We were very impressed with this park! Went in early October, so the beach was closed, but the whole beach area was very nice with lots of room for picnicing, etc. We were happy with our campsite in Twin Fawn loop, and were thinking as we walked around and checked out the other loops that if we had ended up with any of the other sites, we didn't see one we would have been too disappointed in (we did it "blind" via Reserve America and had never been here). All good sized, lots of greenery, and none that had too wet spots that we saw. The bathrooms in the loops were nice, clean and conveniently located. We didn't have any littles with us this time, but the playgrounds looked very cool! A few of the newer style playgrounds, with some old school adult-size swings, too! The staff we encountered were all very helpful and friendly, too We also had someone bring a boat for the day, and the slips that are available down at the boat launch would be very convenient for anyone camping for a weekend or longer with a boat. The lake itself is beautiful to tool around, as well. We didn't get a chance to check out the trails people mentioned, but we did see where two of them headed down towards the lake from Twin Fawn loop. Next time! :) Overall, a neat little park that I can't believe we had never been to. $19 per night is a steal as far as I'm concerned! We'll be back!

We spent 10 days here in our trailer and it was really nice. The campsites are large, flat and not on top of each other. Some sites have electricity but ours didn't, which was OK because our site, like most of them, was nice and sunny so we were able to quickly recharge our batteries using solar. The park is very well maintained and the bathrooms are new and clean. There is a nice little beach, boat launch and picnic area, but it is a mile down a steep hill from the campground so it's a good walk. The clientele is good; people were quiet and everyone was courteous. The only complaint was that there should be paths from the campsites to the bathroom. We were behind the bathroom but the woods were between us and it so it was a 1/4 mile walk around the campground loop to get there. The campsite next to us had a mowed path directly to the bathroom, but alas, people were camping there. Getting to the bathroom, especially at night, was a drag.

We enjoyed the park & beach a lot. Beautiful little spot, not too crowded, lots of wide open space, picnic tables & grills, benches, bathrooms, well kept/very clean, great playground, & a decent lil chunk of beach with lifeguard/s. Fyi- No floaties/flotation devices allowed in the swimming area unless they're coast guard approved (which it would say on it, if it is), & no diving masks that cover the nose. Goggles are ok. Also, the "sand" is like microgravel, not real sand. & I'd recommend wearing water shoes or Crocs. Once you get to the water line it's all rocks on the bottom of the swim area, that do not feel very good on the feet, making it a bit painful to enter or exit the water. There is a roped in shallow section & a deeper section behind it, also. Dog friendly. $7 entry fee (state park). Definitely a great spot, that's not overcrowded or touristy.

We were camping for the weekend and we were pleasantly surprised with our visit Keuka Lake State Park. It was clean and not overly busy. The grounds were better kept than most of the other state campgrounds I've been at. There is a boat dock and launch area, playground, trails, and three camping loops. Some sites have electric and some don't. They do have good separation with plants or trees between most sites which was great. Gives you a little more privacy. We will certainly return. Close to the wine trail and not too from town. There is a small grocery store and restaurant just up the road. Esperanza Mansion is located right across the street.

Love this park. The staff and management are fantastic. You can camp and slip your boat at the same time. The sites are private and spacious, the slips accommodate up to a 24' boat. Our kids had a blast here, fishing, playground, swimming, biking, everything you could possibly ask for and then some. The ranger here is an absolutely amazing human being who really embodies what the title means. He seems to really care for this park and its patrons. All around this NYS Park gives you everything you want for that wonderful bargain price. Try it, it's worth the stay (they even have electric sites for those with glamping needs).

We had an awesome time camping here. It made an excellent jumping off point for everything we wanted to see. The bathrooms were clean and the showers were hot. A word of caution though. We were in site number 61. This camp site has an oak tree that apparently caterpillars love to eat. I don't know what it would be like at other times of the year, but in the beginning of June there were so many caterpillars in our site that it looked like the ground was moving. My tent & all our belongings were covered in caterpillars & their droppings. Other sites were fine as they were more open or had different types of trees.
