeside social culture that Fair Haven has sustained since the nineteenth century. Biking runs from the area, with a state park, golf course, wine tasting, and skiing all nearby. Fair Haven sits in Cayuga County, where the natural harbor that has sheltered Great Lakes boaters for generations meets one of the Finger Lakes region's most naturally beautiful freshwater coastal communities. The boating season is short and concentrated on Lake Ontario. Summer is decisively the peak — reserve well ahead for July and August.

Bedford Creek Campground

2 RV Sites

On the eastern basin of Lake Ontario in Sackets Harbor, New York—in Jefferson County where the lake's broad freshwater expanse, the historic War of 1812 battlefield village, and the St. Lawrence River's Thousand Islands corridor create the maritime and historical landscape of the eastern Great Lakes—Bedford Creek Campground and Marina provides 204 RV sites with full hookup and water and electric options on 57 acres, a sheltered marina with more than 50 boat slips, a gas dock and boat motor repair, a private sandy beach, boat rentals, a boat launch, a camp store, a pizza and sandwich shop, mini-golf, horseshoes, cabins accommodating up to 8 people, and WiFi, in a combined campground-and-marina operation whose Lake Ontario position, protected marina, and sandy beach create the complete freshwater lakeside destination that the Jefferson County Great Lakes community has built its summer recreation around since the shores of the eastern basin became accessible by road. The marina has 50 slips. The beach is sandy. The lake is Lake Ontario. The 204-site campground's full hookup positions and water-and-electric sites accommodate the range from the seasonal resident whose slip and site are adjacent to the through-traveler whose Lake Ontario circuit includes a Sackets Harbor overnight. Two dump stations serve the campground's RV population across the 57-acre property. The sheltered marina's 50-plus slips provide the protected berth that Lake Ontario's weather patterns demand—the eastern basin's exposure to the prevailing westerlies makes the sheltered harbor's protection genuinely functional rather than simply convenient. The gas dock, boat motor repair, and boat rentals cover the marina service and rental needs for the guest arriving without a vessel. The private sandy beach provides the Lake Ontario swimming access, and the pizza and sandwich shop, camp store, mini-golf, and horseshoes create the on-property food and recreation that the family campground's daytime activity requires between marina excursions. Sackets Harbor sits in Jefferson County at the eastern end of Lake Ontario's south shore, in the historic village where the Battle of Sackets Harbor in May 1813 repelled a British amphibious assault on the American naval shipbuilding facility—the Sackets Harbor Battlefield State Historic Site preserves the earthworks, the picketed Navy Yard, and the 1817 Union Hotel in the compact waterfront village that the Jefferson County Battlefield Commission has maintained since the 1930s. The village's 19th-century architecture, waterfront dining, and the lakefront park created the character that makes Sackets Harbor one of the most complete small lakefront communities on the American side of the eastern Great Lakes. The Thousand Islands region, 25 miles northeast via NY-12E along the St. Lawrence River, provides the 1,864-island archipelago between the United States and Canada that the St. Lawrence Seaway's international waterway bisects—the river cruises from Clayton and Alexandria Bay, the Boldt Castle's Rhineland castle on Heart Island, and the Thousand Islands Bridge's international crossing create the most distinctive freshwater island landscape in the eastern United States. Watertown, 15 miles south on I-81, provides the Jefferson County regional service infrastructure and the access to Fort Drum's military community that drives the campground's extended-stay demand. Bedford Creek Campground operates seasonally through the Lake Ontario summer and early fall, with the Memorial Day through Labor Day window covering the primary boating and beach season and the September bass and walleye fishing peak on Lake Ontario extending the productive season through the fall. Reserve your site, slip, or cabin at Bedford Creek and let the Lake Ontario marina, the private sandy beach, and the Sackets Harbor battlefield village deliver the eastern Great Lakes freshwater experience that Jefferson County's historic harbor provides.
