RV Camping near Dryden, New York

Back-Achers Campsites

12 RV Sites, 13 Tent Sites

Back-Achers Campsites in Himrod, NY, offers 12 RV sites and 13 tent sites, with 30-amp service and back-in sites for rigs up to 40 feet. Sites are standard back-ins carrying water and electric with a fire pit and picnic table. There's no sewer at the site, so plan on the on-site dump station. Note the electrical: this is a 30-amp campground throughout, so a rig wired for heavier service will need an adapter and some load management, and the 40-foot maximum keeps it to mid-size rigs. A bathhouse with showers, firewood, propane fills and exchange, a snack bar, and a pavilion cover the essentials, and pets are welcome with a playground on the grounds. Walking trails, horseshoes, picnicking, swimming, and boating on the lake fill the days, with the tent sites outnumbering the RV sites — this is a campground first and an RV park second. Himrod sits on the secluded western shore of Seneca Lake, the largest and deepest of the Finger Lakes at 36 miles long, in the heart of Finger Lakes wine country. Rates for sites and tent spots are on the booking page. Summer weekends on Seneca book early.

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.

Riverbend RV Park

135 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.

Susquehanna Trail and Campground

Susquehanna Trail and Campground in Oneonta, New York, offers full-hookup back-in RV sites with 30-amp service and rigs accepted to 50 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout, behind a gated entrance in Otsego County. An outdoor pool, playground, and general store serve family and group camping in Leatherstocking Country. Back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30-amp, sized to 50 feet on a layout that accommodates big rigs. This is a small property, so confirm availability rather than arriving on spec. A general store covers camp basics, firewood is available on site, and a dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical needs. A gated entrance controls access. Pets are welcome. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a playground for families and volleyball and horseshoes on the grounds. Fishing runs from the area, and planned activities fill the calendar through the season. The amenity set is straightforward and family-oriented, which is what the property has always been — group camping is a substantial part of the business, and the grounds are laid out for it. Oneonta sits at the Susquehanna River's confluence of branches in the rolling Otsego County countryside that James Fenimore Cooper immortalized in the Leatherstocking Tales. The county has one of the most culturally layered visitor offerings in rural New York: the Baseball Hall of Fame at Cooperstown, the Glimmerglass Opera's lake-view theater, and a substantial agricultural and craft tourism scene. Directions from Albany and the east: take I-90 west to Exit 25A (I-88), I-88 west to Exit 13, turn right at the end of the ramp onto Route 205, then left onto Highway 7 at the second traffic light — the campground is half a mile down. Cooperstown's summer season drives demand hard. Reserve well ahead.

Wine tasting is nearby. The resort sits where the Blind Sodus Bay inlet meets Lake Ontario in Cayuga County, which gives it Great Lake views and protected bay water at the same address — a combination that makes both open-water fishing and calm paddling available without moving the boat. The Sterling Nature Center's trails are close, and the Sterling Renaissance Festival draws crowds each summer. Fair Haven Beach State Park is minutes away, with the Finger Lakes wine country and Syracuse within reach. Summer is the season on Lake Ontario. Reserve well ahead for July and August.

Cherry Springs State Park is the destination for that. Summer and fall foliage drive demand. Reserve well ahead.
