"Reviewers consistently describe Finger Lakes State Park Campground as a clean, family-friendly park with lots of outdoor options—especially kayaking, ATV/dirt‑bike/motorcycle riding, hiking, and a small swim beach. Campground facilities (level, shaded sites; clean restrooms and showers) and helpful staff/camp hosts are frequently praised, and visitors note scenic waterfalls (short trail from the road) and a generally peaceful, uncrowded setting."
