25 RV Sites, 4 Tent Sites, 1 House

Twenty-five sites span 20-amp water-and-electric back-ins, 30-amp back-ins and pull-throughs, and full-hookup back-in and pull-through configurations with water, sewer, and electric, sized to 80 feet, with cable TV, site WiFi, and picnic tables. A house rental and cabins serve guests without a rig, and four tent sites cover simpler camping. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. The lake carries the recreation. A beach gives swimmers direct access, a fishing pier serves anglers, and boating runs from the property. Sports courts, a playground, and a clubhouse fill the grounds, with planned activities through the season. Pets are welcome. Adams sits on NY-11 south of Watertown, between the Tug Hill Plateau's upland forest and the Lake Ontario plain. The Thousand Islands region is 45 minutes away, and the Black River valley carries additional outdoor recreation.

Woodland Park

3 RV Sites, 10 Tent Sites

Woodland Park in Sauble Beach, Ontario, offers three full-hookup RV sites and 10 tent sites a short walk from Lake Huron, with 30-amp service and rigs accepted to 60 feet behind a gated entrance. Back-in and pull-through categories join a beach, boat ramp, boat docks, recreation center, and on-site dining. Three sites run in back-in and pull-through categories, both carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30-amp, sized to 60 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. One thing to check: service is 30-amp, so a rig wired for heavier draw will need an adapter and some load management. Sixty feet accommodates a long coach with a tow. Ten tent sites and cabins round out the lodging. A general store, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. A beach, boat ramp, and boat docks open the water for boating, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and fishing, with a recreation center, playground, walking trails, hiking, dog park, horseshoes, on-site dining, and productive birding filling the rest. Pets are welcome. Sauble Beach is the reason to be here. Seven miles of continuous natural sand along Lake Huron's freshwater coast make it the most visited freshwater beach community in Canada, and the campground entrance is a short walk from it. The water is warm by Great Lakes standards and the sunsets over open water are the town's daily event. The Bruce Peninsula runs north from here toward Tobermory, the Bruce Trail, and Bruce Peninsula National Park's grotto and turquoise water. Summer is decisively the season. Reserve well ahead for July and August.

Tiny Village Bon Echo

1 RV Site, 6 Tent Sites

Tiny Village Bon Echo in Ompah, Ontario, offers a water-and-electric pull-through RV site and six tent sites in Canadian Shield country, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 30 feet. Cabins, an outdoor pool, beach, boat ramp, kayak rentals, and on-site dining serve a glamping-focused property near Bon Echo Provincial Park. The RV site is pull-through with water and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 30 feet. Two things to plan around: the site carries water and electric rather than sewer, and the 30-foot cap rules out most modern coaches. Six tent sites and classic rental cabins round out the lodging. A general store, propane fills, restrooms, showers, portable toilets, firewood, and on-site dining handle the practical side. Three policies worth knowing: check-in runs 3pm to 9pm only, checkout is 11am, and while there is no boat docking, launching is free. An outdoor pool and beach anchor the summer, with a lake, boat ramp, boat rentals, and kayak rentals opening the water for boating, canoeing, kayaking, and swimming. A recreation center, playground, walking trails, hiking, corn hole, and a river fill the rest, with offroading nearby and genuinely dark skies for stargazing. Bon Echo Provincial Park is a short drive and is where the Canadian Shield reaches its most dramatic expression — the Mazinaw Rock cliff rises roughly 330 feet straight out of Mazinaw Lake, carrying more than 260 Indigenous pictographs on its face. Summer is the short Ontario season. Reserve well ahead, and plan arrival within the check-in window.

Back Bay Campground

34 RV Sites, 6 Tent Sites

Back Bay Campground in Hammond, NY, offers 34 full-hookup RV sites and 6 tent sites, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 40 feet. Sites come in two categories, regular and waterview, both carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, picnic table, and barbecue, in back-in and pull-thru layouts. The waterview sites are the ones to request. A bathhouse with showers, propane fills, a dump station, a clubhouse, a community fire pit, and cabins cover the rest. Pets are welcome. Boat docks and a beach put guests directly on the water for boating, fishing, kayaking, swimming, and picnicking. Golf is nearby. Hammond sits on the southern shore of Black Bay on Black Lake in St. Lawrence County, a few minutes from the St. Lawrence River — a corner of New York where the fishing is outstanding and the summer pace is genuinely unhurried. Rates for sites and tent spots are on the booking page. Waterview sites book first, and Black Lake fishing season fills the campground.

Cherry Hill Campground

12 RV Sites, 1 Cabin, 33 Tent Sites, 4 Glamping Sites

Cherry Hill Campground in Darien Center, New York, offers 12 RV sites without hookups, a cabin, 33 tent sites, and four glamping sites directly across from Darien Lake Theme Park, with rigs accepted to 40 feet. A single no-hookup RV category joins shaded tent and cabin sites a half mile from the park entrance. Twelve sites are RV no-hookup throughout, sized to 40 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Plan accordingly — these are self-contained sites without utilities, so arrive with full water and empty tanks. One consistent category means no guesswork, and the pricing reflects what you are getting. A cabin, 33 tent sites, and four glamping sites make this predominantly a tent property. A general store, restrooms, showers, firewood, and recycling handle the practical side. Walking trails, hiking, horseshoes, volleyball, and picnicking fill the grounds, with live music and planned activities through the season. Wine and beer tasting and a golf course are nearby. Pets are welcome. The position is the entire proposition and it is a strong one. Darien Lake Theme Park and its concert amphitheater sit about a half mile from the campground on Sumner Road, with a good view of the park from the property — close enough that families can come and go through the day without paying resort parking, and close enough to hear the show. Letchworth State Park's Genesee River gorge is a short drive south, with Buffalo, Rochester, and Niagara Falls all within an hour. Summer drives demand entirely, tracking the theme park and concert calendar. Reserve well ahead for June through August and for show dates.

Back-Achers Campsites

12 RV Sites, 13 Tent Sites

Back-Achers Campsites in Himrod, NY, offers 12 RV sites and 13 tent sites, with 30-amp service and back-in sites for rigs up to 40 feet. Sites are standard back-ins carrying water and electric with a fire pit and picnic table. There's no sewer at the site, so plan on the on-site dump station. Note the electrical: this is a 30-amp campground throughout, so a rig wired for heavier service will need an adapter and some load management, and the 40-foot maximum keeps it to mid-size rigs. A bathhouse with showers, firewood, propane fills and exchange, a snack bar, and a pavilion cover the essentials, and pets are welcome with a playground on the grounds. Walking trails, horseshoes, picnicking, swimming, and boating on the lake fill the days, with the tent sites outnumbering the RV sites — this is a campground first and an RV park second. Himrod sits on the secluded western shore of Seneca Lake, the largest and deepest of the Finger Lakes at 36 miles long, in the heart of Finger Lakes wine country. Rates for sites and tent spots are on the booking page. Summer weekends on Seneca book early.

Economy water-and-electric, premium, and shared buddy pull-through categories join a water park and private lake. One hundred sixty-three sites span economy back-in water-and-electric (tents allowed), economy water-and-electric (no tents), premium back-in, premium pull-through, and shared buddy pull-through categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. The economy tiers explicitly state whether tents are permitted, which removes a common booking ambiguity. Seventy-seven cabins and 25 tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. A water park, splash pad, and outdoor pool anchor the summer, with a private lake supporting boating, canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing, and a beach.
