OT: Campground recommendations for upstate NY?

[molly2004]

Hi, everyone. We'll be taking a drive through NY this summer and are looking for a nice family campsite in the Finger Lakes region. i hope you can recommend something nice with clean bathrooms. We're looking for a place that will allow one nighters. We are a family of four (DH and I are in our 30s, DS2 & DS2)

Thanks!

Spruce Row in Ithaca, NY is very nice, http://sprucerow.com/
Do you know where in the finger lakes you want to stop?

Hi~
We've really enjoyed Watkins Glen State Park Campground:
http://nysparks.state.ny.us/parks/info.asp?parkID=105
To reserve, you can go here:

The Glen is absolutely beautiful and we find there are wonderful wooded sites that offer privacy between them.
It is a State Park, so the bathrooms are not the most luxurious- not that I would expect that at a campground- except maybe at Disney
They are flush toilets and warm showers, though.
I have a list of sites that I prefer. If you'd like a list of recommended sites, please email me.
Enjoy!

Here is a list of campgrounds for that area. It was promoting camping as inexpensive option for summer travel

It also listed:
www.adk.com for the Adirondack mountains
www.catskillregiontoday.com for the Catskill and
www.nysparks.state.ny.us for the NY state parks. You usually cannot go wrong with them unless you want sewer hook ups apposed to a dump station.

Hope this helps!
