We booked this for the Half-Ironman in Geneva, NY for the week of July 8th. Luckily we got in a day early and fortunately the KOA down the street had an open reservation.

Luckily we got in a day early and fortunately the KOA down the street had an open reservation. This RV park is not ready to be opened, but opened anyway. The bath house not being finished wasn't a huge deal breaker to us. Sites didn't have picnic table or fire rings and are really close together. If full it'll feel like a parking lot (no trees like in the pictures). The picture is actually a stock photo and not the RV park. Sewer hookups were all cut way too high and did not have the proper threading. No river access either because the grass is way too tall to get to it. We called and spoke with maybe the owner who was stressing he's been working overtime to get the site ready and that they aren't taking reservations for everyone (although they were because we added a day and booked a reservation without any of the above issues mentioned). He gave us a full refund, but we would have been screwed if the KOA didn't have a spot for us. If the owner is reading this please update your pictures to show the true location so people driving through aren't surprised.

Disappointing. Booked this only to find out no picnic tables, no fire rings and no bath house. Still under construction! Told they were booked for the weekend. As you can see several empty sites. Due to rain Super muddy and lots of standing water. Might have not been so bad if there was grass.

Would not recommend aleast until a full functioning bath house is completed as advertised on website as a "community bathhouse". Very poor advertisement. My wife and I were told to "drive down the road to shower". They do not refund as well so be cautious of your booking. In a few years this place has potential but I wouldn't say anytime soon.

Perfect place to stop for a couple days and visit attractions in the area. Although no one‘s here on site it makes for a nice quiet environment. The owner Bob runs a marina down the road a bit and it’s a super nice guy. It’s a brand new Park and I could see it turning into a pretty nice place over the years
