About
On the eastern shore of Seneca Lake, the largest and deepest of the Finger Lakes, this large campground near Geneva and Romulus offers 239 campsites across five loops, almost all with electric service, plus 10 cottages for a more furnished stay. Each loop has its own comfort station with showers, and a dump station is on site. Maximum two pets per site, leashed to 6 feet, with current rabies proof required.
Fees
Standard sites run about $17/night plus a $7.25 reservation fee; out-of-state visitors add $5/night. Nearly all sites here include electric hookups (a mix of 20 and 30 amp), which adds roughly $7/night to the base rate. Confirm your site's exact hookup and current pricing before booking.
