About
The Finger Lakes region of New York offers plenty to do. There are 30 miles of interconnecting trails that traverse gorges, ravines, pastures, and woodlands. Finger Lakes gets its name from the long, skinny shape of each body of water. From the air, they look like fingers. Gaze at beautiful waterfalls tumbling over rock faces. Schuyler County hosts Watkins Glen State Park, one of the most popular parks in the entire state. Watkins Glen itself has 19 majestic waterfalls.
When you see the word "lakes," you also figure boating, swimming, and fishing abound. You'd be right. After a long day of relaxing, continue to party into the night. This area has wineries, distilleries, and breweries for connoisseurs of fine drinks.

Campgrounds provide several layers of amenities. Rustic sites let you pitch a tent, while RV hook-ups have electricity. Cabins create a home away from home. Check out private camping on vineyard sites. That way, you enjoy your bottle of wine at night.
Blueberry Patch Campground, the home of you guessed it… a delectable blueberry patch, is a small and cozy campground from which to explore the wonders of the Finger Lakes Region. Sites are available on a first come-first served basis from May until the end of October--just in time to pick the peak foliage. Sites are mostly primitive with a fire pi Read more...
Got the equestrian bug? Bring Mr. Ed on over to the Backbone Horse Campground in the Finger Lakes National Forest. Another great base to explore the Finger Lakes, this semi-primitive campground features great spots for a picnic, your tent, or a good ol’fashioned marshmallow roast. Oh, and tell Mr. Ed there is a water pond for livestock available.
Fancy a group site? Social campers can enjoy the Potomoc Group Campground, the perfect site for family events and youth group activities. Facilities include a large pavilion with picnic tables, cooking grills, camping areas, and vault toilets. So grab your camp song book and the banjo cause we’re all finger pick’n at finger lakes this weekend!
