About
Newtown Battlefield State Park, overlooking the Chemung Valley near Elmira, offers 18 campsites plus 5 cabins (booked separately) at the site of a Revolutionary War battle. Only one site has electric service and can fit RVs up to 40 feet; other sites accommodate smaller rigs. Hot showers, restrooms, and a dump station are on site, along with day-use pavilions, a playground, and horseshoes. Pets are limited to two per site with proof of current rabies vaccination and a 6-foot leash.

Standard sites are about $17/night plus a $7.25 reservation fee, with a $4/night weekend/holiday surcharge; the one electric site (30-amp) adds about $7/night. Out-of-state campers pay an additional $5/night. Cabins are booked and priced separately from campsites.
