Plan a weekend camp with your family at the Sampson State Park that overlooks the Seneca Lake. The park area was previously occupied by the Sampson Naval Training Station. Later the site was purchased by the New York State Council of Parks to be converted into a public park. Visit the park which also houses the Sampson Navy Memorial Museum that showcases a number artefacts about the war or camp with your family or friends at the various campsites.

tripadvisorNice park and area. 60% of the sites are not level. Especially loop 5. Be prepared. All are the sites are limestone. Electric supply are shared and somewhere between 50 or 75' from site. You must back in and face your rig forward. Not just on the site. The showers are dated and only 2 per loop. For a place that has no water hookups that is an issue. Some rules are enforced like rv/camper placement others like tents are not. There were people that had portable car ports set up. Some had multiple tents with a camper or trailer. It was centrally located for the finger lakes activities. Some reviews give it a 5 but how can that be without numerous amenities on like paved sites, water, laundry, sewer, and updated bath houses.
MoreSpent five night here last week. This is a good campground but I hope they can fix a few things.Electric is WAY too far from the campers. And to charge to rent an extension just seems like they did that for the $.The music in the background is too loud. I'm learning now it wasn't a guest, it was the minigolf or a wedding. Really needs to be addressed.Lastly, the bathrooms need additional attention. One extra thing needs to be cleaned each week: The light fixture taken down, bugs cleaned out, and washed. Clean the bugs/webs from the tops of the showers.Clean those windows! Gross!Clean the door! Also gross.Blow the debris from in front of the doors and powerwash the concrete.Seriously, such little things to make this SO much better.
More2nd time camping here on Loop 5. Great loop near lake with spacious sites. Park is a large, vast layout of outdoor amenities and history rich material. Surrounding communities also provide history and Finger Lakes charm.The campground has 5 loops and is well laid out, although I recommend you scout sites prior as depth and pitch of some are challenging. Bath/Restroom facilities are a mix of dated and renovated and fairly well maintained. There is no ice available at the camp office, which is unfortunate for a large popular park, but is available at an adjacent private campground and marina. On hot days like our visit, bring the cooler to the store so ice doesn't melt during transit. Be sure to visit the military museum on park property and enjoy the beach, spacious grounds, and trails suitable for hiking and bicycling. The new dumping station is well designed. Note that there are strict rules in place for each season, so be mindful of these. The biggest disappointment is the entry road to the campground area off the main park road. This is poorly maintained, full of ruts, potholes, and uneven patches. Be sure everything is well secured before entering the camping area. Would recommend taking 1st right turn labeled Deliveries and following the newly paved road going by the new dump station, which will bring you directly into Camp Office.
MoreRated below average for a state park. This is based on the state allowing a private business to open a very large RV Resort on park land/water front. Then this year the resort opened a huge mini golf. It’s a nice mini golf with a couple water falls. However, they play loud music, to be heard over the wall falls I guess. I’m in loop 3 and that music is mumbling in the back ground the whole time : /. They really need to address this issue. Use to be one of my favorite state parks to camp.
MoreWe drove our RV here to camp in the last ten days of July. There are 5 loops in the campground. Each loop provides dozens of camping sites. Each loop has a public bathroom, several toilets and 2 showers, all very clean.The campground is very quiet, even with many children and dogs. Loop 5 is next to the lake. The campgrounds in each loop are very close to the lake, and you can go swimming in the lake. The scenery on the side of the lake is beautiful.During the day, we drove out to taste the wines of the Finger Lakes wineries. In the morning and evening, we sat in the campground and enjoyed our quiet leisure time. We will back again.
