A unique little campground right on the shores of Lake Ontario. Ownwrship very kind and helpful. Convenient to town and SUNY Oswego. Our cabin was clean and comfortable. Spotless bathrooms with plenty of hot water. Beautiful sunsets every night. Food and ice cream stands right across the road. Overall a great vacation spot that is affordable and I highly recommend it.

Patrick and Ann are very friendly and engaging owners. Great combination of RV Park with a variety of cabin combinations depending upon your need. Several "rustic" cabins, several updated cabins, and 8 new modular cabins with decks and 180 degree view of the lake. Very reasonable and great food across the road. Highly recommend!!!

Fantastic Stay at Sunset Cabins and RV Park – Highly Recommended! We stayed at Sunset Cabins and RV Park in Oswego, NY for 8 nights and had a wonderful experience. Our pull-through site with full hookups was easy to access and well-maintained, making setup a breeze. The location is perfect—just minutes from beautiful Lake Ontario, the historic Minetto Drive-In, Oswego Speedway, Fulton Speedway,... Fantastic Stay at Sunset Cabins and RV Park – Highly Recommended! We stayed at Sunset Cabins and RV Park in Oswego, NY for 8 nights and had a wonderful experience. Our pull-through site with full hookups was easy to access and well-maintained, making setup a breeze. The location is perfect—just minutes from beautiful Lake Ontario, the historic Minetto Drive-In, Oswego Speedway, Fulton Speedway, SUNY Oswego, and some of the best fishing in the region. Whether you're into motorsports, outdoor recreation, or just relaxing by the lake, there's something nearby for everyone. The bathrooms and showers were exceptionally clean—truly some of the best we’ve seen at any RV park. It's clear that owner Patrick takes great pride in the property. He's working hard to expand the park with more sites and new amenities, and his dedication shows. We would absolutely recommend Sunset Cabins and RV Park to anyone visiting the Oswego area. We’re already looking forward to our next stay!

We love Sunset! The owners are so friendly and accommodating 💕 We brought our gas grill from home and were even able to host a party for our baseball team from the large premium cabin right next to the pool and large field area. We paid A nominal parking (County water/waste/sewage) fee and had a heck of a good time. There's a cute ice cream place right across the street with a path to lake Ontari... We love Sunset!

This place is a great and affordable vacation spot. We always get the big house and it fits out large family comfortably. They've improved on the property every year, which is really nice. Nice short order seafood joint, and an ice cream shop right across the street and on the lake... unbeatable sunset views! Great place to get away!
