Gather Around the Campfire in Ontario County This Summer

Here’s just a sampling of the camping opportunities in Ontario County. The Ontario County Park at Gannett Hill, located on Route 64 near Bristol, is situated on 410 acres of woods and open land with tent and trailer campsites (some with electricity), pavilions, ball diamonds, fishing pond, picnic sites, hiking trails and spectacular scenery. The Park is part of the Finger Lakes Trail Conference, a footpath for hikers that stretches 560 miles from the PA/NY border, crossing the Finger Lakes Region, and ending in the Catskills. Campers will enjoy taking in the incredible views from “Jump Off”, Ontario County’s highest point, located within the park. 

Wilderness and wildlife trails take center stage at Bristol Woodland Campground, located at 4835 South Hill Road in Bristol.  Eighty-one sites on 100 acres in the heart of Bristol Hills, cabin rentals, a large pool, playground and fishing pond combine to make this camping experience very special.  Nestled in the woods near Bloomfield, New York campers will find 40 large sites at Creekside Campsite & RV Park. With Creekside as your headquarters, all the attractions of the Finger Lakes Region are close at hand. And after a busy day of sightseeing it is “so good to come home” to Creekside.          

Campers at Cheerful Valley Campground, located on Route 14 in Phelps just ¾ of a mile north of NYS Thruway exit #42, have plenty of  reasons to smile.  Large grass sites for RVs, campers and tents give everyone lots of room to relax and enjoy.  There are 130 sites with electric and water hookups, but it never feels crowded.  If you don’t have a tent or camper, come and stay in one of the two log cabins on site – each with a front porch. A large swimming pool and access to fishing on Canandaigua Outlet make this a great place to take the kids.   

The KOA Canandaigua,  located on Farmington Town Line Road in Farmington, offers excellent facilities for the camping family.  With 120 sites to accommodate everything from tents to big rigs, 10 cabins, mini-golf, a fishing pond, game room, bike and boat rentals, plus internet connections, it is easy to see why this is a favorite place for campers. 

Its convenient location near NYS Thruway exit #44 only adds to the list of reasons to stay here.
