Come find your smile @ Sandbar Farm

4 sites ¡ Lodging, RVs, Tents18 acres ¡ Arkport, NY
Sandbar Farm was purchased as our home and as a place for both sharing our love and knowledge of horses with others and providing a place for animals to re-group and sometimes recover in order to find their perfect human. We have accomplished this goal for many and some, like Nameless the Mustang, have found a permanent safe place here. Over the years, we have found that our human friends and relatives also find the farm to be fun, and a popular place to relax and re-group from everyday life. We hope that you will feel the same way after a visit. Learn more about this land: Beautiful camping spots among the pine trees. Wake up to deer and horses crossing the fields behind you, birds chirping and the fresh air smell of the great outdoors.

We are also: 5 minutes from Stony Brook Park with its natural stone spring fed swimming pool and miles of hiking trails along the streams; 35 minutes from Letchworth Park, the Grand Canyon of the East with its amazing waterfalls; We are 15 minutes from Dansville, NY where the NYS Festival of Balloons occurs every Labor Day weekend and where the annual Poags Hole Hillclimb happens.

The land was originally owned by the Seneca Indians. The chief in this area was named Chief Shongo. The road the property is located on is named after him. This was his territory Shongo Valley. Shongo Valley road was the foot trail to the Council meetings from Caneadea Council to Geneseo. It then became Shongo Valley Rd. The property has gone through much change. From being a reservation, to a farm pioneered by the Johannes family. The Johannes's were among the first German settlers in our area. They were among the first settlers to build the church just up the road. " The little German Church" which is once again active, has records pertaining to the church history. The farmhouse is still standing and is in the process of being renovated to being the camp store, bathhouse and rec room. More history of the property will be on display there.Learn more about this land:Spacious, secluded sites. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Old logging roads to hike through the woods.

Mission Hemlock Grove

4 sites ¡ RVs, Tents200 acres ¡ Conesus, NY
Welcome, Mission Conesus, originally built by Franciscan Catholics. These lands were likely chosen for many reasons. Suffice it to say there is something special here. Come discover for yourself. Lose yourself here, or maybe find yourself, among the Hemlocks. First, a bit about the terrain. There is much in the way of forest, very mature, and a broad array of plant species. Elevation differences are vast, land to the west is uphill for quite a ways, and downhill to the east, to Hemlock lake below, so the world here can feel a bit tilted. We adjoin 150 acres of nature conservancy lands that nobody seems to know about. These lands are for respectful public daytime use. We also adjoin 6600 acres of NY state forest which is public property. Exploring all that is here would take a very long time! Want to get away? Welcome to our little slice of heaven. We are just getting started in the camping space, but for now, we're accepting bookings and looking forward to hosting you, at the mission.

The best camping near Letchworth State Park guide

Overview

About

Letchworth’s glacier-carved landscapes have earned the park the moniker of “Grand Canyon of the East.” Nowadays, instead of ice, the Genesee River runs through the canyon spaces, shouldered by lush forests. Visitors have 66 miles of hiking trails to enjoy, as well as trails for horseback riding, biking, snowmobiling, and cross-country skiing. Letchworth’s conference and nature center offers outdoor, history, and performing arts programs, plus guided walks, tours, and a summer lecture series. After a day’s worth of hiking to the three major waterfalls that lie between cliffs of up to 600 feet in height, campers can rest up at one of Letchworth State Park Campground’s 270 campsites (or 81 comfortable cabins).

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. As Letchworth is a popular camping destination, booking in advance is highly recommended, especially on weekends.
  2. Booking can be easily done online or by phone and up to nine months in advance.
  3. In the peak season, from mid-May through early October, same-day reservations are allowed only until 3pm, and walk-ins are not permitted. In winter, non-reserved sites are open to same-day reservations and walk-ins.

When to go

For waterfall chasing and wildlife watching, a visit during the late summer or early spring is ideal. On the other hand, the fall season promises picture-perfect views as the leaves burst into color. Winter has a different appeal and the park offers such winter activities as snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, tubing, sledding, and snowmobiling—trails right outside the park’s Maplewood Lodge and nearby Highbanks Camping Ground are part of the New York state snowmobile trail system.

Know before you go

  • The camping area has a well-stocked camp store and laundry.
  • Pets are only allowed in certain loops and must be on a leash no longer than six feet.
  • There are no equipment rentals available inside the park, so visitors must bring their own skis, snowshoes, and other gear.
  • Cell service and wifi are limited in the park, so it’s best to download maps before visiting.
