Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Keuka Lake State Park adventure.
Vine-clad hills and lake views draw campers to this tranquil Finger Lakes park.
Keuka Lake sits in the heart of wine country in upstate New York. The lake has plenty of hiking trails, boat launches, and docks plus some handy nearby campgrounds. Take a kayak, canoe, or motor boat onto this gentle lake for a day.
Reel in your dinner, swim in the blue waters, or cool off in the summer sun. Relax and eat lunch at one of the picnic areas and pavilions that overlook the lake. Several outfitters can hook you up with a boat of your choice if you want to pack light. In the winter, bike paths turn into fun cross-country skiing and snowmobile trails.
When you're done communing with nature for the day, share a bottle of wine with someone. A winery tour adds a bit of romance to your getaway.
Campsites sit on a bluff overlooking the lake. There are 150 tent sites and 53 with electric hookups.
Camping season at Keuka Lake State Park runs from mid-May through mid-October, the best time for swimming and water activities. The small beach can get busy during summer and holiday weekends, so arrive early to snag a picnic bench. No vehicle fee applies outside of this period. Hiking trails transform into snowshoeing and cross-country ski trails during the winter months.
