Went camping at this campground for 2 nights from 7/26-7/28.

**Overall/TLDR : ** This place has a lot of potential to be an amazing place to camp if the staff takes things seriously and the campers start following rules. But until then if I absolutely had to camp here, I'd definitely pick an off season weekend.

Campground: This is the largest campground in NY state by the number of sites. RVers get their separate section on the other side of the campground. Tenters get 5 loops (A-E) with each loop having an inner subloop and an outer subloop with an average capacity of 40-45 sites per loop. We were in Loop B, and it seemed to be the greenest among all loops. Many of the campsites in the outer subloops appeared to be group sites, which had 2-3 tents each with large families camping together. Overall, the campground was bustling with activity throughout the weekend. So if you are coming her for peace, you're gonna be severely disappointed.

Amenities: There is a single camp store near site B19 which sells basic prepared food items, ice cream, snacks, drinks, fire rings, and firewood. (Important note: there are no fire rings at any campsite. You either need to bring your own or rent it from the camp store for $14 per night). The ring was a large, banged-up aluminum bucket. Firewood was $8, which got us 5 logs of old wood that burned really badly. We had to dump a lot of kindling to keep the fire from going out. The people managing the store were really nice, though.

Campsite: We were in B17. Decent campsite. Slight slope, but the concrete platform made up for it. Bathrooms were about 40-50 ft away, and the camp store (and entrance to the beach) was about 100 ft away. So accessibility-wise, it was amazing. We had a bunch of trees which was perfect for putting up a hammock. Not too many bugs as well. The only grudges we had were:

1. Being close to the bathrooms, there was always someone walking by or driving by. Also, the light outside the bathrooms lit up our tent at night, so without eye masks, it would have been really hard to sleep.
2. There were 2 trash dumpsters close to the bathrooms, and by the 2nd night, the trash bags were overflowing out of the dumpsters, and the stink radius almost reached our campsite. Thankfully, the weather being sunny, dry, and with less wind, was in our favor, so we were able to survive.
3. Neighbor campsites were mostly large families camping with 4-5 tents so noise was a problem.

Bathrooms: There are 3 comfort stations located at 3 central locations across the 5 loops. And as one can imagine, the bathrooms saw a lot of traffic during busy times. Bathrooms were decent. I would say they were well kept by the staff but badly abused by the campers. The men's showers had 6 stalls with the standard double curtain setup. At least one of the shower stalls had broken shower fittings.

Etiquette: We found basic campground etiquette missing on many occasions here. Music and chatter going on until past midnight on Friday night. Kids and adults both cutting across campsites with zero concern for privacy. Cars from large group sites parked on the already narrow roads (effectively turning them into one-way streets). Trash was lying around in bathroom showers, toilet stalls, and basins. The rangers did drive around multiple times but didn't bother even stopping to take a look.

Beach: Right across the road from the camp store is a path that leads to the day area parking lot, which has a small pathway that goes down to the beach. It is a very steep hike down to the beach. If you are not in shape, you WILL be gasping for air on your way up. The sand on the beach has a lot of pebbles mixed in. The water is okayish, but swimming is banned. You will mostly see fishers lined up along the beach. There is a concessions stand as well, which sells the same items as the camp store and a few more hot food options. Overall, the beach is a one-time visit unless you are big on fishing.
