Amazing county campground! Nice paddling area and 2-3 mile trails. Sites are fairly spacious and well maintained. Bathrooms and showers are extremely clean. Very highly recommend and will certainly come back!

I would stay here again! Very nice campground. My site (27) had electricity only and that was fine. Arrived in a thunderstorm and the area never developed puddles, even though it was level. The pea gravel was smooth and so easy to walk on in bare feet. All sites appeared large and many are long. No significant roads nearby so it was quiet. The restroom/shower facility is very clean and well mainta... I would stay here again! Very nice campground. My site (27) had electricity only and that was fine.

No significant roads nearby so it was quiet. The restroom/shower facility is very clean and well maintained. My site was spotless and I didn’t see litter anywhere in the campground. The main roads are paved and appear new. Employees I met all were young, polite, helpful and respectful. I’m guessing they were high school or college students. They seemed happy to be working there. The campground is located away from major highways so it isn’t ideal if you want to spend time in Ithaca, NY.

Close to home. Well maintained, but not as well as in the past. Our sight was covered with cigarette butts, disgusting! Need more stone, getting very, very thin. Usually nice and quiet. But when there are less than considerat people, not much monitoring. A real gift in Chemung County...its cool that my wifes related to the Park family, also.

We had multiple kids go on a Saturday afternoon, I was very surprised that you couldn't wear life jackets. The kids could barley play in the water without the lifeguards blowing the whistle to stop. Multiple lifeguards wearing thong bathing suits which is okay but when it's a family setting I dont think it's appropriate. The swimming area opens at noon. The bathrooms & changing rooms are clean and... We had multiple kids go on a Saturday afternoon, I was very surprised that you couldn't wear life jackets.
