RV camping near Syracuse

·

Visit a Syracuse RV park in any season and you're guaranteed to peep bright orange. Even when the scenery's leaves are green, the city bursts with its university’s orange spirit and local charm. At an RV campsite in western New York, campers are certain to experience the pride of Syracuse via a walk at Clark Reservation State Park or a visit to Pleasant Lake Campground. Roast hot dogs at an RV campsite with a grill and fire pit, or stop at Hyde's for the true Syracuse white hot experience. For a rental closer to the city, the New York State Fairgrounds—America’s original state fair—houses the Empire RV Park, which remains open from late spring to mid-fall. Here, you can find rentals with restrooms, though for more secluded views, head to any of the region’s trademark lakes. Onondaga Lake, with the adjoining Onondaga Lake Park, is within miles of the city, while the Finger Lakes are a quick drive away.

31mi from Syracuse · 4 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
About the Property: Our unique property boasts quiet camping on a beautifully manicured MotoTrials Riding and Obstacle Play Course. 2025 marks our first year offering camping to the public, and we look forward to HipCampers joining us in our unique venue. All 4 camping sites are nestled into the Obstacle course. Trials riders and non-Trials Riders alike will find much to enjoy here. Campers unfamiliar with Trial are welcome to take advantage of a Lesson on one of our Rental Bikes, while the Obstacle Course is also super-fun on foot (for walks or runs), mountain bike, trials bicycle, or for playing with your RC toy! We have night lighting to turn on at your request, even if just to sit in the evening and enjoy the lights reflecting off the pond-We surely do! We are located on NY 38 but our traffic is not obnoxious (Log and Milk Trucks, Farm Tractors and Commuters). It is very peaceful here. Your camping can be as private, quiet and leisurely as you wish. The views and big sky are gorgeous in our corner of farm country. Our small pond (tho not suitable for fishing or swimming) provides entertainment w/ turtle sunbathing raft and lots of nature's visitors. Pets always welcome off-leash with your guidance. About the Trials Riding: Sundays are a practice day or Event day. We host 4 Mototrial Events each season (see below) and if spectating appeals, you can plan your trip to coincide. You're in for a treat if you've never seen these nimble motorcycles do their 'thing'... up, over, and around the obstacles. Events are busy and exciting, but no worries (!) trials bikes are not loud. Riders are friendly and considerate. If spectating not your thing- no worries. Non-event/non-practice days are quite laidback. If Trials riders come here for additional practice (or instruction) it's not loud or invasive, nor interferes with any camper training or play on the course. When riders are here (barring Events or Sunday Practice ), it's typically only 2-4 at once. Multiple activities co-exist nicely, as there is plenty of room for all. There are many days no one is on the course at all (!) and you may have it all to yourself or possibly with another camper. Hope to see you in our slice of heaven! (2026 Sunday Trial Event Days: May 24, June 21, October 11, November 8)
