This is more like a tent campground than an rv campground. We were told that the owner put us away from the creek because they have a large crowd of regulars with dogs and such on the "other side". Not sure what that meant. When we pulled in, we called immediately and when the owner came out he told us we could leave but he would charge us $100 because he had turned away 15 people for the weekend. He had also told us it was unusual for people to book for 2 weeks as we had. It is TUESDAY, so if he had that many request for his spots then I am sure he would fill it by the weekend. However, he is threatening to keep my $100 although we said it was clearly NOT WHAT WAS SHOWN ON THE INTERNET. After I said he needed to give us a full refund because it isn't what they showed, he told me he was offended and told us to leave, we could not stay but he would keep my $100! This is maybe a local hang out more than a place for rv'ers! There was a porta potty when we first came down a slope. Our spot was literally in mud and grass, no gravel in our spot at all. Beware of you are looking for a typical rv park, this is NOT THAT! Smaller lots have gravel but they put us (35 ft unit) in the mud! Pictures show trailer covered in tarp and empty small sites. NO SEWER! Water/power only...said they pump you every 3 days (which was not told to us at time of reservation), which would be pushing it with 3 of us showering on our unit. Only way to get through that using bath houses, which is not something that should be forced, but should be optional. Bath house was not even finished, screen was ripped and blinds were broke. This was not the ideal set up for someone who is forced to use those facilities because of the sewer option not being there.

One of the best campgrounds in the fingerlakes, we have stayed here a couple of times and each time it has been a delight! In a family full of teenagers (4) that spend their year active in sports and activities, this quiet relaxing campground is what the doctor ordered. We spend our days playing games, traversing the babbling creek, and letting today's teenager get a taste of a time gone by. T...

We found this campsite on Facebook and tried it out last year for Memorial Day Weekend, before the end of our stay we had already booked our next stay.

We went for the weekend, now we have a seasonal site, and look forward to the weekends to see people that were once strangers who are now such amazing friends. Everyone should come and camp just once, you will never want to leave.

My wife and I were seasonal a at Creek-N-Wood last summer, and plan to be again this year. Pam and Vinny, the hosts, are just fantastic people.

The campground is lovely on the banks of a creek, each spot is secluded, yet there is great community in the pavilion which has an outdoor kitchen and living room. There is a fantastic and diverse group of seasonal campers, and I'm glad to call them my friends. There are get together a often, and great times around the fire. Do yourself a favor: skip the KOA and come enjoy a beautiful place with a great community.

Took a chance, based on an ad by the new owners last year and found gem in the woods, complete with a delightful stream that provides the perfect ambiance for nature lovers.

This is not one of those big rig commercial campgrounds where your camper almost touches your neighbors and there is a "keeping up with the Joneses" atmosphere. Here you will find just enough peace & quiet, mixed with the giggles of happy children at play and the contented din of friendly adult conversation. Randy and Brittney should be commended for their efforts to continue to make improvements during 2018, their 2nd year. We traveled from Florida to spend another month of June at Creek N Wood this year and hope to return again next year.
