After 7 years as seasonal campers at Camp Bell Campground, we are thrilled to see the positive improvements being made. The new owners are friendly and helpful and working hard every day to make the campground a nicer place for families. A lot of cleaning up, cleaning out, freshening up, and brightening up has taken place in just one season. Kudos to Rosemary, Geno, and the rest of the team!

Price went up and experience went down. Owners enforcing rules that they don’t follow themselves- their dog off the leash running at people aggressively, speeding through the campground on their carts, woman working in the camp store with dirty bare feet. Our tweens/teens were told they were “too big for the playground”. So many sites here are empty and we see why now. We’ve come here for many yea... Price went up and experience went down.

We’ve come here for many years but this year we didn’t feel welcome at all and we won’t be back.

We had a great experience at Camp Bell Campground, even though we only stayed overnight. Making the reservation was quick and easy, and they were very accommodating with our late check-in time. Our site was clearly marked, easy to find, level, and made parking a breeze. The campground itself was clean and well-maintained, with a lot of great amenities!

Camp Bell in Campbell NY is one of the cleanest campgrounds I have ever frequented. The laundry facilities, restrooms and pool were amazing The staff are amazing and extremely accommodating. The RV I rented was perfect. I can't wait to go there again.

Would not recomend to any one! Very rude, not willing to listen to what is happening. So right off being bitchy insted of being pleasant. Trying to set up and they start saying you can't park here, there was nothing pleasant about this trip. I paid for my son and his kids to go for a night and was asked why I was paying, it is none of her business why I'm paying as long as everything is by the rul... Would not recomend to any one!
