Layland Finger Lakes — Hotel in Town of Potter

I have debated about doing this. I have camped for many years. I have been to some crappy campgrounds. But this was by far the worst. We had NEVER CAMPED HERE BEFORE. We joined in October of 2024 for the 2025 season. This campground is run by a corporate company. There are managers there. The managers 90% Of the time were out to the PA campground. Yes they were out to the PA campground due to staffing issues there. So that tells the campers at Layland who cares As the corporation owns 4 other campgrounds. Yes we have a trailer. But I like to take long hot showers. The bathrooms are beyond disgusting. I don’t think they are ever cleaned. Or if they are it’s very seldom. We had a campsite. My husband would go out once a week to try and put our trailer where it needed to be. Due to the drainage and mud couldn’t. Finally at the middle of June he asked for another site. We had paid for when the campground opened. We could not use the campground until we got another site in the middle of June. No compensation for not being able to camp. The last straw was the site we had there are steel sewer tanks. They had just drained the tank and my husbands right foot went down through to the tank. My husband is 6” Tall. If that had been a toddler it could have been devastating . Now if they had acted right away and replaced the tank. That would have been great. But this happened on 8/2/2025 we pulled our trailer out on the last week of August 25 or around there. Nothing had been done to fix the problem. What if that was a toddler. I do have photos of right after the tank collapsed and their temporary fix. But I will not post them. This campground is not safe and not sanitary. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. It’s sad because the campground has a lot of potential. But they don’t care. All they care about is making the campground an all year campground. The manager will say it takes time the corporation just bought it 2 years ago. Well soap and water and disinfectants are not that expensive. Hire a seasonal camper to maintain the bathrooms. Again I was lucky I have a trailer. Feel really bad for tents they don’t have a choice. I would go on Facebook and post this review. But I made comments about the managers and the bathrooms. lol 😂 I got blocked. I was not going to respond to their comment. But Number 1 my husband was never asked if he wanted medical attention. That is lie number 1. He was asked if he was hurt. Number 2. The managers were not even there they were in PA. THE managers Father was there. Number 3 when I worked. If someone got hurt a accident report was made. Number 4 lie we were never asked to move the trailer. The person that got hurt and any witnesses had to sign the accident report. My Husband did not sign anything. There were promises made that the tank would be replaced. The incident happened on 8/2 we never pulled the trailer out until the last week of August. When my husband stopped at the office the manager and her husband said pulling out for the season. My husband said permanently. Statement made oh we have to put the new tanks in. Then in the next breath statement was made we have to get and find new tanks. CAMPER BEWARE. Also as far as talking to you No Thanks. Now I maybe willing to talk to the CEO of the corporation if you would like to give their name and number. Also you say there is a accident report. Like I said if there is a report of any kind. My husbands signature should be on it. Why don’t you take a photo is such report. Can guarantee my husbands signature is not there. Also we have 2 dogs. My dogs have had their vaccines. But no one ever asked for the rabies certificate. If your going to say you have that again take a photo and post it. Now I am not saying they never ask for the rabies certificate. I am only saying they never...

They asked him if he was hurt. They also state that they offered another site a lie. The also state that they did a report. Whenever a accident happened at work. All parties were aware of the report and signed it. Never saw a report. Managers were in PA WHEN my husbands right leg went through the septic. If you go to camp here they may even bring this up. They state they are in the midst of making changes. They just bought the campground a couple of years ago. That most of the bad reviews are from past seasonal campers when the old...

We stayed at the campground for the Memorial Day holiday weekend. Pros of the campground are that we had a nice shaded site, quiet campground and price for wood was good. The Cons unfortunately outweigh the Pros. There is NO service to the restrooms. Our group had pop-up and tent campers so we need to use facilities onsite which we had access to viewing one we used the entire time and no one ever cleaned it. After the first day it ran out of toilet paper and no staff checked it. We ended up using 3 rolls of our own just to get through the weekend. The restrooms by the office were very dirty, which is uncommon from our experience at other campgrounds. Usually the restrooms near the office is the cleanest since new guests arrive and it's a first impression for them, not this location. The showers are tiny, have low water flow and if you enjoy the shower curtain being pasted to your back end while trying to get clean then it's the place to be. The sinks had rocks and dirt in them, probably by kids but again no staff appeared to clean them at all. The amenities listed online do not exist: miniature golf, community pavilion, shuffleboard and horse shoe area. The place appears to be gutted from an ownership change, if that's the case then it should at least state that online so you know what you're getting. The office hours are whatever the staff want them to be. We didn't see a posting to know when it should be opened or closed, we even asked a staff member who had no idea as well. When we left today we wanted to buy some treats at the store on our way out but it wasn't even open at 10:30am. Lastly but not surprising, the seasonal campers are not friendly. We would smile, say hi or wave to be friendly daily campers but got nothing in return. Overall, if it wasn't for booking a week out from the holiday and it being the only option we could find, we wouldn't have chosen to stay here and do not...
