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.

Shady Shores RV Resort & Campground

6 RV Sites

Shady Shores RV Resort and Campground in Sterling, New York, delivers waterfront camping along the south shore of Lake Ontario and the Blind Sodus Bay inlet in Cayuga County's lakefront countryside — a resort with breathtaking Great Lake views in the Sterling and Fair Haven area that has served as a favorite destination for families and friends seeking the specific combination of Lake Ontario's open-water beauty, the Fair Haven Beach State Park's sandy shoreline, and the world-class trophy trout and salmon fishing that the lake's cold, deep waters produce in the remarkable fishery that has made the Lake Ontario south shore one of the premier sport fishing destinations in the Great Lakes system. The resort's bay and lake frontage gives guests the multi-aspect waterfront experience — the protected Blind Sodus Bay for calm-water recreation and the open Lake Ontario shoreline for the full Great Lake experience. RV sites and camping accommodations with the shoreline positioning on Lake Ontario and Blind Sodus Bay give guests the comprehensive waterfront access that the Sterling-Fair Haven corridor provides for boating, swimming, fishing, and the specific sunrise-over-the-lake experience that a western New York Great Lakes shore campground delivers on clear mornings when the lake's unobstructed northeastern horizon lights the water in the specific quality of Great Lakes dawn light. The resort's decades of serving returning family guests reflect the depth of loyalty that a well-positioned waterfront campground sustains from year to year. Pets are welcome. Lake Ontario's sport fishery is one of the most productive trophy trout and salmon fisheries in North America — a legacy of the Great Lakes restoration programs that began stocking chinook salmon, coho salmon, steelhead rainbow trout, brown trout, and lake trout into the lake system in the 1960s and 1970s, creating a sport fishery where the open-lake trolling for chinook salmon in the summer months and the bay and stream steelhead runs in fall and spring sustain a charter boat industry of significant regional scale. The Wayne and Cayuga County Lake Ontario ports — Sodus Point, Fair Haven, Port Ontario — provide the charter fleet access to open-water fishing that produces the trophy catches that the Great Lakes sport fishing industry specifically markets to anglers from across the northeastern United States and Ontario. Fair Haven Beach State Park, two miles west of the resort in Cayuga County, preserves a mile of Lake Ontario sand beach and the Sodus Bay inlet's bay beach in a state park that gives public access to the shoreline that private resort development has claimed along most of the Lake Ontario south shore. The park's swimming beach, pier fishing access, and the dune-backed natural beach character give families the public waterfront complement to the resort's private amenity infrastructure. Shady Shores RV Resort and Campground operates through the upstate New York camping season from spring through fall, with the summer months from mid-June through Labor Day representing the peak family camping demand and the spring and fall fishing seasons for steelhead and brown trout drawing the angling-focused visitor market that extends the resort's effective season into April through May and September through October. The Erie Canal's cultural and cycling tourism, accessible 20 miles south via the Cayuga County trail network, gives the resort's inland neighbors a heritage tourism dimension that complements the lakefront recreation. Reserve sites well ahead for summer holiday weekends and the July salmon-fishing peak when Ontario south shore accommodation fills from the New York and Ontario markets.

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.

Cherry Hill Campground

12 RV Sites, 1 Cabin, 33 Tent Sites, 4 Glamping Sites

Situated directly across the road from Darien Lake Theme Park in Darien Center, New York, Cherry Hill Campground occupies one of the most strategically positioned campsites in western New York—offering lush, shaded tent and cabin sites with immediate proximity to one of the region's most complete family entertainment complexes while maintaining the rustic, natural character that distinguishes a genuine campground experience from a resort parking lot. The campground's tree canopy and open meadow spaces give it a self-contained outdoor character that serves guests equally well whether they spend their days at the theme park across the street or entirely within Cherry Hill's own wooded grounds. Shaded campsites are individually appointed with picnic tables and fire rings, and the campground's cabin inventory provides a covered lodging option for guests who want the campground environment without tent setup. Large open areas on the property support a recreational program built around group games—volleyball nets, horseshoe pits, and tetherball courts give families with children an active outdoor option that functions as a natural complement to the more structured entertainment available at Darien Lake. A general store, firewood sales, clean restrooms and showers, and walking trails through the wooded property round out the on-site amenity picture in a format consistent with the campground's straightforward, nature-first philosophy. Darien Lake Theme Park, located steps from the campground entrance, is western New York's largest amusement park—a full-day family entertainment destination with roller coasters, water park attractions, live music, and a seasonal concert amphitheater that brings major national touring acts to the Genesee County countryside each summer. The geographic positioning of Cherry Hill directly across from the park gates eliminates the transportation logistics that complicate most theme park camping arrangements, letting guests walk to the park in the morning and return to campfire and hammock in the evening without moving their vehicles. Western New York's natural and cultural landscape surrounding the campground provides substantial day-trip depth for guests extending their stay beyond a single-night theme park visit. Letchworth State Park, approximately 30 miles south, protects a 17-mile gorge of the Genesee River with waterfalls, canyon overlooks, and hiking trails that have earned it frequent recognition as one of the most spectacular state parks in the eastern United States. Niagara Falls, accessible within approximately an hour's drive to the northwest, anchors the region's larger tourism circuit alongside the Erie Canal heritage corridor and the craft brewery and wine trail culture of the greater Buffalo metro area. Cherry Hill Campground is open through the summer and early fall outdoor season, aligned with Darien Lake's operating calendar and the peak family camping window in the Genesee County area. The campground's proximity to the theme park makes it the logical choice for families planning multi-day Darien Lake visits, and the open-air campfire culture and wooded site environment offer a natural decompression from the stimulation of a full day at an amusement park. Reservations are recommended for summer holiday weekends and any dates coinciding with major concert events at the Darien Lake amphitheater, when the surrounding accommodation options in western New York fill across all formats.

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.

Lakewood Park Campground

23 RV Sites

Lakewood Park Campground in Ryan Township, Pennsylvania, is a 54-acre family-owned retreat in the heart of Schuylkill County — three miles from the I-81 interchange in the northeastern Pennsylvania anthracite coal region, where the dramatic history of the Industrial Revolution's most demanding underground labor meets a natural landscape of forested ridges, river gorges, and some of the most scenically underrated campground terrain in the state. The combination of I-81 accessibility and genuine 54-acre character puts the campground in a category between highway stopover and destination resort that suits both through-travelers and guests making a multi-day base camp. Luxury, family, and rustic cabin options cover the full range of solid-wall accommodation preferences, and full-hookup RV sites with Wi-Fi and cable TV across 120-plus channels handle extended-stay connectivity needs. The property's 10-acre lake provides fishing, kayaking, and paddleboating in a natural setting at the center of the campground, and boat docks and a general store round out the on-site amenity picture. The campground is actively expanding its pull-through and full-hookup site inventory — a sign of growing demand that reflects the property's increasingly well-known regional reputation. Planned events through the season add structured programming alongside the natural lake activity. Pets are welcome. The Schuylkill County landscape carries the geological and cultural weight of Pennsylvania's anthracite history in its terrain and its community character — coal culm banks, company towns, and the heritage of immigrant labor that built this region's identity across the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries sit alongside genuine natural beauty in a combination that rewards curious visitors willing to explore the area's depth beyond its industrial surface. Pioneer Tunnel Coal Mine and Steam Train in Ashland, just a short drive from the campground, provides guided tours through an actual anthracite mine tunnel — a genuinely educational and physically cool (literally, at 52 degrees year-round) experience that connects visitors directly to the region's industrial heritage. Lehigh Gorge State Park, accessible within reasonable driving distance, protects the Lehigh River corridor with whitewater rafting, the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway, and one of the finest whitewater kayaking routes in Pennsylvania. Two additional state parks with lake fishing and swimming are within 15 minutes of camp, extending the natural recreation options well beyond the campground's own lake. Lakewood Park Campground operates year-round, providing consistent I-81 corridor accommodation in a region that serves both long-distance travelers crossing Pennsylvania and guests specifically seeking Schuylkill County's heritage and natural recreation. The coal mining history attractions operate seasonally — plan Pioneer Tunnel visits for May through October when tours are fully operational. Summer weekends and holiday periods book fastest as the combination of lake recreation, regional attractions, and family programming creates competitive demand across the campground's cabin and RV inventory. Contact the campground directly to confirm current site inventory and expansion progress — the addition of new full-hookup pull-through sites makes this a property whose capacity and amenity footprint continues to grow. The combination of Schuylkill County heritage attractions, nearby state park recreation, and the campground's own 10-acre lake creates the kind of multi-day itinerary depth that turns first-time Lakewood Park guests into returning visitors.

The waterfront category is the one to request. Eighty-four cabins and cottages and 46 tent sites make the lodging inventory far larger than the RV side. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, showers, firewood, boat storage, recycling, and food trucks handle the practical side. The property was formerly Sherkston Shores Beach Resort & Campground. A water park and splash pad anchor the summer, with an outdoor pool, hot tub, sauna, and the beach alongside. Mini-golf, a fitness center, clubhouse, game room, arcade, sports courts, tennis, pickleball, volleyball, basketball, golf cart rentals, a playground, dog park, and bar fill the rest, with boating, paddle boarding, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, hiking, biking, live music, and Niagara wine country nearby.

Walking trails, a dog park, community fire pit, and golf cart rentals round it out. On-site dining covers meals. Pets are welcome.

Summer is the peak by a wide margin. Book well ahead for July and August weekends.

Glendale Valley Campground

17 RV Sites, 7 Tent Sites

In Fallentimber, Pennsylvania, at the edge of the Allegheny Plateau in Clearfield County, Glendale Valley Campground sits two miles from Prince Gallitzin State Park—Pennsylvania's third most visited state park and the protected shoreline of 1,635-acre Glendale Lake with its 26 miles of curving, forested waterfront. The campground's position in the heart of the Alleghenies puts it squarely in the middle of Central Pennsylvania's most rewarding outdoor recreation landscape, where the ridges and valleys of the old coal and timber country have given way to the lakes, trails, and wildlife corridors that make this part of the state genuinely beautiful in every season. Full hookup sites accommodate rigs of all sizes across a gated property that features a recently renovated bathhouse, a new camp store restocked with snacks, firewood, and supplies in 2023, and a modern laundry room added in 2024 reflecting the campground's ongoing investment in facilities. EV charging, a boat ramp providing direct Glendale Lake access, a playground, volleyball courts, gaga ball, and a recreation center complete the main amenity offerings. The property is pet-friendly with plenty of open area for walking dogs, WiFi coverage throughout the grounds, and propane fills available at the camp store. Beach access at Glendale Lake gives guests a sandy waterfront option without leaving the state park corridor. Glendale Lake's 26 miles of forested shoreline define the recreational character of the surrounding region—boating, fishing for bass and panfish, swimming, kayaking, and canoeing on a lake that sits entirely within the state park's protected boundaries, creating the kind of clean, uncrowded freshwater experience that Pennsylvania's more accessible lakes can rarely provide. Over 30 miles of hiking trails in Prince Gallitzin State Park extend through the surrounding Allegheny forest from easy waterfront paths to moderate ridge hikes with panoramic views across the Clearfield County landscape. Mountain biking on the park's trail network adds another dimension for cycling guests who want mileage alongside the lake views. The campground's entertainment calendar runs throughout the summer season with weekend activities that create the social energy guests want without demanding participation: live music and bands, DJs, karaoke, bingo, and the beloved Christmas in July celebration that the campground runs each summer with decorated sites, holiday lights, and the festive atmosphere that has become one of the year's most anticipated events. The surrounding Allegheny highlands offer wine and beer tasting at nearby regional producers, and Clearfield County's dark skies—well away from the light pollution of the Pittsburgh and State College corridors—reward any guest willing to step outside after dark for a look at the Milky Way. Glendale Valley operates seasonally with peak demand running from Memorial Day through Labor Day when Prince Gallitzin's lake and trail access draws maximum visitation from across Central Pennsylvania. The shoulder seasons—late May through June and September into early October—offer the park's outdoor recreation at its most pleasant temperatures with noticeably lighter crowds on the lake and hiking trails. Reserve your site at Glendale Valley Campground and let Prince Gallitzin's beautiful Allegheny lake country be the setting for your Central Pennsylvania basecamp.

Interlake RV Park & Campground

Interlake RV Park in Rhinebeck, New York, offers full-hookup RV sites with water, sewer, electric, and cable TV on a big-rig-friendly layout in the Hudson Valley, 90 miles north of New York City. A heated outdoor pool, a catch-and-release fishing pond, an arcade, and a snack bar make this a family campground rather than a highway stop, with premium WiFi throughout. Full-hookup sites carry water, sewer, and electric with cable TV and premium WiFi, in back-in and pull-through configurations with fire pits and picnic tables. Pull-through sites are available in limited numbers, so request one at booking if you need it. The layout is big-rig friendly. A general store stocks essentials, coin laundry and a dump station handle the practical side, and a recreation center hosts community events. Check-in is 2pm and check-out 11am; nightly rates start at $50 and monthly rates at $1,050. Recreation covers a wide age range. A large heated swimming pool anchors the summer, a catch-and-release fishing pond and lake fishing serve anglers, and an arcade and recreation hall handle indoor hours. A playground, horseshoes, and picnicking areas spread across the grounds, with a snack bar and grill for on-site meals and a full calendar of planned activities. Pets are welcome. The park is accessible from both the New York State Thruway and the Taconic Parkway, and sits surrounded by Hudson Valley wine country, historic river towns, and the Catskill foothills. Boating and wine and beer tasting are close by. The park runs the Hudson Valley season, with summer families and fall foliage driving demand.

Rustic Acres RV Resort & Campground

28 RV Sites, 6 Tent Sites, 2 Glamping Sites, 1 Onsite RV/Trailer

Situated in Shippenville, Clarion County, Pennsylvania, with over 65 years of continuous operation as a family retreat in the Clarion River watershed, Rustic Acres RV Resort and Campground combines the deep institutional character of a multi-generational family campground with the extraordinary natural resource access of a property bordering 3,000 acres of state game lands and positioned five minutes from the Clarion River—one of Pennsylvania's most celebrated kayaking and fly fishing corridors. The resort's longevity, inclusive atmosphere, and genuine outdoor character give it the quality of a campground that has earned its reputation through decades of consistently good guest experiences in a spectacular natural setting. Full hookup sites with big-rig-friendly layouts, clean restrooms and showers, laundry facilities, a playground, community fire pit gathering areas, EV charging infrastructure, RV storage, firewood, and a general store address the daily practical and comfort needs of guests on extended stays. The resort operates year-round—a meaningful characteristic in the Clarion County outdoor recreation landscape where fall foliage, winter steelhead fishing, and spring wildflowers give different seasons distinct appeal. LGBTQ+-friendly policies reflect an explicitly inclusive community character, and the dog park and pet-friendly accommodations across the property welcome guests traveling with animals. Wi-Fi connectivity and the resort's location near the craft beer and wine trail culture emerging in the Clarion River valley provide modern amenity context alongside the property's natural-area orientation. The Clarion River—designated as a Pennsylvania Scenic River and one of the last free-flowing rivers in the state's northern tier—provides kayaking, canoeing, and fishing access in a corridor of protected state forest and game lands that gives it a backcountry character unusual for a river so easily accessible from a well-maintained campground. The river's clear water runs over shale and sandstone bedrock in a succession of riffles, pools, and gentle rapids that provide excellent conditions for flatwater and mild-whitewater paddling at a variety of skill levels throughout the spring-through-fall paddling season. Wild trout fishing, particularly for smallmouth bass in the summer months and stocked trout in designated sections, draws anglers to the Clarion on a sustained basis across the warm-weather season. Cook Forest State Park, one of Pennsylvania's most significant natural heritage sites, is accessible within a short drive of the campground and protects the most extensive old-growth white pine and hemlock forest remaining in the northeastern United States. The Cathedral Area within the park, where trees 300 to 400 years old rise to heights of 175 feet in a forest interior that predates European settlement of Pennsylvania, is a National Natural Landmark that delivers a forest experience of genuine ancient quality rarely available in the densely settled eastern United States. Clear Creek State Park provides additional swimming, fishing, and hiking access in the same state forest complex. Rustic Acres RV Resort and Campground is open year-round, with each season delivering distinct appeal in the Clarion River country. Spring brings wildflower bloom and the first paddling days on the river; summer offers full swimming and warm-water fishing; fall delivers spectacular hardwood foliage color along the river corridor—among the most celebrated in Pennsylvania; and winter provides quiet, off-season solitude and access to steelhead fishing in some Clarion tributaries. Fall foliage weekends in late September and October represent the highest-demand reservation window, and advance booking for October weekends is strongly recommended.
