I live near this campground, and I tent camped there in May 2008.

Describe your camping trip:

When some friends passed through the area on a trip, I suggested that we camp. I knew of the campground and thought it would be a quiet area situated on Cayuta Lake.
Pros: none

Cons: First off, the campground is nowhere near Cayuta Lake. It is located on a weedy tributary that eventually makes its way to Cayuta Lake. The land is flat and swampy with dilapidated campers permanently on the site. The bathrooms were dirty, but worst of all the woman who owns and runs it could not have been more rude to us, including coming to our tent at daybreak and shouting that we owed her money for some firewood we used the night before and had every intention of paying for.
Nearby attractions: If you want to make the 10-plus mile drive, Watkins Glen State Park and Watkins Glen International, but these are all a far distance from this campground.
Further comments: I wouldn't recommend that anyone visit this campground. Overall, it was a very unpleasant experience.
