Sandford Lake

We stayed on a cold rainy Friday night beginning of April, needless to say we were the only ones staying to camp. Some cars drove in to look at the lake or fish for a little while. My husband did fish, didn't catch anything but enjoyed the area. Plan to come back when warmer to fish another day. This time we did not need a permit but like others mentioned you do need to call for a FREE permit from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Found out you can call as early as Mother's Day to reserve a site.

The firepit was falling over so we used a crow bar to make it normal. Another site had a bucket with a bunch of cans in it. Most likely some locals party here and don't clean up after themselves. Lots of firewood to be collected, used our handy battery powered chain saw and had a very nice evening fire.

Each site were a good size and spaced decently apart. They also had a handicapped site available in front of the day use parking area. That would be the largest and flattest site of the 6 sites available.

We stayed here from Tuesday AM to Friday AM in a 25' TT. We we're able to turn around and back into site 6 easily. Had to level the rig, but nothing out of control. We could have fit in 5 out of 6 sites, with one site having a low hanging branch that we wouldn't want to risk. The road in is narrow, but we did not have any issues with traffic being mid week. The park was quiet and the lake views were peaceful and serene. At most, there were two other campers spending the night. Great hikes nearby! We visited Hammondsport (20mins) and Watkins Glen (30 mins). Corning is also close by (est. 30 mins). All in all, we had a great stay and would visit again!

Cute little campground with maybe 6-7 different sites. Not great for big RVs, but good for tent camping and vans. Each site comes with a fire pit and table. There are three portapottties that are well maintained. You have to make a reservation to camp there, but it’s free! All you have to do is call the number on the sign by the front.

Great Verizon signal, lake is right there and is good for fishing. If you swim, I would recommend bringing a float as the water is a little mucky. Easy access - paved most of the way and the dirt road portion is smooth. Overall, great site to stay at for a few days.

Stayed 2x's 7 days with 1 day break, as required. Need a permit from the office, 6 miles away in Bath, NY.
Party spot for the Teens and early 20's on the weekend nights. I spent first 2 days picking up trash left on site, after the weekend.
Nice beach, and swim areas in Seneca, and Keuka Lakes, very clean and refreshing water, only the surface area is heated, starts to cool very rapidly over 5 feet deep, 15-20 miles away.
Roads are in great shape, accommodates up to 30 ft RVs easily.
