Great place to take your kids! We havent camped here, but there is lots to do. Fishing, a playground, and lots of trails to explore! Trails are all well marked, my 10 year old was able to lead the way with no problem
Beautiful, reasonably priced, easy to get to, big rig friendly, a little traffic noise but not bad.
This is a great little park. The lake is huge, lots of birds visit the lake. Its never crowded, there are decent bathrooms to use. There are cabins u can rent or spots for campers, or tents. There is a camp host during the summer months to moniter things.
Been camping there for over 50 years. One of my favorite campgrounds. Not a lot of amenities but you cant beat the price.
What a special little campground that we found! I’m so happy that we chose to stay here instead of a hotel. I booked the 2 cute cabins. They have electric, mini fridge, microwave, a space heater, room for 5 to sleep!!! They were like brand new. Bring your own bedding. Bathrooms right next to cabins. There are hookups available for campers. The shower house is very clean. Freshly painted. We got to enjoy some time with our boys by the campfire, they played football in the open grass. It was so perfect!!! The view of the lake is gorgeous! I can’t wait to go back when the leaves change! Would 100% recommend.
Very friendly staff. Always clean. Great family atmosphere. Sites arent level but not bad. Good fishing. Love it there. Price is great. Showers n bathrooms always clean. Playground n pavilions clean. Great place. Ive camped in tents there, pop up, trailer, motorhome and recently 5th wheel. We keep going back. I camped there with grandparents as a kid, took my kids n now grandkuds.
Very nice campground. Very relaxing.
We had our family reunion there. There was nothing to do . we couldnt find out where the entrance was to the 2.2 mile walk. Very nice place but not much to do.
Very fond memories. Trails to walk with Educational Info posted on posts throughout the trails, near certain trees. Cute stone stairway to walk at entry of trail. Periodic bench seating along the way too! Very nice area to enjoy. Has a very nice Park and good size lot for parking. And picnic/grill areas too.
An absolutely wonderful little campground. The park manager was an incredible help from the moment we arrived (very late I might add, it was after 9PM). Always friendly, professional, and attentive.The park itself, however small, offered a fair sized site, WITH POWER! Not all sites have power but on a Thursday I was able to get an electric site for through the weekend when the neighboring State parks were booked solid.Its a beautiful location, not as heavily shaded as I like but shady nonetheless. The views of the lake are stunning and the park big enough to keep us busy all weekend long.The proximity to Hornell and some larger grocery/retail chains made our trip even that much better. I cannot wait to come back again, especially with their very long season.
The man running it has gotten terrible. Has an issue with kids playing with squirt guns. Although we pay to camp here. The kids need a way to cool off outside. The creek is dried up. Love coming here. Would be better if they enforced speed limit and dogs on a leash on the camping side. People race right down the road past kids and dont even care. Its 5mph!! And loose dogs makes people neurvous.
Nice place to kayak.
Excellent experience! Clean, nice people, great place to camp while heading to Alfred university for football!
Great little park. A bit of something for everyone. Very family friendly. Just close enough and just far enough to town.
Nice campground not far off I86. Lake level was low during our stay.
Really nice place to get a spot close to the water. Some nice sites with shade trees. Nice hot showers and clean. Looks like theres plenty to do for kids here too
Small park very clean and quiet. Great view of the lake plenty of room to roam.
Wide, spacious, and family-friendly atmosphere. They provide camping and electric hookups in designated regions in the park. Pavilions, barbecue grilling stations, picnic tables, a few sandy beach regions, plenty of open space for outdoor sports.
Very nice camp ground Judy and the staff make sure you are taken care of they go out of there way!
I can say I was beyond happy with my weekend of staying there. I held my daughters graduation party in the campground pavilion. Very nice and very clean. Had fun camping two nights with family!
Beautiful place. I love fishing this place as long as I have a boat. Shore fishing is not great here
It is very nice place to go and have picnics. The park is kept very nice. The pavilions are first come first serve. No fees. They do have garbage cans. But clean up before you leave. Quiet and very nice
Beautiful views, large sites with 50 amps. Very helpful hosts.
Quiet park with camping, cabins and pavilions available. We have had several birthday parties here in their free pavilions. Playground could use an upgrade. Bathrooms by the playground are awful 😩
Great place to camp, hike, and fish
Love the ride down on the motorcycle. My wife enjoys feeding the fish from the dam and the view.
Very nice county park, has camping, very clean, small hiking trails
This place is very pretty, quite, and luxurious, great priced will come back any time.
Nice and quiet. Nice cabins and nice fellowship with other campers.
Great place for picnics and just to spend quality time having fun and enjoy the beautiful views.Theres trail heads on the road and within the park itself. Gotta look close to find them as it seems theres not much traffic.
Such a beautiful place.Tonight was my first time there.My boyfriend took me there after dinner and asked me to marry him and I said yes.The sun was setting it was so pretty.Perfect place and a perfect night for a special occasions.
Its pretty and the grounds are kept up nice. Wish the picnic tables werent all crammed under pavilions, it makes it difficult to walk under them and get to trash bins.
A nice park with a lake. Go for BBQ, kayaking(bring your own), or just hanging out. My office is close by so I do pick up lunch and often just go there to eat.
Beautiful location to go for a picnic or camping. Weekends tend to be full of campers. The lake is pretty nice and people canoe there. The surrounding hills make for a nice backdrop
Fun place we found by accident.
I love going to the Parked. Beautiful nature and places to walk. Amazing place to bring your family and your friends. I love the fresh air and all the greenery around it.
I rented a cabin for myself to be with friends who have campers. This park is well kept and so are the cabins but there is only 2.
Quite spot with friendly people. Whats not to love for the price.
We enjoy the camping and we had a party there to.i think they need have a water area for playing in cause it get very hot up there in the sunshine.
Clean, well maintained. Great staff. County owned so it is just a no frills campground. One of my favorites
We liked this park for camping in the past.But we noticed things changed around there.I called to see if they still offered WiFi and they DO NOT! We need wifi to check our business accounts several times a day,So now that they got rid of wifi..no cable tv and even too far out to receive antenna reception,Sad so say we wont be back.
This place is amazing. Love the people that work here. Very helpful in a time of need.
Plenty of open space for games, easy access to the get kayaks in the lake. We take the camper here several times each year.
Really clean park minus thr guests leaving cans. Beautiful. Water was smelly. But. Its water. Lol
Cool play ground. Can canoe or kayak on the lake, has a boat launch and drop off point. Pavilions are nice.
Nice park, been there several times.
Very grassy right now but was able to catch a bass
Amazing always have a great time here , clean , friendly and reasonably priced $38 for 3 nights
This campground is a very nice place. It was very quiet and the kids loved the playground!!

Beautiful place for Car camping.
No hiking trails found, usually crowded during weekends.
Nice little park, would return if had a reason to.
Excellent camp ground and pleasant people running it.
Management is extremely rude, park is full of litter, as well as along the shoreline of the water.
Not to busy. Small enough to see the kids play and keep them busy.

2022-05-04The reason I gave 5 stars is because. My kids LOVE IT there, they like the non cramped park, they like being able to run around and not be ok top of everyone.The wife and I love it also because we love the outdoors and nature. We can go do cookouts there and invite a bunch of people and have a great time.

2022-04-25Loved this place! Pretty lake, and nice green grass. We were located right by the office. Nice guy said it was the most level space in the park. We stayed 3 nights. Traveled to Elmira one day to check out Mark Twain gravesite, and his study where he wrote his books was moved to the Elmira College campus. The college had beautiful old buildings from the 1800s. There are some really pretty homes around that area as well. Then we went to Niagara Falls the next day. It took 2 1/2 hrs, but it would have taken a lot longer if we took the trailer with us, and the gas would have been so expensive. The campgrounds are more expensive out there too. It was the right decision for us. You should try The Village Cafe in Arkport while youre here, the fried fish, breaded steak, and seafood bisque was delicious. Would definitely stay here again. It was so easy to register, and only $25 a night.

2022-07-02We are so grateful for Judy and Roger, the camphosts, and everyone we met here. We unexpectedly found ourselves camping here for 2 weeks because it was close to St James Hospital where I was getting rabies shots. (I was attacked by a rabid raccoon 40 minutes north at a different park.) We couldnt have asked for a better spot to enjoy during a stressful time. As full-time travelers, we dont usually sit still that long but we had everything we needed to be comfortable. Showers, bathrooms, surrounded by the lake and trees, and friendly smiles. This is marked as one of our favorite spots now.

2021-06-06The park trail intertwines with the Finger Lakes Trail and is a moderate hike with rolling changes in elevation as you Trek around the lake. Nice place to walk your canine. Please practice leave no trace.

2022-06-04I go kayaking there. Its a small lake but its close and the shores are shallow with plenty of shade and fish.I talked to a older couple who told me in 72 when hurricane Agnes came thru, the dam was almost spilling over the top. They also told me it used to have a beach a lifeguard and swimming was allowed.
