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.

Royal Mountain Campground

In Johnstown, New York—in Fulton County at the southern gateway to the Adirondacks where the Mohawk Valley's historical corridor, Sir William Johnson's colonial-era Johnson Hall mansion, the Adirondack foothills' first-growth forests, and the 44 lakes of Fulton County's lake district create the specific upstate New York environment where Revolutionary War heritage, working-class Adirondack culture, and freshwater fishing intersect in one of the state's historically richest but least overcrowded regional corridors—Royal Mountain Campground provides tent and RV sites with water and electric hookups including 30 and 50-amp full hookup options, a stocked fishing pond, nature trails, volleyball and bocce ball and horseshoe courts, a playground, a community fire pit, laundry facilities, WiFi, and Granny's Ice Cream Shanty on-site in the family-operated Fulton County campground that the Johnstown location places within reach of the Adirondack Park's southern boundary, the historic sites of the Mohawk Valley, and the 44 Lakes region's summer recreation circuit. The stocked fishing pond, the on-site ice cream destination, and the Adirondack gateway positioning together constitute the combination that makes Royal Mountain a family campground rather than a transit stop. Water and electric hookup sites with 30 and 50-amp service, full hookup positions for guests requiring sewer connections, and tent sites provide the accommodation range at the family-operated campground. A stocked fishing pond on the property provides the immediate catch-and-release fishing access that the youngest campers particularly value—a pond 30 yards from the site requires no fishing license for children in New York and no early-morning boat launch logistics. Nature trails through the Fulton County woodland landscape connect the campground's grounds to the surrounding forest. Volleyball, bocce ball, and horseshoe courts provide the organized outdoor competition that family and group campground programming traditionally centers on. A playground, community fire pit, grills, and picnic tables complete the family outdoor living infrastructure. Granny's Ice Cream Shanty on-site provides the light food and dessert destination that transforms a campground ice cream stop into a reason guests who aren't camping drive to the property on summer evenings. Laundry facilities, hot showers, propane service, and WiFi serve the practical needs. Johnson Hall State Historic Site—in Johnstown—is the 1763 Georgian-style manor house of Sir William Johnson, British Superintendent of Indian Affairs and the most politically influential colonial figure in the Mohawk Valley, whose relationships with the Haudenosaunee Confederacy and the colonial New York government shaped the northeastern frontier in the decades before the American Revolution. The site's historic interpretation of colonial-era Mohawk Valley politics and Johnson's role in the French and Indian War makes it the most substantive historical attraction in Fulton County. The Adirondack Animal Land—accessible from the campground within minutes—is Fulton County's wildlife preserve and petting zoo providing the family day-trip destination that combines the native Adirondack wildlife education with the hands-on animal encounter that younger visitors specifically request. The Adirondack Rail Trail's converted railroad corridor provides the cycling and walking access into the Adirondack foothills' lake and forest landscape that Fulton County's outdoor recreation calendar makes available from the Johnstown area. Royal Mountain Campground is open seasonally through New York's camping calendar. Summer brings the lake district's peak recreation season, with the Fulton County Lake Association's 44 lakes providing the boating and fishing calendar that makes this region a genuine destination rather than a transit corridor. Reserve early for the peak summer weeks and the Adirondack foliage season in October, fish the pond on arrival evening, and let Johnson Hall's colonial heritage and Granny's Ice Cream earn the Fulton County stay that the 44 Lakes district has been providing upstate New York families for generations.

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.

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.
