Fair Point Marina

1 Cottage

Fair Point Marina in Fair Haven, New York, offers cottage accommodations and full-hookup sites at a working marina on Little Sodus Bay, with boat docks, boat storage, a beach, on-site dining, and live music. The natural harbor opens onto Lake Ontario's southern shore in one of the region's most protected anchorages. Cottage lodging and full-hookup sites serve guests, with laundry, a dump station, restrooms, showers, and a general store handling the practical side. WiFi reaches the property, and a clubhouse rounds out the facilities. Boat storage is available — genuinely useful at a property where most guests arrive with a boat or intend to spend their days on one. Pets are welcome. The marina is the identity here. 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.

Red's Twilight on the Erie RV Resort

61 RV Sites, 4 Cabins, 2 Tent Sites

Red's Twilight on the Erie RV Resort in Macedon, New York, offers 61 full-hookup RV sites, four cabins, and two tent sites along the historic Erie Canal, with 30 and 50-amp service behind a gated entrance. Back-in, pull-through, and pull-through buddy sites carry water, sewer, and electric, with an outdoor pool, kayak rentals, and direct Erie Canal Trail access. Sixty-one sites run in back-in, pull-through, and pull-through buddy configurations — the buddy sites suiting parties traveling together — all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, with fire pits and picnic tables. Four cabins and two tent sites round out the accommodations. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side, and a gated entrance controls access. The canal is the recreation. The Erie Canal Trail runs directly from the resort for cycling and walking, kayak rentals put guests on the water, and a lake and pond on the property support fishing and boating. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with an arcade, playground, pavilion, and corn hole filling the grounds. Wine and beer tasting is nearby in the Finger Lakes. Pets are welcome. Macedon sits in Wayne County on the Erie Canal's western section. The 363-mile canal, built between 1817 and 1825, connected the Great Lakes to the Atlantic and opened the continental interior to trade — the most ambitious engineering project of early America. The corridor now carries one of the most comprehensive canal-trail cycling networks in the Northeast, with Rochester and the Finger Lakes wine region both close. The resort runs the upstate New York season. Summer cycling and canal traffic drive demand — reserve ahead for July and August weekends.

O'Reilly Lake Resort

9 RV Sites, 5 Cabins, 17 Tent Sites, 3 Cottages

At 1091 O'Reilly Lake Lane in Mountain Grove, Ontario—in the Township of Central Frontenac where the Canadian Shield's ancient granite and the spring-fed lakes of the Frontenac Axis create the cottage-country landscape that the rural communities between Kingston and Haliburton have built their outdoor recreation identity around—O'Reilly Lake Resort, a Summerhill Resorts property, offers 3,500 feet of beautiful waterfront on O'Reilly Lake, a small spring-fed lake teeming with fish and featuring a small private forested island, alongside paddleboards, kayaks, pedal boats, canoes, life jackets, and hydro-bikes for cycling across the lake, an inflatable water playground, a jumping pillow, a playground, and a camp store stocked with ice, firewood, snacks, and small groceries in a pet-friendly resort whose spring-fed lake character—the clarity, the fish population, and the private island visible from the waterfront—creates the complete Canadian Shield lake experience in the Frontenac Axis's most secluded cottage-country terrain. The lake is spring-fed. There's a private island. The water toys are included. Three thousand five hundred feet of waterfront on O'Reilly Lake—the spring-fed, fish-rich lake whose clarity and forested margins create the aesthetic that the Frontenac Axis's granite-and-lake landscape produces at its best—provide the natural centerpiece for the resort's water recreation. Paddleboards, kayaks, pedal boats, canoes, and life jackets are available for guest use, and the hydro-bikes—the pedal-powered watercraft that cyclists operate across the lake's surface—provide the distinctive water recreation alternative that distinguishes O'Reilly Lake from the standard paddle-only cottage-country resort. The inflatable water playground and jumping pillow create the energetic water recreation for the younger guests whose enthusiasm for the lake needs a structured outlet beyond the canoe. A camp store with ice, firewood, snacks, and small groceries handles the daily provisioning without requiring the drive to Mountain Grove's limited commercial infrastructure. Mountain Grove sits in the Township of Central Frontenac in Frontenac County, in the rural Shield community on County Road 38 between Sharbot Lake and Arden in the granite outcrop and mixed-forest landscape that the Frontenac Arch's geological connection between the Adirondacks and the Laurentian Shield creates across southeastern Ontario. The Frontenac Arch Biosphere Reserve—a UNESCO-designated biosphere encompassing the Thousand Islands and the Frontenac region—protects the wildlife corridor that the granite ridges, spring-fed lakes, and forested wetlands of Central Frontenac sustain for wolves, black bears, moose, and the Great Lakes–St. Lawrence forest community's full species composition. Frontenac Provincial Park, 30 miles south near Sydenham, provides 6,000 hectares of the most remote backcountry canoeing and camping in southeastern Ontario—the park's 50-plus interior lakes connected by portage routes create the classic Canadian Shield paddle experience that the provincial park system protects without road access to the backcountry campsite positions. Kingston, 60 miles south on Highway 38 and Highway 401, provides the regional urban infrastructure, the Royal Military College, Queen's University, and the Fort Henry National Historic Site's living history interpretation of the 1812-era limestone fortification that overlooks the St. Lawrence. O'Reilly Lake Resort operates seasonally through the Ontario summer and early fall, with the Victoria Day weekend in late May through the Thanksgiving weekend in October covering the primary open period and the summer months from late June through Labour Day delivering the warmest lake conditions for swimming and the water playground. The late summer bass and walleye fishing on O'Reilly Lake, the spring bass opener in late May, and the loon observation that the spring-fed lake's clear water and forested margins support create the fishing and natural history activity across the season. Reserve your lakefront site at O'Reilly Lake Resort and let the spring-fed lake, the hydro-bikes, the private island view, and the Frontenac Shield's ancient granite landscape deliver the cottage-country Ontario experience that the Summerhill network's most secluded property provides.

Bass Lake Resort

14 RV Sites

Bass Lake Resort in Parish, New York, provides a family-oriented lakefront camping resort on a private lake in Oswego County's Great Lakes agricultural fringe, offering a complete resort recreation package of mini-golf, pool, boat docks, ball field, shuffleboard, and planned activities in a central New York lake setting approximately 10 miles inland from Lake Ontario's southern shore. The resort's private lake—insulated from motorized boat traffic and the wave action that Ontario shoreline camping produces—provides the calm-water swimming, kayaking, and small-boat recreation environment that families with young children and first-time lake campers find most comfortable and enjoyable in a campground that feels genuinely resort-like despite its upstate New York small-town surroundings. The resort's facilities cover the full family camping recreation spectrum: full hookup sites, an outdoor pool, mini-golf, a ball field, boat docks for guest watercraft, boating and canoeing and kayaking on the private lake, basketball, volleyball, horseshoes, shuffleboard, a playground, pavilion, dog park, clubhouse, laundry, showers, bathrooms, dump station, and Wi-Fi create organized recreation capacity across diverse activity preferences. The private lake's protected swimming environment and the shore fishing for bass, crappie, and panfish that a stocked inland lake reliably produces round out the water recreation options for the resort's core family demographic. Planned activities and supervised events for children make the resort's social calendar active through the summer season. Parish sits in Oswego County's transition between the Tug Hill Plateau's northern escarpment and the Lake Ontario plain, a quiet agricultural community in the interior of one of New York's most scenically understated regions where apple orchards, dairy farms, and the waterfall-laced streams descending from the Tug Hill create a rural landscape character entirely different from the Adirondacks' tourist infrastructure 60 miles to the east. The surrounding Oswego County terrain's trout streams, the Great Lake salmon fishing in Salmon River—one of the most prolific fall salmon rivers on the Great Lakes—and the Lake Ontario charter fishing operations based in Pulaski collectively provide adult outdoor recreation of national significance within an hour's drive of the resort. Selkirk Shores State Park on Lake Ontario's shoreline approximately 20 miles west provides access to the Great Lake's dramatic shoreline bluff environment and the steelhead and brown trout surf fishing that Lake Ontario's tributary streams support in spring and fall. The Salmon River Reservoir north of Pulaski and the Tug Hill Plateau's vast state forest lands create backcountry hiking and wildlife watching opportunities in the ruffed grouse, wild turkey, and black bear habitat that the plateau's remote beech-maple forest preserves in an area of New York that receives less tourist attention than the Adirondack and Finger Lakes corridors but delivers genuine Upstate wilderness character. Bass Lake Resort operates seasonally from spring through fall in Oswego County's four-season Great Lakes climate, where the Lake Ontario snow belt's heavy winter snowpack eventually yields to the genuine summer warmth that fills the pool and private lake with swimmers from late June through Labor Day. The Tug Hill's snow shadow creates microclimatic conditions that can extend the Oswego County spring into late June and return fall colors by late September, and the resort's private lake environment provides the family camping experience that appeals to repeat seasonal campers who prefer the intimate small-lake atmosphere over the more complex and crowded shoreline campgrounds that Lake Ontario's recreational fishing communities attract.

Country Charm Campground

9 RV Sites, 2 Cabins, 3 Tent Sites

Situated in the rural township of Potter in Ontario County, New York, between the shores of Canandaigua Lake and Keuka Lake in the heart of the Finger Lakes wine country, Country Charm Campground offers a well-equipped family destination with 50 Adirondack-style campsite suites that accommodate RVs, tents, and cabin-style lodging in a setting well positioned for exploring one of the most scenically and culturally distinctive regions in the northeastern United States. The campground's own pond and on-site recreation infrastructure give guests a self-contained activity environment that complements the wine trail, lake recreation, and natural area exploration available across the broader Finger Lakes landscape. On-site recreational programming spans a broad range suited to multigenerational family camping—disc golf, a fishing pier on the pond, paddle boat and boat rentals, canoe and kayak access, volleyball, shuffleboard, horseshoes, hiking on the property's trail network, and biking round out a roster that gives guests full-day activity options without requiring a drive to regional destinations. Full hookup sites, clean restrooms and showers, a laundry facility, a general store, a recreation center, and playground infrastructure address the practical daily needs of an extended family camping stay in a property format that rewards guests who plan for multiple nights of exploration across the Finger Lakes. Canandaigua Lake, the westernmost of the Finger Lakes proper, and Keuka Lake—the Y-shaped lake just east of the campground—are both accessible within a short drive and provide the swimming, boating, sailing, and fishing access characteristic of the Finger Lakes recreational culture. The Finger Lakes Wine Trail, one of the most productive and internationally recognized American Viticultural Areas outside of California and the Pacific Northwest, encompasses hundreds of wineries along the lakes' glacially carved slopes, with Riesling and Cabernet Franc as the signature varietals of the cool-climate lake-effect growing conditions. Tastings, cellar tours, and harvest events during the September and October growing season make the wine country surrounding the campground one of the most visited regional tourism destinations in New York State. Watkins Glen State Park, at the southern tip of Seneca Lake approximately 30 miles from the campground, provides access to one of the most dramatic gorge hiking experiences in the Finger Lakes—a mile-and-a-half trail ascending through 19 cascades in a narrow sandstone gorge whose mist-filled atmosphere and waterfall scenery have made it one of New York's most photographed state parks. The NASCAR and sports car racing events at Watkins Glen International bring motorsport visitors to the region throughout the summer, and the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, Pennsylvania's Tioga County rafting, and the Chemung Valley's natural areas extend the regional day-trip roster for guests staying multiple nights. Country Charm Campground is open through the spring-through-fall Finger Lakes camping season, with the summer months delivering the warmest lake swimming conditions and the most active wine trail programming. Fall's harvest season—September through October—is arguably the region's most visually spectacular period, when vineyard color change, harvest events, and the apple orchards of Ontario County create a multi-layered autumn experience that draws visitors from across the Northeast. Advance reservations for summer holiday weekends and the October foliage and harvest peak are strongly recommended.

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.

Woodstream Campsite

Woodstream Campsite in Gainesville, New York, offers full-hookup RV sites, tent camping, and cabins alongside a fishing creek in Wyoming County's Western New York farmland. An outdoor pool, mini-golf, and a game room serve a classic, no-fuss family campground south of Letchworth State Park. Full-hookup RV sites serve guests with rigs, with tent camping and cabins covering the rest. A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side, with WiFi throughout. One important planning note: the campground closes for the season over winter and reopens each spring, so confirm dates before booking a shoulder-season stay. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with mini-golf, a game room, sports courts, basketball, volleyball, and horseshoes across the grounds, plus a playground and pavilion. A creek, pond, and lake on the property support fishing, and biking and swimming run from camp. Food trucks visit and planned activities run through the season. Pets are welcome. Gainesville sits in Wyoming County's agricultural hill country in the Genesee River valley, and the wooded campsite privacy and rural character are the appeal. Letchworth State Park is the headline attraction close by — one of the most spectacular gorge landscapes in the eastern United States, and remarkable natural scenery at short-drive distance from a quiet farmland campground. The season runs spring through fall. Summer families and October foliage at Letchworth drive the heaviest demand — reserve ahead for fall color weekends, when the gorge draws visitors from across the Northeast.

Colden Lakes Resort

In the rolling countryside of Erie County south of Buffalo—in a New York Western Region landscape where working dairy farms, forested ridgelines, and the four-season climate of the Great Lakes transition zone define the character of the outdoor experience—Colden Lakes Resort has built a comprehensive family camping destination around four man-made, stocked fishing lakes and a recreation program rich enough to sustain multi-day stays without requiring a single drive off the property. The resort's heated pool, on-site restaurant with waterfront seating and live music, camp store with eight flavors of hand-dipped ice cream, and horse stall boarding create the specific hospitality combination that defines a true Western New York camping institution. Full hookup RV sites with water, electric, and sewer connections serve the campground's overnight and seasonal populations, and cabin rentals provide the fully sheltered alternative for guests who prefer enclosed accommodations. A heated in-ground swimming pool with a separate kiddie pool provides structured aquatic recreation for all ages, and the four stocked fishing lakes—kayakable, fishable, and bikeable around their perimeters—provide the natural aquatic environment that the resort's name references. A heated pool and stocked lakes operating simultaneously on the same property represents a meaningful dual aquatic offering. Basketball, playground equipment, horseshoe pits, a regulation softball diamond, hiking trails, and arcade games provide the recreational diversity that keeps family campers engaged across a long weekend. The laundry facility, propane fill station, and dump station address the practical infrastructure needs of extended stays. Horse stalls with boarding availability serve the equestrian-traveling guests who represent an unusual and appreciated accommodation for Western New York campgrounds. The four man-made lakes are the resort's most distinctive natural feature. Stocked and maintained for active fishing, the lakes support bass, catfish, and panfish populations accessible from the bank, from a kayak, or from the resort's water access points throughout the property. The lakes' setting within the resort's rolling Erie County landscape—surrounded by the mixed hardwood forest typical of the lower Great Lakes zone—gives the fishable water a natural character that stocked ponds in more urban settings can't replicate. The kayaking circuit around the lakes provides a peaceful morning activity that blends physical recreation with natural observation in a way that the pool and game facilities alone wouldn't supply. The Erie County landscape surrounding the resort provides the Western New York outdoor and cultural itinerary for guests with day-trip energy. Niagara Falls—one of the world's most visited natural wonders—is accessible for the dedicated day trip that its scale and spectacle justify once per visit. The Erie County Wine Trail along Lake Erie's southeastern shore produces cool-climate wines of surprising quality, and the combination of lake shore scenery and boutique winery stops makes for an easy half-day excursion. The Buffalo-Niagara region's broader cultural programming—the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Canalside waterfront, and the Frank Lloyd Wright architectural heritage—gives guests with urban interests a genuine city destination within reasonable range. Colden Lakes Resort operates seasonally in the Western New York camping calendar. Summer represents the peak family season, and the resort's programming calendar of organized activities creates the kind of community rhythm that repeat-visit families find easy to re-enter each year. Reserve your lakeside site early for summer holiday weekends, rent the kayak from the resort, and let the four stocked lakes and the ice cream selection at the camp store make the case for Erie County's quietly excellent camping country.

The waterfront categories put you on the creek and are worth requesting early; confirm your tier, as the water-and-electric categories do not carry sewer at the site. Two cabins, including a four-person unit, and three tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with the creek supporting swimming, fishing, canoeing, and kayaking.

Splash Valley Resort and Waterpark

122 RV Sites, 23 Cabins, 36 Tent Sites, 2 Yurts, 12 Villas, 4 Suites

Splash Valley Resort and Waterpark in Cobden, Ontario, offers 122 RV sites, 39 cabin, suite, and villa units, 36 tent sites, and two yurts in the Ottawa Valley, with 30 and 50-amp water-and-electric service and rigs accepted to 50 feet.

One hundred twenty-two sites span 30-amp water-and-electric, 50-amp water-and-electric, 15-amp tent trailer, and 30-amp tent trailer categories, carrying water and electric with site WiFi, sized to 50 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Note these are water-and-electric rather than full hookup at the site — plan tank capacity and use the dump station. Thirty-nine cabins, suites, and villas, 36 tent sites, and two yurts make the lodging range unusually broad. A general store, boutique shop, laundry, restrooms, showers, firewood, and recycling handle the practical side. You may bring your own food to the water park, but nothing in glass. The water park and splash pad anchor the summer, with a lake and beach supporting swimming, boating, paddle boats, fishing, and inflatable water toys. Mini-golf, laser tag, gem mining, sports courts, basketball, volleyball, walking trails, hiking, biking, a playground, dog park, snack bar, and on-site dining fill the rest, with live music through the season.

Whitewater Cottage and RV Resort

20 RV Sites, 24 Cabins

Along a scenic 2.5-kilometer stretch of the Ottawa River in Foresters Falls, Ontario—in the Whitewater Region Township of Renfrew County where the Ottawa River's Foresters Falls rapid creates the whitewater kayaking and rafting destination that the international paddling community has built Wilderness Tours and the Ottawa River's commercial rafting industry around, 75 minutes west of downtown Ottawa in the Ottawa Valley's Canadian Shield landscape—Whitewater Cottage & RV Resort, a Summerhill Resorts property, provides RV sites with full hookups, river-view chalets, a luxury lake house, glamping options, a sandy beach, a pool, hiking and walking trails, volleyball and basketball courts, mountain bike trails, kayak and canoe rentals, and the Whitewater BeerSpa—an on-site thermal wellness experience combining hot tubs, saunas, dump buckets, river dashes, hammocks, campfires, and a traditional float pool—in a resort whose Ottawa River location, the BeerSpa's unique wellness concept, and the Wilderness Tours rafting access create the most distinctive river resort experience in the Ottawa Valley. A BeerSpa on the Ottawa River. Wilderness Tours next door. The accommodation range—full hookup RV sites, river-view chalets, a luxury lake house, and glamping configurations—creates the broadest spectrum in the Ottawa Valley resort market, serving the Class A motorhome traveler and the couples' retreat cabin guest with the same river setting and resort amenity access. The sandy beach on the Ottawa River provides the swimming and sunbathing access that the river's current creates at the calmer water downstream of the rapids, and the pool provides the controlled-water alternative. Hiking and walking trails through the Shield forest, volleyball and basketball courts, and mountain bike trails on the resort's forested acreage create the terrestrial activity complement to the river's paddling options. The Whitewater BeerSpa—the resort's signature wellness facility featuring hot tubs, saunas, dump buckets, cold-water river dashes, hammocks, campfires, and a traditional float pool—creates an experience unique in the Canadian camping landscape and worth the Foresters Falls trip on its own terms. Foresters Falls sits in the Whitewater Region Township of Renfrew County on the Ottawa River's Foresters Falls rapid, in the river corridor between Cobden and Castleford where the Ottawa's gradient and the Shield's granite banks create the whitewater kayaking, surfing, and commercial rafting opportunities that Wilderness Tours—one of Canada's largest commercial adventure tourism operators—has built its Ottawa River operation around since the 1970s. The Foresters Falls rapid's standing wave creates the playboat kayaking venue that the international whitewater community uses for training and freestyle events, and the Class III-IV rapids downstream of Foresters Falls toward Palmer Rapids provide the commercial rafting route that Wilderness Tours operates from its base adjacent to the resort property. Ottawa, 75 minutes east on Highway 17, provides the national capital's complete cultural infrastructure—the Canadian Museum of History, the National Gallery of Canada, Parliament Hill's Centre Block and Peace Tower, and the Rideau Canal's UNESCO-designated 7.8-kilometer winter skating rink create the Ottawa cultural calendar that the Foresters Falls weekend escape and the Ottawa day-trip combine into a complete Renfrew County experience. Algonquin Provincial Park's west gate, 90 minutes north on Hwy 60, provides the Shield's most iconic canoe tripping and wildlife observation landscape. Whitewater Cottage & RV Resort operates seasonally through the Ottawa Valley summer and fall, with the Ottawa River's highest commercial rafting water in May and June and the BeerSpa's year-round thermal cycle creating the dual-season appeal that the Renfrew County river resort calendar sustains. Reserve your site, chalet, or BeerSpa session at Whitewater Cottage & RV Resort and let the Ottawa River, the Wilderness Tours rafting access, and the BeerSpa's river-dash thermal cycle make the Foresters Falls stay the Ottawa Valley adventure that Canada's most complete river resort provides.
