Keuka Lake State Park

This lovely state park, only state park on the lake, is located on on the western branch of Keuka Lake near Penn Yan, which is on the northern end. It is a great location if your are interested in visiting wineries and two wonderful small museums - Glenn Curtiss, early aviator, and the Finger Lakes Boat Museum.

There are no lake views from the campground, because the campground sits above the lake front. This is an old hill side farm, so the sites are grassy and well screened from each other on three sides with bushes and trees. As another poster said, if you have a lot of rain, the sites could get spongy. The gravel pads could be refreshed. Just about every site has shade and are about equal in size. As someone said, there are no bad sites here.

We were here mid week, so it was very quiet. This campground is very popular on the weekends, so more people mean more noise.

The bathrooms are very clean with two showers in each section. The larger shower in the woman's section was well thought out with lots of hooks, a large shelf in the shower, a seat, good water flow and you control the temp of the water. The other shower was smaller, but offered similar amenities.

There are walking paths that go down to the lake and if you use bikes, you have a downhill ride to the lake, but an uphill ride back! The lakefront is lovely with boat slips, beach, shade, picnic tables and a playground.

Seneca Farms Dairy is not far from the campground and has great homemade ice cream.

Nightly rate includes out of state daily fee and online reservation fee. We chose a site without electricity due to our solar panel system.

This is a very well maintained state park right on Keuka Lake. The area around the Finger Lakes including rolling hills, agriculture, small towns and villages, wineries, breweries, hiking and of course lake access. There is a lot to do and see in this area.

Most campsites are generous in their size and offer blocking vegetation between each site. Sites are primarily grass with some mix of gravel parking area. There has been a lot of rain this year and some sites were very soft. This also brought out some mosquitoes in the evenings after the rain. If you're from the west coast, this is also a good place to see fireflies at night.

Bath house is well maintained. Park rangers come through multiple times a a day. Park service is working around the park every day. Other than the rain, this was a very nice state park.

Only ding on the site was due to the rain and softness of the ground. Campground did get a little noisy on the weekend but reasonable.
