Finger Lakes campground advice

Watkins Glen KOA is a nice place. it's listed as a resort, they have been slowly adding more sites, Sites are nice and long and wide. 1/2 hour to Corning Museum of Glass
10 Minutes to Race track, 15 minutes to Downtown.

Sampson SP is on the east side of Seneca Lake about in the middle (north-south). Haven't been there yet, may be later this year. It is the old Navy induction site (my father in law was there during WWII). It now has a museum about its history, with an archive of those who were there.

If you want or need more info about WNY, just ask, I grew you here and still live here.

While a bit west of the finger lakes, check out Letchworth State Park - 3 very nice waterfalls & a campground at the other end of the park.

If you are willing to make a 2 1/2 hour drive into Pennsylvania, you can visit my favorite state park - Ricketts Glen. Dry camping with hot showers, and 22 waterfalls; hundreds of beautiful cascades along 5 miles of stream.

Depending on where you want to visit, I would recommend that you camp at the north side of the lakes, then move south. As an example, near Auburn and then near Watkins Glen. Chute Park or Watkins Glen KOA are popular parks.

I hope you have the Curtis Wright Museum near Hammondsport, NY on your list. Very interesting Museum.
